From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
U.S. Route 195 is a spur of U.S. Route 95. It currently runs for 95 miles (153 km) from Spokane, Washington at Interstate 90 to Lewiston, Idaho at U.S. Route 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 because it has few passing lanes and many users, including a large number of college students from Washington State University in Pullman and from the University of Idaho in nearby Moscow. Also, the road traverses miles of steeply rolling palouse hills and frequently becomes icy and/or fogbound in the winter.[citation needed]
[edit] Route description
US 195 begins at a junction with U.S. Route 95 north of Lewiston, Idaho at the top of the Lewiston Grade. The highway enters Washington on the access ramps from US 95. US 195 skirts the western edges of Pullman. Just outside Pullman, it intersects with State Route 270, a road that directly serves the university towns of Moscow, Idaho and Pullman, Washington. Further north, it forms the main street of Colfax, Washington, where it intersects Route 26 then heads for Steptoe, Washington. It crosses State Route 23 at Steptoe, Washington. Travelling north, US 195 continues through Eastern Washington farmland, and terminates in Spokane at Interstate 90. The original ending point followed U.S. Route 2 toward Sandpoint, Idaho. This was decommissioned in 1969.
Legally, the Washington section of U.S. 195 is defined at Washington Revised Code § 47.17.380.[1]
