Junctions with Interstate 5, US 30 at the St. John's bridge, and Interstate 205 are all signed with "US-30 BYPASS" markers. Portland also had a U.S. 30 Business route along N.E. Sandy Boulevard, however the route was decommissioned in 2007. During the planning stages US 30 was proposed to run through and terminate in Salt Lake City, Utah, but Idaho and Oregon objected. What is now US 30 through those states (west of Burley, Idaho) had been designated as part of U.S. Route 20, another transcontinental route, but it took a detour to the north through Yellowstone National Park, making it inaccessible during the winter season.

A compromise was reached, in which the US 630 route would become the main line of US 30, once improved to higher standards, but that was still not deemed completely satisfactory. Ultimately, in the final system, a split was approved between Burley, Idaho and Granger, Wyoming, with U.S. Route  30N running along the modern routing US 30, and U.S. Route 30S taking the route through Utah (planned as US 630).
