Rocky Mount - I-95 yes US-64 (future I-87) No.
Rocky Mount is most definitely used on both US-64 and I-95.

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.

Lodi - yes for I-76, no for I-71  :bigass:

sry, just picking a low-hanging fruit in my state.

This one is so low that it's in a bog:

Meriden - Yes for I-691, no for I-91
If we're including 3dis too, then...

Clayton - yes for I-170, no for I-64

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-95 uses Richmond, skipping Petersburg, though I-85 uses Petersburg.

I-95 uses Petersburg, examples:

Not many NB but at least a couple:

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.

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.
Late response to the OP: I thought I had seen I-64 with the "Evansville"  control posted. I know it is at the IL 1 exit near the Wabash River: https://goo.gl/maps/9Bm5TDxHq6s6ekkPA

I think IDOT uses it as the EB Secondary control between Mount Vernon and the Wabash River

Typical Illinois. They tend to use supplemental destinations on intersecting roads instead of the main control cities found at interstate-to-interstate interchanges.
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

3467

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.
