I-17 is not the only interstate using the metric system. There is a two mile stretch of I-265 in Louisville near the Kentucky Truck Plant that also uses metric numbers for the distance to the next exit

I’ll add some Interstate weirdness: I-65 starts in the Central Time Zone, crosses into the Eastern Time Zone, then back into Central Time again! I-90 passes by 4 MLB stadiums: Fenway Park (Red Sox), Progressive Field (Guardians), Guaranteed Rate Field (White Sox), then finally T-Mobile Park (Mariners).

Nothing weirder than I-70 in Breezewood, PA!

I-26 actually resumes its non-future journey at the bridge for Exit 13 north of Asheville, still in NC. You can see on street view there a future sign southbound, and standard Interstate northbound. Same signage on the ramps.

Congratulations for completing your interstate series! It is so awesome looking back at the weirdest part of each interstate!

The week you started using a better mic, I probably didn't notice. But with this compilation, the changeover is dramatic. Thanks for upgrading!

I have a special place in my heart for I-77, as it goes thru my hometown here in WV. I've traveled from Cuyahoga Falls, OH to Mt Airy, NC. This is also my go-to route to get to Pigeon Forge, TN, via 77, 81, and then 40

This episode is weird because every interstate is weird although In the higher number interstate there are less weird things

I don't know if you're looking for ideas for roads to cover, but if you are, some potential ideas may be state run highways like the Florida Turnpike or California route 99.

Great summary of your entire outstanding series to this point! For the I-85 weirdness clip, I think you should have chosen the spot in NC between Lexington and Greensboro where I-85 crosses over itself to have a common rest area in the median, designed to be accessible from the right instead of the left.

I-H73 & I-H74 UPDATES: Both highways will use elon musk’s spacex rocket to reach the moon, similar to how US 9 & 10 use ferries. Limon and Lyman will each have their own launch sites, one for I-H73 & one for I-H74, the rockets will each go to the ISS where all passengers will have to get off and board the The 73/74 space shuttle. From there, I-H73 & 74 will continue as one space shuttle to the moon. From there the routes will split up only to meet each other at the American flag.

Got anything on the shortest interstate in the system I-180 in Illinois. I’ve driven it. I think it was supposed to connect I80 to Peoria but never materialized. Pretty poorly maintained to say the least!

Love the videos, I want to see a worst control city for each interstate highway video next. East St Louis, Limon, Rolla, Bellefonte, and more!

Isn’t I-55 the only interstate highway that crosses the Mississippi River twice? I couldn’t find any other that does so, but I may be mistaken.

I always love the audible disgust whenever Limon is mentioned.

Love this channel. I've watched all the videos and have enjoyed them. For future ideas - pick one major highway in each country such as Hwy 401 in Ontario M1 in the UK A6 in France A1 in Italy E1 in Japan Hwy 1 in South Korea N1 in South Africa and so on. All of these are long enough compared to US interstates and I think the comparisons would be more interesting than doing some 3dis or longer non-interstate highways in the US. Thanks for your work in completing the major interstates. It's quite impressive.

In order to get to Big Bone Lick, KY... you have to go through Beaver Lick, KY. Beaver Lick surrounds Big Bone Lick on I-71. As it should!

I 40 is also weird where it ends in North Carolina. It seems to randomly turn into US 117/NC 132 when you get to Wilmington. After about 5 miles or so you reach a stoplight where you have to turn if you want to stay on either highway. Otherwise it randomly turns into US 421 South which takes you to some beaches before ending at Fort Fisher.

93 is also part of the big dig! It’s got a long tunnel section in Boston 😊

I have enjoyed viewing all your videos! My personal choice for Weirdest Interstate is I-70, because of Limon…Limon…LIMON!!!

