U.S. Route 195
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
U.S. Route 195 is a spur of U.S. Highway 95. It currently runs for 95 miles (153 km) from Spokane, Washington at Interstate 90 to Lewiston, Idaho at U.S. Highway 95. It passes through the states of Washington and Idaho. The road is considered one of the more dangerous highways in the state of Washington due to its heavy use and amount of college students driving between Spokane and Pullman, home of Washington State University.

[edit] Route description
US 195 begins in Spokane. (The original starting point started in Sandpoint, Idaho, then followed U.S. Route 2 toward Spokane. This was deceased in 1969.) Travelling south, US 195 quickly leaves the city and becomes a two-lane highway going through Eastern Washington farmland. It intersects with State Route 23 at Steptoe, Washington. Further south, it is the main street of Colfax, Washington heading its way toward Pullman, Washington. Just outside Pullman, it intersects with State Route 270, a road that directly serves the university towns of Moscow, Idaho and Pullman, Washington. US 195 skirts the western edges of Pullman, continuing south until it ends at U.S. Highway 95 north of Lewiston, Idaho at the top of the Lewiston Grade. The highway enters Idaho on the access ramps to US 95.
