Reusing Interstate Digits

[Lytton]

Here's one:

Interstate 88 in the West: Moline, IL to Chicago, IL

Now...In the east...

Interstate 88: Schenectady, NY to Binghamton, NY

Several two-digit numbers are shared between road segments at opposite ends of the country (I‑69, I‑74, I‑76, I‑84, I‑86, and I‑88). Some of these were due to a change in the numbering system as a result of a new policy adopted in 1973. Previously, letter-suffixed numbers were used for long spurs off primary routes; for example, western I‑84 was I‑80N, as it went north from I‑80. The new policy stated, "No new divided numbers (such as I‑35W and I‑35E, etc.) shall be adopted." The new policy also recommended that existing divided numbers be eliminated as quickly as possible; however, an I‑35W and I‑35E still exist in the Dallas—Fort Worth metroplex in Texas, and an I‑35W and I‑35E that run through Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota, still exist.[33]

And what's up with I-435?

[NE2]

Holy shit US 2

[InterstateNG]

There are multiple I-275's.  Mind.  Blown. 

Don't people get them confused?

There's multiples of most 3dis (e.g. 405 in LA, Portland, and Seattle metros), so they're sorted by state (or states, in the case of I-205 in Portland/Vancouver, WA).

[InterstateNG]

Look up.

[Alps]

Whoa. I-435 and I-470 are the SAME ROAD.

There are two NJ 440s. Holy shit, I can't handle it. I need to punch a kitten.

Alanland has fifteen AL 15s. None of them are signed as AL 15.

I would like to see Florida's Turnpike use I-91.  It's already FL 91 internally.

Imagine that, a Southern I-91!

It makes no sense to me why they never did this with US 10. Also, WA 99 has a north and south section, ever since a middle section on Tukwila International Boulevard was decommissioned (which was a stupid thing to do).

[InterstateNG]

Talk about your honeypots.

Holy shit.

[Takumi]

look at all those I-74s

[jp the roadgeek]

Two NY 42's, and only about 10 miles apart.  And 2 NY 17's, near Waverly, only about 1 mile apart

[Alps]

look at all those I-74s

And I-465s.

Probably I-86 in the east would be the best case of reuse because it was first designated along what is now I-84 from Hartford, CT to Southbridge, MA back when I-84 was slated to go east along the current US 6 corridor to Providence, RI.

Years after it being dropped was re-given to the NY 17 Freeway in NYS to be used once again.

This is a great use of a re-used number as it fits the grid.

look at all those I-74s

Only two are real, the rest are illusionary*.

*In Alanland.

When I lived in Illinois, I came so close many times to getting on the wrong I-88.  That would have severly affected my trip times into and out of the city.

[3467]

I still live in Illinois and only once did i end up in Albany................oh wait I was on i-87 not 88 then ...I must have really been lost.

[agentsteel53]

I get confused on I-88 as well. 

I also get confused on I-44, I-77, etc.

all those digits look the same.  I wish they wouldn't reuse digits in numbers.

I was very happy when they renumbered US-666.

[jeffandnicole]

That's nothing.  There's 3 or 4 I-95's in NJ alone.

[PHLBOS]

US 2

There are two NJ 440s.

There's also a couple of US 422s in PA
