Question: Hello, I have a new driver and they are having a difficult time knowing what type of road they are driving on, whether it is an interstate, state highway or county road. I am trying to teach them so if they need help they can give the proper location. Can you help explain so if anyone else is wondering they will know? Thank you.
Answer: One way a person can tell what type of roadway they are on is by the design of the road sign. Pictured are some examples that show what interstates, U.S. highways, state highways and county road signs look like.
