About the Alaska Route System
Decorated with the Alaskan flag, the Alaska State Route Marker was established on August 3, 1955 by the Alaska road commission. Highway markers installed from that time onward were posted along on all major territorial roads and at major intersections to aid tourists. The route numbering system was previously in use by the road commission for several years, but vastly unknown to Alaskans. The initial numbering for the commonly known road names:1
- SR 1 - Richardson Highway
- SR 2 - Alaska Highway
- SR 3 - Glenn Highway
- SR 4 - Seward Highway
- SR 5 - Sterling Highway
- SR 6 - Steese Highway
- SR 7 - Elliott Highway
- SR 8 - Denali Highway
