Since control cities seem to be a hot topic, how about this?
What cities are controls for one route, but not another that passes through/nearby or otherwise serves it?
Two examples:
Evansville -- yes for I-69, no for I-64.
Wytheville -- yes for I-77, no for I-81.
(Former example: Dayton -- yes for I-75, formerly no for I-70).
The best examples would probably be found in places that serve as interstate crossroads, such as Cambridge, Ohio; Washington, Pa.; Statesville, NC; and the aforementioned Wytheville, Va.
Springfield: yes for I-91, sporadic for I-90
Syracuse: yes for I-81, no for I-90

I-81 uses Wytheville.
I-95 uses Richmond, skipping Petersburg, though I-85 uses Petersburg.
Lodi - yes for I-76, no for I-71 :bigass:

Also, Corning:
Yes for US 15/I-99
Yes for I-390 (which doesn't even go to Corning)
No for I-86 (which
does go to Corning, but uses Binghamton).

I know you're probably not being entirely serious, but I would argue that Lodi is the control for US 224, not I-76.
I-64 is to going through Evansville like I-80 is to going through Chicago and Cleveland.
Both New Stanton & Breezewood: Yes for I-70, no for I-76 (with one exception (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.2264654,-79.6099639,3a,75y,137.71h,90.05t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sUZyWuHHvsOTZtddduQoamQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?hl=en))

Wow, I was so focused on eastbound that I forgot about westbound.
For consistency's sake, I'd support both of those changes. And I hope Erie does replace Jamestown, which was never particularly relevant.
Portage WI - control city for US-51, WI-16, and WI-33, but not for I-39.

I-81 is all over the place. Sometimes it's Roanoke and Bristol, other times it's intermediate towns, then sometimes Wytheville is used.
Here's an example - https://www.google.com/maps/@36.9150287,-81.273432,3a,40.8y,18.06h,85.77t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sIrYfHLwt_kjPFNJO8gkvMQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!5m1!1e1
IMO it should just be solely Roanoke and Bristol, and nothing else. Even Bristol is questionable. Knoxville and Roanoke.
I like the fact Maryland uses "Roanoke" and skips over the intermediate sized cities (20,000 - 40,000 population), like Martinsburg, Winchester, Harrisonburg, Staunton, and focuses on a long-distance, more sizable city with a metro population of over 300,000. Far more of importance and recognition than those others, and certainly than the small towns.
Hell, if it's proper, go "Harrisburg" north of Roanoke, with the other cities (Staunton, Harrisonburg (that would be interesting), Winchester, Martinsburg, Hagerstown, Chambersburg) as "intermediate" control cities.

Maybe in that instance, a smaller control city could be appropriate. But who knows. They'll never change.

Huh? Rocky Mount is the control point for US 64 in the Raleigh area and as far east as Tarboro. I know that it is referenced on a mileage sign east of Williamston. If you mean when I-87 is completed Hampton Roads BGSs should not use Rocky Mount as their choice of a control city, then I definitely agree.

I think Wytheville is important for I-77 as it breaks apart from I-81 and goes to WV from there, it doesn't really matter for I-81 anyways.

I suppose I should've specified I was referring to northbound.
It's used at that point since it's close as an intermediate control, I'll give you that, though mainly it's Richmond for I-95.
Compared to I-85 on the other hand, Petersburg is consistently used.

Typical Illinois. They tend to use supplemental destinations on intersecting roads instead of the main control cities found at interstate-to-interstate interchanges.
80 which interchanges 88 has Chicago while 88 has Sterling. Later Chicago appears and in fact appears on on the mileage sign as 155 miles. It's 166 via 80.
