who would ride on an interstate is nuts at least around
here. My question is that are there interstates out West
that are reasonably safe or possibly the only way to get
between some place? I recall years ago 2 lane instate in
maybe Idaho?

Yes and yes.
The image above actually is on an Illinois Interstate.
And yes some western States allow vehicles (including
bicycles) prohibited elsewhere because, as you note, there's
no reasonable alternate route.

Maybe if the Interstate system put up informative signage?I think that there are too mzny frontage roads that occasionally slip out onto the Freeway. We have bicycle (usually protected) lanes on our bridge systems and even bridges that you must cross in the traffic lanes. The Alameda Tube must be used even though there is only room for one bike in one direction. If approaching another bike, one of you has to hold your bike over the rail out over traffic. I normally do that because I won't drop it all the way down into the moving traffic. The traffic is about ten feet below so there's no danger of hitting a truck while doing that.
