What’s the difference between highways that carry the letters “US,” “I” and “M”?
 
Answer:
“I” highways, such as I-94, are part of the Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Interstate Highway System which extends to all 48 mainland states. “US” highways extend to two or more states, and “M” highways begin and end within Michigan.
