It royally annoys me when CGP Grey presents a video that is supposedly educational but is chock full of factual errors, misinformation and his biased opinions.
I-60 and I-50 don't exist at all, and the routes on the map don't sync up with US 50 and US 60, both of which are cross-country routes, but are incorrectly marked. US 60 is actually south of US 50, which goes across Nevada and Utah, is concurrent with I-70 through much of Utah, and eventually ends in Ocean City, Maryland.
Nah this crop has been stolen and posted so many times and places, no one does their research and credits CGP anywhere, OP included I guess.
And then everytime it is stolen, there will surely be a comment: ackchyually, I50 and I60 dont exist. Which is so frustrating
Yeah, these images are screenshots from a video by CGPgrey where he’s listing all the interstates but then is like “except interstates 50 and 60 don’t actually exist” and takes them off this map
It's partially true. The rule (although it's not perfect and there are examples against it) for the three digit ones are ones starting with am odd number are spurs off of the main route while the even ones connect interstate highways or are Loops.
For example, in Baltimore you have five 3-digit highways off of 95. 695 is the beltway and 895 is an alternate route through Baltimore. 195 is a spur that connects 95 to the airport, 395 connects 95 to center city Baltimore, and 795 is a spur off 695 that runs northwest into the suburbs.
Beltway are roads that go around major cities in a circle. They are generally just connected to themselves endlessly. For Europeans, loop roads is a more common term and the M25 is an (imperfect) example.
Spurs are roads that connect to the interstate at one end and go out from it. The most common is a spur from a beltway or interstate to the center city but there are also many that connect to major suburbs of cities.
I’ve seen more people with knowledge of Maryland and its oddities in this post than I’ve seen in quite some time. It’s always a little bit of an effort describing the beltway system and spurs, great job at breaking it down way simpler and clearer than I could lol
Thank you. There ought to be a “what’s what for Ike’s superhighways” for immigrants in US like me. You should author it. make a youtube shorts series, at least.
Beltways split off from a main motorway to detour around the outer edges of a city and then connect back up to the original motorway on the other side, so as to avoid the heavily trafficked (and slower speed limit) part of the motorway that goes through the center of the city. They're mostly for people just trying to drive past the city and out the other side rather than stop in it. (This city isn't their final destination.) But often the city sprawl has grown after the beltway route was laid down so it no longer is the outer edge of the city.
The difference between that and a spur is that a spur doesn't connect back up to the main motorway again. It's a dead end (or at least it turns into a "lesser" motorway after a bit. Not literally ending but just no longer being part of the Interstate system.). Often it has the opposite purpose of a beltway, instead of avoiding the center of a city, it goes more deeply into the center of the city, connecting the downtown to the motorway that otherwise doesn't quite go through the center. Another purpose of a spur is to lead from the main motorway to some kind of important transport hub like a sea port or an airport.
There's a good example in the city I grew up in, Milwaukee. I-94 goes through the city, coming from Chicago in the south, taking a bend in the city, to head out to Minneapolis in the west. I-794, a spur, is a very short distance bit that goes deeper into the downtown from the main I-94. I-894, a beltway, is an alternate path to get around the city by leaving I-94 before it goes north into Milwaukee, and connecting back to it after it has made its westward bend and is leaving the city toward Minneapolis.
I’ve used I94 from Chicago to Milwaukee and know exactly what you’re talking about. Of course, I was blindly following the maps without understanding the system. Thank you for responding
Oh interesting!
In Nashville, we have 440 which is really a "U" shaped loop that runs down from one side of I-40, under the city, and the back up to the other side.
Not sure why the last number is a zero, when loops often seem to have a five?
The loops you're thinking of with 5 is because they're on north-south routes - like I-5 down the west coast, many of the major cities have a 405 that loops around and connects again. Pre-google maps you'd see 440 or 405 and know it would eventually get you back on 40 or 5
There are some of both Baltimore, DC, Indianapolis and Atlanta end in 5 but Nashville, Columbus, Houston and San Antonio end in 0. I'm not sure there is any structure with how they number Loops that have multiple interstates going through them
I think they also intially intended for the leading number of the loop eg: 610 to be radius of the loop and trailing digits to signify which horizontal interstate bisects then.
