 Driving Interstate Highways
The direction of an interstate is determined not by its local direction, but by the starting and ending points of the entire interstate.
For one and two digit interstates whose numbers are odd, the lower the number the further west the highway is. For even numbered interstates, the lower the number the further south the highway is (this follows the same direction rules exit numbers and mileposts do).
When interstate exits are marked with the exit numbers based on mileposts (see previous Mile Number Exits), the exits numbers for both directions are ALWAYS the same.
