Highway US 89

Highway 89 is a primary north/south route in the Western United States. In the early design of the US highway system, highways would run through the center of town. As such, US89 is the main drag in towns throughout the western US. The Interstate system was designed to bypass such bottle necks. Interstate 15 parallels US 89. Sometimes the two roads overlap.