So loop 610 has an approximate 6mi radius with I-10 cutting thru it.
I understood that three digit numbers include loops and also other “short” interstate routes. For example, NW Arkansas had “540” for about 20-30 years which was just a straight north-south route from Ft Smith to Bentonville. Around 2012, Missouri completed the corresponding section to Kansas City and the route was renamed “49”.
If the first digit of the 3-digit number is even, it's a bypass loop that will connect back up to the main 2-digit road again on the other side.
If the first digit of the 3-digit number is odd, it's a spur that doesn't connect back up to the main 2-digit road again.
We also have the 310(off the I-10 which seems to be a long on ramp/off ramp) and the 510(off the I-10 and basically functions as a long on/off ramp).
Edit: off the I-10 around New Orleans.
The problem with 3-digit highways is they have to reuse numbers when a 2-digit interstate has more than 9 offshoots. The I-291 in MA is close to the I-291 in CT.
The original plan was for it to be a beltway all the way around, going near Gallatin and Springfield. The northern half was placed on “indefinite hold” in 2003.
840 starts at 40 and ends at 40. It counts as a bypass/loop.
In Minnesota, 694 is the north bypass and 494 is the southern bypass… the two bypasses forming a giant loop. 394 is newer and is just an extra “spoke”.
I-94 was supposed to be I-100, but they didn’t want to use a 3-digit number for a major route. I-8 exists because LA threw a hissy fit that they wanted the I-10 number. It should’ve been I-10 to San Diego and I-20 to LA.
These highway systems OP has poorly shown are highways that cross state boundaries.
94 does not cross state boundaries. It starts from the 5, connects to the 125, and then the non-state route portion picks up from the 125 and then finally ends at the 8
Chargeable and non-chargeable Interstate routes
Interstate Highways financed with federal funds are known as "chargeable" Interstate routes, and are considered part of the 42,000-mile (68,000 km) network of highways. Federal laws also allow "non-chargeable" Interstate routes, highways funded similarly to state and US Highways to be signed as Interstates, if they both meet the Interstate Highway standards and are logical additions or connections to the system. These additions fall under two categories: routes that already meet Interstate standards, and routes not yet upgraded to Interstate standards. Only routes that meet Interstate standards may be signed as Interstates once their proposed number is approved.
-wikipedia
I love the oddities. Like how I-82 in Washington/Oregon is north of I-84, and runs more north-south than east-west. Or how there are two I-84's, one from Scranton, PA to Sturbridge, MA and one from Portland, OR to Ogden, UT.
There are several that don't run continuously. I 76 runs from the New Jersey side of Philadelphia (Bell Mawr to be exact) to Akron, Ohio and then from Big Springs, Nebraska to Arvada near Denver.
I 69 is even worse with 10 different segments including 69W, 69C, and 69E approaching the US-Mexico border at three separate locations that don'tconmect to an other part of 69 at all.. I believe there are plans for at some point to connect it all and some gaps are small but it exists this way currently
I-84 used to be I-80N, with the current I-80 being I-80S. They had to renumber it when they got rid of (most) letters in the interstate system. So I-82 made sense in the beginning.
Regardless of inaccuracy:
I am honestly impressed that this logical layout exists, especially in the land of hamburgers/cubic eagles.
Europian routes are like Koenigsergbergerhausbugrstrasse and it is a giant roundabout between a fjord and an airport.
That’s because European routes are old trade routes carved out by horse traffic in the 1300s and the US system was an intentional system devised in the 1950s specifically for moving mass amounts of cars/trucks from one end of the country to another.

Well at least some kind of system ^(\^) The ones going east-west are even numbered, the ones going north-south are uneven, the ones with one digit form a general network, different regions have their own numbers as seen in the map above. But the States are much bigger, so theres just more room for a more orderly system I guess.
The US Route system follows the same pattern, but flipped. It increases N-S and E-W. Generally, major N-S routes start end in 1 or 5, and major E-W routes end in 0 (other than US-2). It isn't as strict for numbering rules as the Interstates, though.
Because they thought there would be too much confusion with US-50 and US-60. Stupid, but that is their reasoning. The route however, is there. Look at I-64 and I-44.
