Quote from: PColumbus73 on January 16, 2025, 04:17:27 PMBeing on the east coast, the interstates below the 70s are fascinating. I think Illinois and Wisconsin have most interesting interstate numbers, like 39, 41, 43, 57, 72, 88.
The numbers are interesting, or the roads?

I don't see much interesting about the numbers, except that they're all roads I've never been on, since I always seem to be passing through midwest states going E/W, and 72 and 88 aren't really thru routes. The roads I've driven, 94, 90, 80, 74, 70, and 64 weren't very memorable either.

But chacun à son goût.

I'd say the numbers specifically. Living on the East Coast, I've seen a lot of the interstates in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Maybe a comparison might be when you live on a beach your whole life you don't think about it, then seeing the mountains for the first time and it's exciting. I know there's nothing really remarkable about something like I-39, I guess it's the 'ooh, ahh' of seeing it once.

You do realize that 72 and 88 are both over 70, right?
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

Quote from: Big John on January 17, 2025, 12:24:24 AM^^ I thought the Pennsylvania Turnpike was Interstate 76.

Yeah, but not throughout. I would count the Turnpike as a separate entity, as not only does it have multiple route designations (although the majority is I-76), but it is also significantly older than I-76 as well as the Interstate System.
