What this tracks
This dataset identifies Nevada highways that are part of the National Highway System (NHS), a network of roads critical to the state’s economy and mobility.
Why it matters to you
If you’re planning a trucking route through Nevada, this data tells you which highways qualify for federal funding and higher maintenance standards—meaning fewer potholes and closures. Businesses shipping goods can prioritize NHS routes for faster, more reliable travel. Residents near these roads can expect heavier traffic but better winter maintenance.
How to read this data
RouteID — The official designation for each highway segment, like “100170WA” (a portion of US-95).
NHS — A flag (values like “1”) indicating whether the road is part of the National Highway System.
FromDate — When the segment was added to the NHS (e.g., 1524121200000 = April 19, 2018).
Try it yourself
Check if your regular commute route is part of the NHS by searching the Nevada DOT map for your highway number (like I-80 or US-50).