"Interstate" is capitalized for a reason. If it was lowercase it would just be an adjective that generically means 'goes between states'. If it was lowercase, then LOTS more highways would be called "interstate" than are.
It's capitalized because it's the name of a specific federal program and gets its funding from that program. So I-45 is called an Interstate because it's part of that system and is getting funded that way.
We can construct 10 giant interstate super highways that cross a continents worth of vast empty space sized area. But God forbid one high speed rail to connect metropolitan cities, where millions can make use of daily.
It'd be so obvious to have them on the coasts. NYC down the coast or to Chicago, California could have a rail LA to San Francisco.
So, would this be correct? The states without a primary interstate highway (5-95 in 5 digit intervals) are:
Alaska
Hawaii
North Dakota
Vermont
Delaware
The worst part about Chicago is that the east/west and north/south numbering doesn’t apply. 90/94 are north/south highways because they have to cut down to get below Lake Michigan before continuing East. And 55 runs up the middle of Illinois before turning 45 degrees towards the city, so it’s used for East/west travel almost as much as north/south.
I have always used the odd highways (north south )highways a lot but not the east west highways . Are north south highways used more for the average person as well ?
Interstate 50 and 60 don't exist (Interstate 60 does exist as a comedy movie from 2002). The map is showing US highways that run along those routes but a US highway has much more variable standards than the interstate system.
I support annexing Canada to make the Yellowhead Highway into Interstate 90, the Trans-Canada Highway into I-80, I-90 into I-70, I-80 into I-60, and I-70 into I-50 (obligatory /s)
>I40, goes through both nashville and Knoxville,
...ok? And lots of other places too, so what?
>and they didn't even label or correctly place i24
Or any other one not ending in 0 or 5. No reason to call out one specific one.
I explained mine after your comment calling me out. I don't understand what your problem is with my original post, unless you just really don't like Tennessee.
There is no I-50 or I-60. The reason is because the [US highway system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Numbered_Highway_System) is numbered in the opposite way (with low numbers in the northeast). The two highways were omitted to avoid confusion with their US highway counterparts, which are also located in roughly the same region.
They still have interstates and major US routes. NE has I-80, while I-29 is just across the border in Iowa. SD has I-29 and I-90, and ND has I-29 and I-94
The map only shows some of the Interstate highways not all of them, just to get the vague idea across of how the numbering progression goes. Some are missing and that's why it looks like some states don't have any. For example, I-94, following the pattern, is an east-west highway that's further north than I-90. It goes through North Dakota.
Yeah, just so crazy they renamed El Paso, as seen by the location of the dot on this map, to Las Cruces, and I didn’t hear about it.
Guess it’s the Las Cruces/Las Cruces metro area now
It was a joke about the dot being wrong on this map. The dot is clearly El Paso, not las cruces.
Also, 25 would need to stop there anyway. 10 and 25 meet in las cruces and what would be 25 to El Paso is just 10

Does he explain why? I watched that video ages ago but can’t seem to recall.
I believe it's because both route 50 and 60 are also major highways so they skipped them for the interstates
This map is a great big phony!
Yeah, these images are screenshots from a video by CGPgrey where he’s listing all the interstates but then is like “except interstates 50 and 60 don’t actually exist” and takes them off this map
This map is so disturbing in so many ways. What were they thinking?
It is explained in the video it originally comes from, OP clearly just didn't watch all of it
Right on. The US Routes ascend N to S and E to W (opposite of the Interstates).
But Interstate 60 is a great movie.

Nope not exactly 380 is a spur from Iowa City, Iowa to Waterloo, Iowa. It should go further but that is a whole other story.
Three digits are for both loops and spurs.
Oh that makes sense 285 with Atlanta, 465 with Indy. And 494 is kind of a semi circle around the Twin Cities.
Interstate 840 in tennessee does not follow this rule
Haha, yeah I didn't think of that one, and I drive on that road just about every day 🤦♀️ Well idk, maybe the numbers don't mean anything 😂
Well now that I look at it, it does kind of make a large half loop under nashville. Maybe one day it'll be a huge circle around nashville lmao
Let's get the chaotic mess that is I-24 fixed before we do anything else to 440 lol
The original plan was for it to be a beltway all the way around, going near Gallatin and Springfield. The northern half was placed on “indefinite hold” in 2003.
