- I still have a cold so my voice is a bit out of control but carry on we must! This is an ASMR style video digging into some interesting facts about the interstate system in throughout United States - it's aim is to relax and or distract your busy mind.
*median is the grass in the middle! 🤪
I listen to Stuff You Should Know podcast about interstates and looked up facts online, im not an expert at all - please be kind in the comments.

Trucker here I gotta clarify that an interstate is not a free way it’s actually a trail of encrusted dirt that was made in the mezazoic period by the giant arthropod’s chugging and crawling on through what once was North America. It’s a pretty common misconception and you’d never catch me making such a frivolous mistake as a seasoned master of highways but you did okay for your first try
OMG, lololol! Thanks for watching and commenting!
No honestly im from UK and im blown away by the creativity on this. Never thought id be interested in the interstate system but here I am!
Thanks so much!😊
Me too! Heard the soothing voice and was like hell yeah what a great topic to relax to 😂
Trucker here. I gotta clarify couple things. All interstates are freeways. They are just federally funded. Every freeway you drive on with that blue shield is an interstate. Often time yes states will only put in state funded freeways in cities but arent exclusive to cities. As far as thr 55 on highways thats more of an east coast thing. When you get out west of the missouri river highways are usually somewhere between 60-70 mph depending on the state.
Yeah relaxing video, but glad someone pointed out the inconsistencies
So... the Pennsylvania turnpike, aka I-76, literally the most expensive road to travel in America.... is a FREEway?? No. By definition, a freeway is a highway with no toll. Not sure where you are a trucker, but clearly not in the Northeast or Midwest.
Relatively certain that highways are the smaller version of freeways, which have to have at least 2 lanes in any given direction. Highways also can have intersections and stop lights. Where it gets confusing is that Interstates are a type of highway that is basically federally funded, it doesn’t even have to cross state lines BUT 99% of interstate highways are freeways.. which is to say they have been widened to have at least 2 lanes in any given direction.
All of that aside, this video was fabulous ❤
@@margefoyle6796 "FREEWAY" is not in referance to potential cost of tolls. Freeways do have tolls thoughout the country, starting as far west as Kansas. A freeway is a road devoid of inersections and use on and off ramps to enter and exit the road.
I’m from Finland and we have expressways [🛣️], two-lane expressways [🚘] and other regular roads. The expressrways and two-lane expressways are marked with green color and have their specific rules such as no crossing. They are mostly in Southern Finland and many other long roads in the countryside are like highways. We have some freeways in like in Helsinki region like half circular roads going around Helsinki called Ring I (inner, city), Ring II (not actually ring shaped, goes in Espoo (city west side of Helsinki)) and Ring III (outer, metropolitan) (goes close to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport and ends to Vuosaari cargo port). Regular roads are marked with blue, local roads with white, tourist attractions with brown, village sites with black and construction sites with yellow. Finnish National roads are classified as longer highways (”Valtatie”, numbered 1-29, red label), shorter highways (”Kantatie”, numbered 40-98, yellow label), regional roads (”Seututie”, numbered 100-970, white label) and connecting roads (”Yhdystie”, numbered 1000-9999? (four numbers), blue label). Some highways have also pan-European numbering (road E[?], green label). Åland Islands have their independent highway numbers 1-4, a little like Hawaii in USA which has own interstate numbers like H1, H2 and H3.
Interesting! Thanks for the comment!!
this style of presentation, especially the beginning where you cut the paper and sorted it, was brilliant and attention holding. great video
Thank you so much!!
I'm so sorry for all the "I'm a trucker 🤓🤓🤓" "my great grandpappy worked on those roads!" "Ackshually 🤓☝🏾" Types of people you're getting under this video 😭. This was an amazing video, and you have an amazing voice. Thank you for taking time to create this! 🩷
Thanks, I tried.
