You thought they were just random?

Well, I knew there was probably a system, but this IS the US government we're talking about.

I'll buy a map with my new credit card and I'll let you know.

B, do you know how interstates/highways are numbered?

dad wrote:B, do you know how interstates/highways are numbered?

Something, something, east to west?
Something, something, north to south?
Something, something even numbers and odd numbers?

You mean the Interstate numbers or the mile markers.

Because I know the mile markers count down to zero as I drive from Ohio to North Carolina.

I wish they always counted down to the state borders, no matter which way you were driving.

I can't be the only one that always wants to know how much further until the next state.

That's how we do it (north-to-south). Are there really states that go continuously from one to the next? Bonkers.

Even two digit interstates go east/west, odds go north/south. When you add a leading, third digit, whether it's even or odd means it's either cutting through a metro area or going around it, I think.

The third leading digit system is flawed as fuck though, because development.

Not anymore. They adopted some sort of randomization system in 2011.

US orders seem to be working through.

I got more than one back in the fall - purchased one in October, and one in November. The October set is showing as 'shipped' by PJ, but not by UPS. The November set still 'processing'. I live in 52404 zip.

It was confirmed on the Pit today that they have actually shipped some copies, but only international so far.