I didn’t think HAWAII would actually make it in here

Another weird thing about I-35 is that it has traffic signals at both termini.

video suggestion control city freak out of context

I-40 East begins in Barstow, CA with a mileage sign for the other end of the route: Wilmington, NC (2,554mi). There used to be a similar sign in Wilmington, but it was stolen multiple times and NCDOT decided to stop replacing it (the Barstow sign has also been stolen in the past).

I-11 now officially makes it in and through Las Vegas concurrent with US 95. It ends at the intersection with NV It just isn't signed yet. Until the signage is changed the plan is to keep maps showing concurrency with I-515. See Rand McNally 2024 Road Atlas.

Kind of surprised you didn't mention the Wrong-Way Concurrency with I-77/I-81 in Virginia.

In your short segment on I-78, I'm surprised that you didn't mention the portion that goes through Jersey City, NJ, where it has several traffic lights between the Holland Tunnel and the New Jersey Tpke. (I-95).

Great and funny video Todd!!! I liked this one, I found it funny that the strangest thing about my interstate I-20 is that while it may not be geographically the Southernmost interstate, it is the most South one, along with I-85. Keep on trucking with these Control City Freak videos Todd!!! :) 👍

Great job Todd! I have been watching since the start. An idea for future topics...future interstates/possible interstates (i.e. CA 58 upgraded to I-40 or a New England Expressway into upstate New York north of Albany) and then you could discuss what the Control Cities should be.

My laundry list of exit requests for I-41: 1) Exit 113 (especially for southbound) for WI-26. When I lived in Rosendale, this is the exit I would take when coming from Green Bay/Appleton/Oshkosh. Also, for southbound, please mention that if heading to Madison from Green Bay/Appleton/Oshkosh, it's quicker to take WI-26 to US-151 than taking I-41 to US-151 in Fond du Lac. 2) Exit 139 onto WI-15. This is the closest exit to where I live currently. 3) Exit 134b) onto US-10 West. This is the quickest way home for me when I'm in Neenah. 4) Exit 120 (especially for northbound) for US-45 to US-10. Quickest way to Steven's Point/Wausau from Oshkosh is this exit.

I think future interstate 3 is weird if it will connect between Savannah Georgia on the East Coast. I-3 should be located between I-5 and the West Coast in California for the correct pattern grid. Since I-65 and I-69 through I-99 has been used as of odd number interstates which goes north-south routes. The only odd number interstate number are not available are: I-63 or I-67 and it make more sense, especially between Augusta Georgia and Savannah Georgia.

Todd, if I could come up to Kansas to shake your hand or give you a hug, I would. Job well done covering these highways my friend and I got a couple of their friends to watch your channel as well. Thank you Todd for all that you've done and I look forward to seeing what you'll be covering next. *gives Todd a long standing ovation*

Great way to end a series is with a compilation. I enjoyed it as much as the next guy. Hope you enjoy your time off. Can’t wait for what you have planned next. 😄

i-11 actually goes to Las Vegas now

Every interstate is weird indeed, lol. It would be cool to see the best and worst control cities on every interstate as video ideas

I’m surprised I-69 running east-west between Lansing and Port Huron wasn’t included. Also, I-29 for being known for being close to state borders throughout it’s run

Great video Todd! It was a bit of a blast from the past. I’ve been watching since I-24, and enjoyed watching a compilation of all the videos you’ve made so far. Keep up the great work!

I-26 is getting a new bridge across the French Broad river to bring it up to interstate standards in that area

You’re the GOAT of Interstate Highways!!

If we'll be getting videos like this every once in a while or so interspersed with highway videos, then I'm here for it! I can't watch it in full at this very moment but you can bet your tushy that I cannot wait to get back home from work to be able to do so! Keep on trucking Todd :)

I 25 has another quirk: It runs through three of the worst control city states. Maybe by 2024 you can do a video going down every freeway and/or toll road in Denver. For obvious reasons. :)

So I wonder, when I-57 finally connects to US-67, will the Control City be Little Rock?

I-41 has the weirdest southern ending. Why is it duplexed with 94 down to the Illinois state line? It's southern end should be at the zoo interchange.

