It would still be an exception even if it was I-895.  Like I-664, I-785 (officially VA 785 currently), the two cancelled I-795s, and the VDOT-proposed I-864, it is a number >599 that is not a secondary route. 

VDOT explicitly recognizes interstate designations above 599 as exceptions.  See the bottom of page 2 of the 2003 route log

I understand exceptions for interstates as they’re not state issued numbers. Just like in New Jersey, 600 series numbers are for intra county route numbers. Yet I-676 exists as it’s an interstate not in the NJ numbering convention.

If a simple route number causes you such angst, I’d hate to see your reaction if you saw the mile markers on that road.

I’m not angry. Just wondering if VDOT had a numbering scheme and if they broke it for a good reason. I could care less if it was VA 995 or VA 495 or whatever. I’m not like many on here who digress over I-99 being signed into law cause it’s between I-79 and I-81 or like your pal who insisted VA 28 should be I-366. :bigass:

I didn't say you were angry. I said the number seems to be causing you angst. I guess your reply #6975 suggested to me that the issue bothers you more than you're saying it actually does.

Sorry misunderstood.

Exits 133 and 130 on 95 are no longer recognizable. "WELCOME CENTER FOR VIRGINIA" will be stuck in my head for a while.
