In the U.S. state of Nebraska, the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) maintains a system of state highways.Every significant section of roadway maintained by the state is assigned a number, officially State Highway No. X [2] but also commonly referred to as Nebraska Highway X, as well as N-X.
Highways are generally marked in the format of S-x-Y or L-x-Y, where S or L indicates whether it is a spur or a link, x is the county the highway is in, with ranking in alphabetical order (1 is Adams County, while 93 is York County), and Y is the letter which "numbers" the highway. Recreation Roads are typically unsigned.

Nebraska has 93 counties.They are listed below by name, FIPS code and license plate prefix. Nebraska's postal abbreviation is NE and its FIPS state code is 31.. When many counties were formed, the bills establishing them did not state the honoree's full name; thus the namesakes of several counties, including Brown, Deuel, Dixon, and possibly Harlan, are known only by their surnames.