Despite running between the PA Turnpike and I-80, this segment of I-99 is disconnected from the interstate system. Because of the PTC's aversion to connecting to freeways, I-99 ends shortly before you reach the turnpike and you have to go on a surface road before you hit the turnpike. This has existed ever since the US 220 bypass of Bedford was completed long before I-99. At the north end, the freeway portion ends about a half-mile from I-80. Though, PennDOT is working on a direct interchange on this end. I grew up in Bloomsburg, PA, so having it as a control city on I-80 is nice. The problem with I-80 in PA is that it doesn't pass by any city with over 50,000 people. Hazleton is the largest one mentioned with approximately 30,000 residents. State College is not a control city but has 40,000 plus the Penn State students. Really, the most logical choices are Ohio and NYC. But, I guess PennDOT wanted to have PA control cities. BTW, I-80 near Youngstown, OH has NYC as a control city which 80 does not quite reach and totally ignores PA and NJ! Also, even though mileage-based numbering has been used on 80 since the late 2000s, I had over 30 years of the sequential system. Even now, I still remember more of the sequential numbers than the mileage ones. Even in areas that have always been mileage-based, I have trouble remembering exit numbers. The ones that I remember the best are the 1 and 2 digit ones. To be a little fair to the PTC, the part of the turnpike where the I-95 now exists was completed in 1954 which is two years before the interstate highway act was passed. That’s no excuse. In Wisconsin, that sign with 41-43-894 may have been a carbon-copy replacement. I-894 existed long before 43, let alone 41. With 41 now fully multiplexed with 894, the 894 designation could be dropped.

I have really enjoyed following your journey on KZfaq.. I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with next now that you have ‘finished’ the series.. Keep it up bud!

Believe me when I say the I-29/I-80 dual freeway is absolutely not overbuilt.

The weirdest interstate interchange to me is Atlanta 75/85 split. Many lanes, including HOV lanes that continue through to 75. It’s one of the busiest I guess. But the crazy thing is when it was built they had 75 which goes to Chattanooga on the right which looks like it’s going to Greenville by sense of direction and 85 which to Greenville looks like it would go to Chattanooga. Then in the 1980s when they rebuilt it completely and had a chance to fix it they left it the same confusing way. The overhead signs toward Greenville have arrows that are about a 30° angle like I’ve never seen anywhere. I’ve been going that way 59 years and nearly make the mistake any time I go a few years without going through there. Also originally 75 didn’t have nearly the capacity of 85, but now they’re north busy 24/7. Anyway I know they will never fix it now.

I didnt realize the Limon references started with I-27 (or even sooner 🤷‍♂) but either way, 6:57 had me laughing

I personally have also disliked ordinal/sequential exit numbering ever since I got my first taste of what it was like in Georgia on I-85; I thought, when I saw Exit 59, it would be a quick little jaunt through Georgia, and then into Alabama; nope! Exit 59 was the last of 59 sequential exits for 180 miles. It was the same in Florida, when I was on I-95 in the Sunshine State; I saw Exit 130, and did not realize that Florida actually runs for 380 miles. Fortunately, both saw the light, and both are mileage-based now.

The dumbest Limon sign. Now that is impressive!!

Todd, I saw the Big Bone Lick State Park sign on I-75/I-71. The stretch of I-71 from the end of the I75/I71 split south to Louisville is under a lot of construction. It was almost like 75 miles of speedbumps.

Can you do Canadian highways in Ontario (built to interstate standards)??

I think that I-238 in California is weird for one mile, it should have stayed as CA-238 in Ashland between I-880 and I-580, and besides there is no parent of I-38. In Western Kentucky Parkway it should be I-50 or I-54 which connect between the junction of I-69 & I-169 near Nortonville Kentucky and I-65 in Elizabethtown Kentucky for 95 miles instead of I-569. Not only that, Western Kentucky Parkway should have better shoulder, more interchanges near bigger towns and smaller cities to qualified as an interstate highway.

