The Interstate Highway System is officially known as the "Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways". It was inspired in part by Eisenhower's experiences in World War II, where he recognized the advantages of the [[autobahn]] system in Germany.<ref name=archivesIHS /> Commemorative signs reading "Eisenhower Interstate System" and bearing Eisenhower's permanent [[General of the Army (United States)|5-star rank]] insignia were introduced in 1993 and now are displayed throughout the Interstate System. Several highways are also named for him, including the [[Interstate 290 (Illinois)|Eisenhower Expressway]] (Interstate 290) near Chicago, the [[Eisenhower Tunnel]] on [[Interstate 70]] west of [[Denver]], and [[Interstate 80 in California]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Dwight D.