@@Nofrillsasmryou did great queen, men just don’t know when to shut up and listen sometimes 🫶🫶
@@aylahaenggiin my entire life i have never been called “queen”. I will hold my head higher now - I’m not letting that crown slide!! 😂 Thank you so much!! ❤
Great video
@@aylahaenggiAmen to that! 🙌🏼
the algorithm happened to recommend me your 2nd nfl video and i’m so glad it did! i love this kind of asmr - lofi, soft spoken, mix of audio and visual triggers. thank you for your content, it is so relaxing!!
Thank you so much for this comment! I’m so pleased you enjoy it.
Same lol
Enjoyed this so much!
Dont be afraid to take a rest/break until you feel better. We wont go anywhere, dont worry.
Thank you for that. 😊
wow, I subbed immediately. your audio quality is excellent. soft spoken, not whispered. and your topic is just in the perfect spot between interesting and boring. i look forward to browsing the rest of your videos!
Wow, thank you!
I love love love these videos. Your hand movements and organization of the paper diagram is really relaxing.
Thank you so much!
My grandad was a trucker he loved talking about stuff like this !
That's awesome! Thanks for watching.
This was a great video! I learned some things today. Always wondered if there was a method behind the numbering. I’m glad this video was recommended to me! Thank you for taking the time to make these
It’s my pleasure. Thank you so much for commenting.
Wow that never occured to me living on the east coast near I-95 the interstate and also Route 1 a highway that it was set up that way with the high low, east to west thing Very interesting. Also I love your style and voice.
It’s interesting isn’t it? Thanks for watching and commenting - I appreciate it.
The way I smashed that sub button. I love your voice. I grew up outside of Houston and used to take I-10 to see my grandparents all the time. So many good memories!
Thank you so much!!
This was very informative! Love your soft spoken voice and the organization in the video was very calming ☺️
Thanks!
This is so awesome. I love explanational asmr and it can be hard to find sometimes. Pov and roleplay can be fine but it's everywhere lol
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks so much for commenting.
I wasn't aware the US interstate system would be so fun to learn about..
I was surprised too! It really is interesting. Thanks for the comment!
This video was both very interesting (especially as a non-American that wants to do a big road trip through the US at some point in the future) and because of your voice and way of talking deeply relaxing and soothing. This type of casual soft-spoken ASMR is so much better than the unnatural whispering of most ASMR people.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! A road trip across the states is an epic adventure! Thanks for watching and commenting.
i also would love to do a big road trip across the us!
I just discovered your channel recently and I bloody love it, the style is so easy to watch and your voice is like warm milk and cookies, props to whatever mic you use 😮
Thank you so much! Now I’m hungry. 😊
I just found your channel and I’m so excited to watch all your content!! Amazing!
Thanks!
Yay, I love videos like this. I've subscribed. I love educational, but not too much, and realistic relaxation rather than forced. I also find it helpful the occasional video without a face, which can be distracting or overly flirty. Perfect :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I hope you check out some of my other videos. Thanks so much for subscribing!
Thank you. Great ASMR and interesting info. I always wondered about the numbering of roads. I thought it might just be random, but it’s not. Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching.
Yay a new asmrtist to watch
I'm so glad you're here! Thanks for watching.
Great content, thank you for creating. I knew some of these things, but you organized it well and filled in with interesting details. You have a great soft-spoken voice. And I do love a road trip, ever since childhood in NJ we would travel to Cleveland to see g’parents and use the PA turnpike!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting.
Wow you are so relaxing! ☺️ I would love to see some videos of you whispering too ❤
Go check my playlists - there’s one called “whispering” where there’s a bunch of videos. Thanks for watching!
Ohh good gosh i love these kinds of asmr soft spoken videos!! Learning something new while sleeping 😴 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you!!!
You are so very welcome! ☺️
you were recommended me yesterday and you’re my new favorite ASMR channel! keep up the great work your content is so lovely im sure you’re going to blow up here in a second
Thank you so much!
I love videos like these! Informative
Thanks!
Love love love that PA is the most expensive toll road. Thankfully I've only had to pay the toll to get to Dorney Park!
Yes please!! I love this!