Why does 49 only get a city name? The discontinuity in Shreveport is very weird

A good one for I-4 could have been that it’s one of the only primary interstates that is at least six lanes throughout its entire length

Colorado has said that they dont want another interstate so i27 is going to New Mexico via Raton

please do the AA Highway between Grayson, KY and Newport, KY, this is the main route that westbound I-64 traffic takes to get to the Cincinnati area.

Good day Todd. Like you know, I'm no longer trapped in Illinois. So this is my first comment from NW Arkansas.

What about Atlantic City expressway or garden state parkway in NJ? They dont have interstate numbers but could be interesting to do

Im hoping the extension to the "ports to plains corridor" follows loop 335 around Amarillo, the last thing the highway system needs is trying to send all those extra trucks and travelers through downtown.

@ControlCityFreak What in your opinion, is the least irregular two-digit interstate? (Can’t say normal since none of them are!) For me, most irregular are both I-86s, “I-87”, I-97, and I-99. Solutions to delete these: I-86 East: Make it into a turnpike. I-86 West: Auxiliary route of I-15 or I-84. “I-87” and I-97. Have 97 extended north up MD I-895 to its junction with 95, and south over the bay bridge, through the eastern shore around Salisbury, where there will be a spur north to Wilmington DE, then south over the Chesapeake Bridge/Tunnel, have 97 be concurrent with 64 until it hits US 13, have 97 follow/replace “87” until Raleigh, or send 97 south to Wilmington, Myrtle Beach, and Charleston, replacing 140 and 526, with “87” and 587 acting as new spur routes of 97. I-99: Make it into a turnpike like 86 east. Also congrats on finishing the series! I have been watching your content since I-81, and it was great watching your channel’s evolution over this compilation!

Too bad you didn’t come through Kansas City because we have four major interstates that converge in what is known locally as the “Exit Alphabet Soup” exits of the downtown Kansas City, Mo. loop. What a mess that is if you are not from the Kansas City area. The downtown loop tends to shoot people in all kinds of new and interesting directions they never knew existed. Topeka, Wichita, Des Moines, St Louis, St Joseph and Joplin, what a choice of places to go, not to mention all the local exits in the downtown loop. It’s funny, but they never tell you how to get to the Airport from downtown.

Great work, Todd. Hoping that somewhere down the line that we get your take on the Long Island Expressway, a fairly long 3-digit (I-495) interstate that goes through some uniquely named NYC suburbs.... 🚘

Yes, I-83 in Baltimore is sequential

We are New Hampshire, Live Free or Die. We don't mandate seatbelt usage nor motorcycle helmet usage. What makes you think that we are going to follow most of the rest of the country and change to milage based exits? I don't believe Vermont nor Massachusetts does milage based exits either. You HAVE to drive through Franconia Notch in NH it is absolutely gorgeous. It's one one of my favorite places in the state. What you will really find weird are the rope barriers blocking the shoulder. Franconia Notch is the gateway to some of the best hiking in the state and people have a habit of parking on the side of the road. The forget that it is I93.

I love all your videos I listen to them everyday!

We living here in and around West Virginia and in Wheeling we have the weirdest part of I70 that as it approaches the tunnel we have here both sides of the interstate for approximately one fourth of a mile goes to only one lane in each direction.

I was laughing at your Las Vegas,NM street view. Looks more like NORTH Las Vegas,NV! I know, I live there and eastern North Las Vegas is a trash heap.

Better than mileage based exits, kilometer based exits. We've had plenty of time to make the switch, let's get with the program already.

Are we just going to forget that Alaska has Interstate Highways when you just did Hawaii?

As Truck driver and Equipment operator, I enjoyed this video!

If you ever make any merch you should have it say Limon, Limon, Limon

The next road that should be done is US Route 1. Think I-95 was fun, US 1 is even cooler. You could even do a special version with just the Overseas Highway in the Florida Keys. You could spend a month or longer on US 1. Please do that. Love this channel and love this series.

