    Interstate numbers ? Easy.
    Odd: north and south decreasing east to west.(95 in east, 5 in west) 5s go border to border.
    Even: east and west decreasing north to south. (90 in north, 10 in south) 0s go coast to coast.
    Even prefix number to interstate ( i.e.470) goes around cities
    Odd prefix number (i.e.581) spurs into cities becoming surface street.
    Got it...?? 😏😎

    Hey Nolan, you forgot to mention that the reason why interstates have long turns in them instead of just being long straights to a certain town or place.. Its to keep people awake and not fall asleep behind the wheel.. And why theres a minimum of a 2 mile straight every 10 miles.. So planes can use the highway in case of an emergency and they need to land..

      In Switzerland, it is common knowledge there are portions of its highway system designed for dual-use motor vehicle traffic/military plane runway. There are even hangars built into mountain sides by the highways for such military use. In a small country, one must make use of what one has available.

      I thought the interstate was famous for having very long straight, the autobahns ( and almost every European motorways ) have long and smooth curves

    • @TransitAndTeslas
      @TransitAndTeslas 6 років тому +9

      Edi Pires There was another video on this. Autobahns were more expensive, the US Method was modeled after this but it was cheaper to have more straight than all the curves. The Germans also had thicker pavement whereas ours is much thinner.

    Odd Number freeways run North to South with lower odd in the West (i.e. I-5) and higher Odd in the East(i.e. I-95)
    Even Number Freeways run East to West with lower even numbers in the South (i.e. I-10) and higher even numbered in the North (i.e. I-90).
    Auxiliary highways that are triple digit numbered and usually have the primary number in it.
    example in SoCal.
    I-5: I-105, I-405, I-605, I-805
    I-10: I-110, I-210, I-710.
    Even numbered Auxiliary highways go around the city while Odd numbered goes through a city.

      “_Even numbered Auxiliary highways go around a city while Odd numbered [go] through a city_”
      To clarify, the ‘even’ and ‘odd’ digits referenced are the first digit of the three-digit Auxiliary highway.
      An Interstate numbered 350 (hypothetical, nonexistent) would be classified as an _odd_ numbered auxiliary highway, despite its nature as an even number in all other uses.
      It’s mostly correct that the even digit Auxiliary highway is routed around the city but I’m pretty sure in some cities the mainline Interstate is a bypass around the city and an even-numbered Auxiliary Interstate serves the city center.
      It is mentioned above that odd-numbered Interstates run through a city. This is mostly correct. It should be noted, however, that Auxiliary Interstates with an odd first digit usually only intersect the parent route or any other Auxiliary routes of the parent route once.
      For odd-numbered routes that run through a city, it’s usually a spur that ends in the city at local streets or at another highway. Examples of these include both Interstate 395s in Baltimore and the District of Columbia (separate highways).
      Odd numbered highways occasionally don’t run through a city but instead connect one mainline interstate to another. An example of this is Interstate 380 in Pennsylvania, which begins at Interstate 80 and ends at Interstate 84 east of Scranton.
      Auxiliary highways can also never intersect the parent route but instead intersect another auxiliary of the parent route, in which case the same rules apply. In New York, for example, there’s Interstates 278, 478 and 678, which, while none are technically connected to I-78, all are numbered due to their connections with each other.

    I think it is also important to note some of the horrible things brought about by the interstates. Entire thriving neighbourhoods and communities of mainly poor and minority people were razed to make way for highways. This happened in Detroit and Boston, among other cities. It also brought about suburbanisation and car dependence which have wrecked havoc on the country and the environment.

    Primary Interstate highways have one or two digits. Odd numbered highways run north-south, while even numbered highways run east-west. Highways with numbers divisible by five are major highways which run most of the length across the country. Numbering of odd numbered highways increases from west to east, while numbering of even numbered highways increases from south to north. This is opposite to the system used by the older US Highways to prevent two highways with the same numbers from running through the same states. For the same reason, there is no I-50 or I-60.
    Auxiliary Interstate highways have three digits and serve areas which the primary highways run near but do not serve directly. The last two digits are the same as those of the parent highway, while the first denotes the type of auxiliary highway it is. Odd first digits are used for spurs, while even first digits are used for beltways and bypasses. The one exception to this numbering scheme is I-238 in California, officially an auxiliary of I-80 (all other x80 highway numbers were already taken).

      1) Nobody follows them anyway
      2) America is too big and sparse to ban idiots from driving or raise driver standards, therefore speed limits are a necessity for safety.
      Once self driving cars exceed human performance and become affordable to buy, then we can increase driver standards or ban human driving entirely. When every vehicle on the road is following the road rules and are automated, we will be able to remove inefficiencies in the road system without compromising safety.

    This could have been a fun tidbit to add: "Thomas Jefferson directed his Postmaster General, Gideon Granger, to vastly expand the U.S. road system under the guise of building the post roads. His real motive was to make it easier for federal agents (postal appointees) to monitor the travels of his Vice President and arch-rival, Aaron Burr, as he made his way around the country seeking allies in a bid for independent power." - "Trains, Planes, and Automobiles: Reinventing Transportation Law" by Richard L. Hermann

Which is why you have I395 stopping abruptly in the middle of DC.

He hadn’t driven a car in years, eaten casually in a restaurant in more than a decade, learned to dial a telephone, shopped in a grocery store, written his own checks, or managed his own money." - G.M.

    Odds go North/South, Evens go East/West. All Interstates are numbered between 1-99 expect for those who deviate from their parent highway (I-405 is a deviation and reconnects with I-5) in most cases, those three digit highways don’t actually cross a state line

    We need more interstates connecting more cities and to make them wider to alleviate traffic and spread the wear and tear out on highways. Efficient travel that takes the shortest route at an optimal speed for gas mileage is better for the environment and would help with electric vehicle adaption by allowing them to achieve their max range. More big cities need ring interstates to shorten travel times in cities and keep cars off side streets and local roads for traffic and maintenance. We definitely need higher speed limits on roads, 75-100mph depending on the area and terrain.

  • @HSMiyamoto

    I am old enough to realize that the Interstates have made long distance driving at night easy. As long as you stick to the super slabs, you can get gas and food and more all night long. The interstates have, in a way, made the USA into a 42,000 mile long city that never sleeps.

    North and South interdtates are odd numbers while interstates running East and west are even numbers. Three digit interstate identifiers mean they go in or around a bigger city, or at least a city that has funded it, if the interstate prefix is odd it goes into the city (394, 594, etc.) Interstates with a even prefix go around a city (494, 694, etc.)

  • @jerodcline9183

    As some one who lives in Omaha Nebraska, and occasionally drives to Lincoln Ne, and Chicago Illinois. Good luck with no speed limit laws. We can’t even get driver to stay right except to pass. It’s the most aggravating thing about driving in this area(Kansas is good though). And all the people who drive 5 mph under in the far left lane. Iowa even worse. While Nebraskas law suggests to stay right except to pass, I believe Iowa has no law about respecting the fast lane. So if you ever see an Idiot Out Wondering Around (i.o.w.a).... it’s because they don’t understand how highway works. They might have connected the country, but it a way, we’re still fairly isolated.

    It's been 65 years since Eisenhower developed the Interstate Highway System. What's your tribute to it's anniversary?
    "This highway system may grow the nation like how Germany did their Autobahn system and other European nations did their own highway system for not only to save time and grow the nation, but to help get the advantage. I'm impressed with their design and how they link through cities and towns and give scenic nature and skylines. Overall, this is a useful highway system for going coast to coast and border to border and I'm thankful to that."