Excellent!! Thanks for watching.
thank you my queen ❤❤it is so relaxing. as someone who is new in US, this is very helpful to me 🎉🎉
You're so welcome!
so relaxing and interesting/informative. my favorite kind of asmr :DDD
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching.

What an amazing video idea I’m only a couple minutes in and it’s so relaxing!
I'm so glad!
@@Nofrillsasmr I just kept watching your videos last night and finally fell asleep! Your voice is so beautiful! Thanks so much! I subscribed. I love the way you explain stuff. Don’t ever get nervous that you are not explaining things right and even if you don’t who cares we are all here to relax , and nobody is perfect. Have a great day!
@@levonyoung3749thanks again! I really appreciate this comment so much.
Loooooved this video. Love your soft spoken voice, and I love learning things, especially since this can aid me. This is the first video I’m watching from you, were you a teacher? I like the visual aids, I didn’t have to think too hard and could relax lol.
Thanks so much for watching. I was never a teacher, but I would pretend to be one as a child. 👧
Just back home to scotland from visiting family in Florida and doing a little road trip round the state. Sure could have used some of this knowledge beforehand!
Sounds like an awesome adventure! Thanks for watching.
Yooo this video hits different
And each state has variances between their highway systems. Not to mention, all their traffic laws. So that's fun!
I SO appreciate these simple videos. So many asmr videos feel like insta thirst traps...im not watching so i can tell you how great your makeup looks, im trying to fall asleep 😅
Glad you like them! Thanks!
YESSSSSSSSS i love this kind of asmr
Thanks!
Outstanding video! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is so cool, my grandpa was a truck drive so I'm all interested!
I love this! Thanks for watching!
Hello! It would be interesting to see a video on side roads, alleyways, and general rural lanes around the Northeast area. They vary a lot around here
the sound of the mic aloneeee made me subscribe
Thanks!
I always wonder what the difference between a freeway and a highway was . Thank you so much for this video
I mean, a lot of viewers comments saying I got a lot wrong, so take it with a grain of salt. I did listen to a podcast and research quite a bit, so I stand by it. 😊 Thanks for commenting, I do appreciate it.
lovely video, very relaxing. thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks!
Thanks for the video!
I often drive to visit my parents who live four states away from me, and it's great to watch ASMR about a topic that is relevant and interesting to me. From my time driving the highways, I've picked up quite a bit about the categories and naming conventions, and from what I understand, some of them are slightly different to how you described them:
Controlled access highway (also called freeway), which does not have at grade intersections.
Limited access highway, which does have at grade intersections.
An interstate is just a controlled access highway that is signed as part of the US Interstate System.
Remember that there is a person (me) who spends time researching, makes this video for no money, and then reads this - and to be honest, this hurt my feelings. I think you could rephrase this, in a way that is more kind. I'm trying and I did research, and this is what I found out. Thank you for clarifying things you felt were incorrect - I always appreciate that.
@@Nofrillsasmr You know what? You are absolutely right, and I sincerely apologize. I clicked on the video because I love ASMR about interesting facts and trivia, and I wrote an insulting comment towards the very person providing that. I'm sorry for what I said, and I'll rephrase my comment. Thanks for putting in so much effort to help people relax and sleep.
@@Phoenix51291Aw, thanks. I listened to a podcast called Stuff You Should Know about the subject and googled to get my information. I try hard, but I admit I am often incorrect. I feel much better now - have a great night.
@@Nofrillsasmr Keep it up! I've listened to Stuff You Should Know, and while it's a great podcast, I recommend using Wikipedia as a resource. It's more likely to have up-to-date and correct information. Have a good night as well.
This video is so interesting!!!!! I never realized how much I didn’t know I didn’t know about my roads!!!
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the comment.
I'm a new listener and the scissor cutting is so pleasing to me!!
I always enjoy that sound as well. At the end of the new West Virginia video there is some scissor cutting - fyi.
wow so relaxing!
Glad you think so! Thank you!
This is so interesting. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
was 2 mins into the video and immediately subscribed
Thank you so much!
Favorite asmrtist ❤
I really appreciate you saying so. Thanks.
Excellent video. Never change. Subscribing 😄
Thank you so much!
