Why did the Georgia DOT skip available (I-385, I-585, and I-785) with already taken I-185? They spiked all the way to nine. :confused: :confused:

I put it in the correct place for you.
If I had to guess: because 385 and 585 were used in South Carolina, and 785 might potentially be confused with 185 in handwriting?

This. I-785 would probably also not be good to have in the same general area as I-75, especially since I-75 and I-85 share roadway in Atlanta.
The even digit bypasses of I-85 are also numbered to avoid unnecessary duplication in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.

That didn't stop the US 53 / WI 35 / I-535 fun in Superior, WI. :D

Georgia DOT didn't have a say in Wisconsin's road decisions; possibly still don't, but not sure.

Just saying the concern about number confusion doesn't always prevent...number confusion.

Last time I checked, there was I-285 in GA, I-485 and I-885 in NC, and future I-685 in AL, but nothing in SC, as far as even I-x85s go. Also, I-185 and I-285 have already been duplicated.

I-185, 385 and 585 are signed routes in South Carolina, all in the Greenville-Spartanburg area.

I know that already. I was just pointing out that there have been no I-x85s with even prefixes, with I-485 around Charlotte being the closest.
