Interstate 595 (Maryland)
Interstate 595 (I-595) is an unsigned number for a section of the John Hanson Highway (U.S. Route 50 and U.S. Route 301) from Interstate 495 (Capital Beltway) east of Washington, D.C. to Maryland Route 70 at Annapolis, Maryland.
US 50/I-595 has an HOV lane in each direction from west of the Beltway to east of US 301, a distance of 8 miles (13 km). Unlike other HOV lanes in the Washington metropolitan area, which are only restricted during rush hours, the HOV lanes on I-595 are restricted at all times.
I-595 is the longest unsigned stretch of Interstate Highway on the entire Interstate system, at 19.97 miles (32.14 km) long. It was left unsigned because motorists were already familiar with US 50.

Famous quotes containing the word interstate:
“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
