The modern route of US 95 includes the entire former route of U.S. Highway 630, the shortest signed US route ever, in the form of a rare "spur" route.
As of 2004, the highway's northern terminus is in Boundary County, Idaho at the Canadian border, where it continues as British Columbia provincial highway 95. Its southern terminus is in San Luis, Arizona at the Mexican border, where a short spur leads to Mexico Highway 2.
As of 2004, US 95 has two alternate routes.
US 95 is one of the few routes with a designated "Spur" route. Spur US 95 runs from US 95 in Weiser, Idaho to a junction with the former route of U.S. Highway 30 (now a state highway) in Washington, a distance of just 3 miles. In 1927, this section of road was signed as U.S. Highway 630, and is said to hold the record as the "shortest signed US highway." It was co-signed for its entire route with US 30N, and in 1933 the US 630 designation was decommissioned. Sometime after 1980, the US 30N designation was itself decommissioned, with this three-mile segment re-christened "Spur US 95".
