General
- It is possible to extend the Interstate 30 along U.S. Highway 67 from Little Rock. There are also after, a possible expansion, plans for a Interstate 730 along the Arkansas State Route 226 Jonesboro.
- The section of I-30 between Dallas and Fort Worth is called the Tom Landry Freeway in honor of long- time coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Although Interstate 30 south of Texas Stadium, the former stadium of the Cowboys runs. The new stadium will therefore lie in Arlington, closer to I-30.
- In Dallas Interstate 30 is known as the R. L. Thornton Freeway known between downtown and the suburbs of Mesquite. The name was taken from the I- 35E at the Mixmaster node.
- The I-30 is the shortest two-digit Interstate that ends with a zero. In general, these are the longest east-west highways. This is also the second shortest major interstates, where the last digit is a 0 or 5, according to the Interstate 45
