Interstate Highways
Explore the U.S. Interstate Highway System through real-world drive videos, covering major routes like I-40, I-70, and I-95. Watch scenic, urban, and rural interstate journeys across America on RealRoads.tv
The United States Interstate Highway System is the backbone of the nation's road transportation network, connecting cities, states, and regions across more than 46,000 miles of road. Built for speed, efficiency, and mobility, the Interstate system revolutionized travel and commerce following its inception in 1956 under the Federal Aid Highway Act. These highways are designed for long-distance travel, offering controlled-access roads with high-speed limits and minimal interruptions—ideal for both roadtrippers and freight haulers alike.
At RealRoads.tv, our focus is on capturing the real-world driving experience along these major routes. From scenic segments through the Appalachians to urban sprawl near major cities, we document what it’s like to drive the length of interstates like I-10, I-70, or I-95. Whether it’s a full-length drive or a short but significant connector, our videos showcase the personality of each highway as it winds through America's landscapes.
Our collection spans dozens of Interstate corridors with footage across a majority of the 48 contiguous states. You’ll find both mainline interstates (one- and two-digit numbers) and auxiliary routes (three-digit spur and loop routes), each categorized and tagged by location, route, and terrain. These are not textbook tours—they’re windshield-level views into the actual experience of America’s highways.