This video definitely strengthened my crippling addiction to smaller ASMR creators. Thanks algorithm ^-^
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it.
i started having trouble falling asleep again and luckily came upon this video, next thing i knew i was out lol, thanks a lot!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Pretty sure I remember learning Eisenhower signed the highway act as a means of supply routes and emergency runways in case of an invasion that’s why the interstate has to be a set minimum width to fit jets!
Interesting fact! Thanks!
I loved this. I’m for the EU and I love learning about the more mundane aspects about other countries like roads
I’m glad you liked it! Thanks!!
Got my license about a year ago, I’ve been on 3 road trips since then. I’ve been through LA traffic and their drivers’ insanity, hurricane Hilary, blizzards, deserts, cities, middle of nowhere, freezing fog, sandstorms, blue skies, forests, up and down mountains, nighttime, daytime, and everything in-between. Have only not been through east coast cities, swamps, and mud.
I absolutely love it, having enough good music or company is the only thing needed if you only stop for gas. Cruise control is a godsend, truckers are the safest drivers out there, and seeing all the sort of traveling culture is a privilege.
100% agree! Thanks so much for sharing.
Hey this is actually handy if you ever find yourself in an unknown place….you can find any Interstate/highway and deduce what general region you’re in, NESW
So true! Thanks for the comment!
Omg... Thank you UA-cam for recommending this channel. Instant sub! 😴👌🏻
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I dig this
Thanks!
Kansan here... The DOT basically had 8 kids with names Jack, Jill, Josie, Jennifer, James, etc... and named their ugly middle child Randy. You'll see what I mean...
I really don't understand why swapping the start/end points for highway/interstate nomenclature was necessary. The whole naming system is kind of nonsense.
If we swap the increment directions, there will still be a point where the numbers cross, which defeats the purpose. In KS we have US highways 69, 75, and 77 in addition to I-70, and no one ever gets confused. If you skip numbers, you lose consistency. We have US54/56 which run east/west, and also US24 which is further north.. skipping 30s and 40s I guess because I-35 is already in Kansas? Now I can't predict what the highways will be, and I always thought that I-60 would run through Oklahoma... And it does, but it's a route and not an interstate. I-40 runs through Oklahoma though... How are we supposed to know where highways are without a map? You'll also notice that 75 is not an interstate, despite ending in 5, which defeats the entire purpose of interstate/highway names in the first place.
The whole naming system is arbitrary and inconsistent. If the increment slopes were running the same direction, it would be much more consistent and force the DOT to make the names more clear. If the names aren't consistent from the get go, there's no point in making a naming system. It's like having 8 kids with J-names and then naming a random one in the middle a R-name. You sorta tried, but made a ridiculous decision that screwed the whole thing up.
Fun fact, any 3-number highway is an interchange that connects two other highways. 135 links I-35 and I-40. 435 does a ring around Kansas City and connects 35 with 70. 475 does a ring around Topeka and connects 75 with I-35 and I-70.
UA-cam suggested you, I’m in love 🥰
😊 Thanks!
Thanks
I hope you enjoyed it!
I think Hawaii and Alaska technically have interstates. I’ve been to Hawaii and driven on H1 which has the same sign as a normal interstate? Still confuses me to this day
I would love to be driving around Hawaii right now!! I love it there so much!!
oooooooooooo fantastic channel 👍
Thank you!
You should do one about the CIA and illegal interference by American intelligence in other countries domestic affairs. Just an idea! Love your informative vids.
CIA is cool af
Interesting idea. Thanks!
Was way to relaxed to care if she was right or wrong or not 😌
That's the plan! Thanks for watching!!
Obsessed w the scissors
relaxing i know
Lovely, thank you! Could listen to you for hours
Wow, thank you!
Clicked on this video on accident and it might be the best damn mistake I’ve made this month
Thanks!