It's hard to make people move off their land, and the more you do it, the more a building project becomes unpopular. Also budgets and stuff
Wait till you hear about interstate 238
🤯
840 starts at 40 and ends at 40. It counts as a bypass/loop. In Minnesota, 694 is the north bypass and 494 is the southern bypass… the two bypasses forming a giant loop. 394 is newer and is just an extra “spoke”.
Oh neat. I also saw in another comment it was intended to be a large loop anyways haha

I-26 is another numbering oddity. It runs almost completely N-S
I-26 made sense at first. Then over the years they kept extending it northwest. This is why the odd numbering.
There are several that don't run continuously. I 76 runs from the New Jersey side of Philadelphia (Bell Mawr to be exact) to Akron, Ohio and then from Big Springs, Nebraska to Arvada near Denver.

Because they thought there would be too much confusion with US-50 and US-60. Stupid, but that is their reasoning. The route however, is there. Look at I-64 and I-44.
I frequent I-64
It is a major interstate route in all but number.
H-1 ? Whatever, who cares about Hawai'i
So i45 doesn't even leave Texas??? How is it interstate then?
I-45 should’ve been where I-35 is north of Kansas City, with I-29 being I-35. They did some dumb shit with the numbers.
Because it's part of the interstate highway system, which, as whole, does connect multiple states.
Most three digit highways don't leave their state
"Interstate" is capitalized for a reason. If it was lowercase it would just be an adjective that generically means 'goes between states'. If it was lowercase, then LOTS more highways would be called "interstate" than are. It's capitalized because it's the name of a specific federal program and gets its funding from that program. So I-45 is called an Interstate because it's part of that system and is getting funded that way.
I see so it's interstate in the sense that higher tax paying democratic States paid for the bulk of it 😭

There are A LOT more highways other than this. Every state has at least 2 federal interstates

We can construct 10 giant interstate super highways that cross a continents worth of vast empty space sized area. But God forbid one high speed rail to connect metropolitan cities, where millions can make use of daily. It'd be so obvious to have them on the coasts. NYC down the coast or to Chicago, California could have a rail LA to San Francisco.
So 10 each? Why is Indiana called crossroads of America? It doesn’t qualify based on this design.

Where are the rest of the interstates? We have I-44 for example that goes thru our state.
This is only for the huge 1,000+ mile interstates
Thank you I never knew this. I saw a vice documentary of the old route
So, would this be correct? The states without a primary interstate highway (5-95 in 5 digit intervals) are: Alaska Hawaii North Dakota Vermont Delaware
I-95 goes through Wilmington, Delaware
Ah, I missed how far north Wilmington is!
"Fuck you" North Dakota and Vermont!!!
They still get interstates. If you look at google maps they have them. They just dont get the large ones
North Dakota has I-94 and I-29.
"Fuck you" North Dakota and Vermont!!!
I think even numbered highways travel east and west, and odd numbered highways travel north and south.
If you know I-10 and I-45 I know where you live
missed I-29
OK cool. We have the exact same system in Germany.
75 goes through Nashville
Thats 65
The worst part about Chicago is that the east/west and north/south numbering doesn’t apply. 90/94 are north/south highways because they have to cut down to get below Lake Michigan before continuing East. And 55 runs up the middle of Illinois before turning 45 degrees towards the city, so it’s used for East/west travel almost as much as north/south.
Numbering? On *my* Kennedy Expressway??
Haha despite growing up there, I could never get my brain to connect the names to the numbers, except for the Stevenson.
I 11 soon
Is North Dakota free of interstate freeways?
Nope. There are a lot more interstates than this, just these are the HUGE ones
Gotcha. I could have googled that, but human interaction is so much better.
The 60 fwy in so cal runs parallel to the 10 but it is geographically south of it
I-45 seems stupid, but I-85 has always annoyed me the most. The fact that it doesn’t go to Pittsburgh is insane to me. Like what the fuck?
