I got an itch, so:

<100 mi         77
100-199 mi   73
200-299 mi   45
300-399 mi   28
400-499 mi   10
500-599 mi   2
600-699 mi   1
700-799 mi   1
800+ mi         1


Notes:
- this includes the Hawaii interstates but not the Alaska or Puerto Rico ones
- this does not include I-69's very unfinished pieces south of KY due to it not being determinate how long they may eventually be.
- this does not include proposed sections of interstate where nothing within the state is yet signed (e.g. I-11 AZ)
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

I-20 in Texas is 636.08 miles. Otherwise, the addition of I-15 to the 400 mile club is correct.

Quote from: I-55 on April 13, 2025, 09:39:41 PMThe correct question is "if ARDOT hasn't signed it, why does Google show it?" and the answer as usual is "because Google Maps signs stuff incorrectly all the time"

OK yeah I had I-15 UT categorized in 300-399 based on the last exit being 398 and it being less than 2 miles from the state line. 'Lil rounding error messes with that.