8:00 - 8:26 😮❤
Interesting right?! You learn something new everyday.
i’ve driven on 95 so much bc i just got my own car & traveling between states for college & going home not knowing i was driving on the “highest” numbered interstate. woow
Well, if I said that you might double check that fact because people in the comments here are definitely saying I had stuff wrong. Whoops. Either way - thanks so much for watching and for leaving this lovely comment!
@@Nofrillsasmr we all make mistakes! we’re human :)
The UK equivalent I think would be that Interstates are called Motorways, and Highways are called A roads.
A free way would just be one of those that goes around a city.
“One of those roads that just goes around the city.” 😂 That’s funny. Thanks for watching. Driving near the Cotswolds in England was one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever done btw!! 😊
okay wait, maine has a highway 1? california has a rather famous highway 1, aka the pacific coast highway. i didn’t know there was another one!
I gotta go study a map. I'm not sure anymore. lol Thanks for watching!!
"Was he just doing this to make extra money?"
Yes
Hmmmm. Some things don't seem correct here.
The term freeway is a term that refers to either an interstate or US route that does not require a toll (toll road or turnpike). It is not a third category.
Highways are main interconnecting roads. They are regular roads, can be two lane (one each way) or more. These connect towns. These can be county roads, state highways, or US routes. It's just a description of the type of road. It can also be free or toll, depending on the state.
Separately...
Interstates are a highway system mandated by president Eisenhower for defense purposes, as mentioned in the video. These are, as suggested, at least 4-lanes (2 each direction) in each direction. They are always referred to as freeways in the west, but in the rest of the country (where many roads are toll roads), that is not the case. Anyway, as mentioned, odd interstate numbers increase from west to east, and even ones do the same south to north.
US routes are a much older system, numbered exactly opposite than interstates. They don't run as specifically North to South (think route 66 from LA to Chicago), but generally speaking they do. US Route 50 runs from Sacramento CA (used to be Oakland, but interstates came along and changed everything) to Arlington VA. US 1 starts in the Florida keys and heads north to Maine, though it hasn't been continuous in decades for reasons I don't know offhand. But US 101 runs continuously from San Diego to the Olympic peninsula west of Seattle.
Interesting. Everything I learned I learned from a 1/2 hour google session. Thank you for all your insights!
@@Nofrillsasmr regardless, very nice ASMR. Thank you!!
Central reservation - bit in middle with grass on
I’ve never heard that! Thanks!!
@@Nofrillsasmr You're welcome :)
55mph is max limit??!! That’s quite slow for major roads, (88km/h for any non-Americans wondering)
This is why Sammy Hagar sang “I can’t drive 55!!” and we all agree! 😎
I5 becomes Canada 91 across the border, ends in mid-Vancouver and just dumps you into the city
I’m going to Vancouver soon! That has nothing to do with what you said, but I’m excited to go! 😊 Thanks for the comment.
@Nofrillsasmr It's a great city! Just avoid East Hastings. Granville Island is amazing
scooby doo more like :D
British person here. In the UK Interstate + Highway + Freeway = Motorway. easy.
Thanks for watching!
Omigosh! You just used some expensive sewing shears to cut that paper!
I believe you’re right. This is how I roll apparently. 😂 I tried out some others in todays video because of your comment!
those are nice scissors.
I love them.
This is the most random asmr video I've come across. And I wasn't looking for asmr. Random suggested. The algorithm is about to blow up this channels subscribers count. Watch...
Interesting. I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
more vids on obscure topics like this please!!!!!!!
I try! Thanks for watching!!
Medium or partition
Partition sounds fancy - I’m going with that!
"Median"
*intersection
How about parkways? 😂
Damn what about expressways 😭
At 1:53 I think your looking for the word median
Correct! Thank you! Words just fly out of my head sometimes.
medium 1:50
Yes, thank you! My brain has trouble bringing up words I know sometimes.
lol yeah never knew I been misspelling median my bad @elmonstro7852
Median, even more correct. lol
The PA turnpike is so expensive and yet it’s in terrible condition
“The World’s Greatest Highway” is its name. Thanks for watching!
I’m in the ‘soft spoken’ camp, whispering also sounds painfully forced too, which doesn’t lead to tingles. 🤓
