Bannered routes of U.S. Route 95

Several bannered routes of U.S. Route 95 exist. In order from south to north they are as follows.

Existing

Las Vegas business loop

U.S. Route 95 Business
Location:	Las Vegas, Nevada
Length:	8.715 mi[1] (14.025 km)

Business U.S. 95 is cosigned with SR 599 (Rancho Drive) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This was the original routing of US-95 through downtown Payette before it was rerouted to its current alignment east of downtown along 16th Street.^[7][8]

Weiser spur

U.S. Route 95 Spur
Location:	Weiser Junction, Oregon-Weiser, Idaho

U.S. Route 95 Spur is a short spur route of U.S. Highway 95 in the U.S. states of Oregon and Idaho. The highway's eastern terminus is in Weiser, Idaho, at an intersection with U.S. Highway 95. Its western terminus is at an intersection with Oregon Route 201 in unincorporated Weiser Junction, Oregon. It was formed ca. 1980, when it was renumbered from U.S. Highway 30N.

The route passes through Oregon and Idaho. The Oregon section of US-95 Spur is designated the Weiser Spur of the Olds Ferry-Ontario Highway No. 455 (see Oregon highways and routes).

The route now known as US-95 Spur was previously known as U.S. Highway 630 and U.S. Highway 30N. U.S. Route 630 was an east–west United States highway. It was decommissioned in or around 1931. With a length of around three miles, it may have been the shortest signed US route ever. It was concurrent with US-30N for its entire length. An earlier route numbered US-630 was proposed from Echo, Utah (northeast of Coalville) to Ogden, Utah, but was never signed in the field. U.S. Route 30N was a split route off of U.S. Highway 30 and was coterminous with U.S. Highway 630 at its west end in Oregon. East of Weiser, it was concurrent with what is now US-95 to Fruitland, Idaho, where it reconnected with US-30.
