Standards for Interstate Highways in the United States are defined by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) with several publications such as the A Policy on Design Standards: Interstate System. For a certain highway to be considered an Interstate Highway, it must meet these construction requirements or obtain a waiver from the Federal Highway Administration.