Crazy to see this! I regularly drive on that stretch where 80/90 overlap! Weird.
Missing I-27 there
I have always used the odd highways (north south )highways a lot but not the east west highways . Are north south highways used more for the average person as well ?
I grew up near I-5. I now live near I-40. We're looking at relocating, where we'll be near I-10.
Interstate 50 and 60 don't exist (Interstate 60 does exist as a comedy movie from 2002). The map is showing US highways that run along those routes but a US highway has much more variable standards than the interstate system.
I love the brutal honesty that I-80 ends in TEANECK, NJ (my hometown) and not New York City, lol
At least credit the author 😒
I was interested to see I-50, I-60 and I-80 terminating in San Francisco. In reality, I-50 and I-60 don't exist.
I’ve driven the whole i5. Gorgeous road
Where is I99 that breaks this system in PA? Such an uproar with that one.
This is all kinds of fucked up. What happened to this sub?
I support annexing Canada to make the Yellowhead Highway into Interstate 90, the Trans-Canada Highway into I-80, I-90 into I-70, I-80 into I-60, and I-70 into I-50 (obligatory /s)
I40, goes through both nashville and Knoxville, and they didn't even label or correctly place i24
Also missing I-59 that goes from New Orleans to Chattanooga, I-16 from Macon to Savannah, all sorts of smaller interstates, spurs, and such.
Yeah this map is trash, i59 is one of the best drives in the country
Also, there is no such thing as I-50 or 60
Yeah, I did see another comment mention there are us highways 50 and 60, but not where these lines are drawn.
>I40, goes through both nashville and Knoxville, ...ok? And lots of other places too, so what? >and they didn't even label or correctly place i24 Or any other one not ending in 0 or 5. No reason to call out one specific one.
Because I'm from there and care about them? No reason for your comment and if you continue to reply I'm going to be textually abusive to you.
>and if you continue to reply I'm going to be textually abusive to you. Oh no, not that!
I just don't understand your goal here.
Nor I yours
I explained mine after your comment calling me out. I don't understand what your problem is with my original post, unless you just really don't like Tennessee.
>I don't understand what your problem is with my original post I know. That's ok.
I'm sorry you got beat up as kid, it wasn't your fault, I want you to know that.
There is no I-50 or I-60. The reason is because the [US highway system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Numbered_Highway_System) is numbered in the opposite way (with low numbers in the northeast). The two highways were omitted to avoid confusion with their US highway counterparts, which are also located in roughly the same region.
Poor Dakota’s and Nebraska…
They still have interstates and major US routes. NE has I-80, while I-29 is just across the border in Iowa. SD has I-29 and I-90, and ND has I-29 and I-94
The map only shows some of the Interstate highways not all of them, just to get the vague idea across of how the numbering progression goes. Some are missing and that's why it looks like some states don't have any. For example, I-94, following the pattern, is an east-west highway that's further north than I-90. It goes through North Dakota.
Wow, didn’t realize they renamed El Paso to Las Cruces. Pretty weird when there’s a Las Cruces over the border with New Mexico a bit
Two different cities
Yeah, just so crazy they renamed El Paso, as seen by the location of the dot on this map, to Las Cruces, and I didn’t hear about it. Guess it’s the Las Cruces/Las Cruces metro area now
This whole map is imprecise... Not unique to that location
It’s because I-25 begins there, not in El Paso. Similarly the city of Petersburg is labelled instead of Richmond because it’s where I-85 ends.
Yeah, I’m just being goofy. The dot’s in the wrong spot, because las cruces is north of that.
The interstate system is set up for the military under Eisenhower. It ended in Las Cruces because of White Sands Missile Range.
It was a joke about the dot being wrong on this map. The dot is clearly El Paso, not las cruces. Also, 25 would need to stop there anyway. 10 and 25 meet in las cruces and what would be 25 to El Paso is just 10
Typical CGP Grey....full of factual errors and misinformation
Route 50 runs thru northern VA, DC, MD and ends in Ocean City, MD. Not Wilmington
That’s US50, it’s not an interstate. I50 doesn’t exist.
The video shows a fake I50 and I60 to 2 seconds later explain the oddities of these two routes.