As someone who started following around Interstate 70, this is a really good recap haha

On your US-52 video, can you show Exit 97 on US-52/I-285/NC-8 in North Carolina? Not only is it my home exit, it's home to Richard Childress Racing, famous for winning 7 Nascar championships with Dale Earnhardt!

I'd be interested to hear your opinions about US highways that are mostly controlled-access or divided highways for long periods within a state, like US-20 in Iowa, US-69/Overland Parkway in Kansas, or US-30 in Indiana.

Im honesty kinda sad that you finished covering all the interstates (for now) but thanks for the content, Todd!

Wondering if you could go back and cover some of the lower-numbered interstates again in HQ?

Woohoo! Every iconic series needs a clip show!

Woohoo! I got to drive on that interstate triplex at 8:05 from Elgin to Minneapolis on my way back to Northern California. I recommend the mustard museum west of Madison just off of US 14.

I 690 has a traffic control device added during the New York State fair

I-180 in Cheyenne Wyoming.

I-74 if its ever complete will be the strangest considering how far south it'll go. All of the proposed sections from west virgnia on down shouldve just been I-73

One thing you missed was the North-South/South-North concurrency on I-77 and I-81 around Wytheville, VA

Great channel! Here are a few other odd quirks of some interstates that I know off the top of my head... I 40 has some unsigned entrance and exit points controlled by stop signs near the Tennessee North Carolina state border in the mountain pass. I 85 crosses over itself in North Carolina near a veterans memorial rest area. I 85 also has 2 full freeway business routes. One in Spartanburg South Carolina and one in Greensboro North Carolina. Both were once mainline I 85 but were bypassed. I 585 in Spartanburg South Carolina is not only one of a few orphaned 3 digit interstates, but it also has at grade intersections controlled by traffic lights. There is a state freeway in South Carolina that is meant to become part I 73 for Myrtle Beach. It will probably never connect to North Carolina because of lack of funding. Keep up the great content! Maybe do a "Todd Ranks the Limons/Lymans" April fool's video?

It will be interesting to see you start on the 3 digit interstates.....

My favorite has to be I-81

I thought you would have mentioned I 96 and I 69 were the only palindromic freeways to be concurrent as the weird oddity for I 96 instead of it being the highest numbered 2di until the late 90s

I think every highway system has its oddities...

I thought of a video idea. What makes a good or bad control city.

I look forward to more video from this channel

Thank you for a video highlighting your inconsistencies!

You will be missed my interstate hero! 😭🥺😢

Do Alaska next

A good highway would be San Jose ca to Denver beacuse there is no staright route And the current route you have to go south toi 15 and then go on a few other freeways

Wonder which is the longest distance control city. CCF mentioned Memphis being signed in Chicago and since the Miami sign is gone in Virginia, maybe that's it?

If you get around to US 52 I have a simple intersection for you. Show the intersection of IL 84/IL 64/US 52 in Savanna, IL where the mcdonalds is at. This is the only stoplight in carroll county which us 52 runs the entire county east to west.

When you do US 52, can you show: Where US 64 meets 52 Where US 158 meets 52 The concurrency of US 401 and 52 The reason why I’m asking is because I did a video on 64, 401, and 158 and would like you to share those videos with everyone. It Doesn’t matter which one you choose. Thanks!

Regarding the "End I-8" sign -- Technically, it's the only interstate in California that ends at a level intersection with a surface street (Sunset Cliffs Blvd) rather than flowing into another highway. Even I-10 ends where the ramps to Lincoln Blvd split off from the Santa Monica Freeway. That freeway continues west for another half-mile or so as CA-1 before flowing into PCH. (Also, the section of I-8 west of I-5 was originally numbered as CA-109, so it wasn't intended to be part of the Interstate system.)

I-29 , I-95 & I-5 All end at Borders (Idk i could be wrong?)
