If you're interested in some of the behind-the-scenes of this video, I talked about them here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4_bqGqb4LQ

"I already cut so many from the script, you wouldn't believe it..." Grey, you made a 21-minute video explaining why one particular detail didn't make it into a 9-minute video and gave you sleepless nights for the better part of a year. We believe it.

My Dadâs a truck driver. It amazed me that he could plan a cross-country road trip without even looking at a map. That sneak had a cheat code the whole time!
-
I like how the DOT or department of transportation just sits in the back of the car with them.
-
I drove truck for about 7 years. I learned this code early on by myself without anyone showing me. I memorized where each highway was and how many miles were in each state I also drove in Canada, and memorized those, too. It's been so many years ago I just remember some of it but remember all the interstate numbers and where they are. I miss those days.
-
My 3 year old has recently become obsesed with all the 'big roads' that we drive on an their names and numbers, thanks for making this video so I can keep up the illusion that dad knows about everything!
-
I'm so lucky to be living in Australia. All I need to remember is that if I dive in any direction long enough I run the risk of dying in the middle of nowhere.
-
My dad explained all of this to me when I was learning to drive, and it gave me enough of a basic understanding of Kansas City's geography that if I could only get to a highway I always knew where I was. We used I-70 every day.

As someone from Minneapolis who was annoyed simply that 35W was considered the "exit" off I-35 from the South whereas 35E was the continuation, 35W (Minneapolis) and 35E (Saint Paul) were definitely named to not be bypasses. The rivalry is real!
-
The 35E/35W finally makes sense! This was fun
-
I think the 805 in San Diego legitimizes the â05 in our heartsâ part. Itâs an interstate minor, so it has three digits; it starts in an even number, so it diverges from and reconnects to a major; but that major is the 5, so its last two digits have to be â05.â

5:50 - I-90 in New York has a âcomplete setâ of auxiliary interstates, there is an I-190 through I-990 in the state. Also, I-238 was numbered as such because, at the time, I-80 in California also had a âcomplete setâ of auxiliary Interstates and they didnât want to cause confusion by duplicating numbers within the state, so it was just numbered after the original highway, CA-238.
-
0:09 Props to you for using the actual constellations there. Attention to detail!
-
As a twin cities resident, I can say with authority that: Yes the E & W designations are there to keep the peace between the fragile egos of the state's largest city, Minneapolis, and the state capital, St. Paul. However, since the exit numbers on 35E remain consistent with the rest of I35s numbers, while 35Ws exits start at 1 and end around 20, its clear that 35W is the bypass.
-
As a Pennsylvanian I appreciate the shout out to I-99.
-
You know, this knowledge may actually be very helpful for geoguessr...
-
Fellow Long Islander here. As soon as you explained the even number rule, I was trying to figure out how the LIE got 495 moniker. Fantastic video and I will always remember this when driving on that pothole riddled hell scape.
-
I love how Grey consistently makes videos about topics I didn't even know were topics before and manages to make the most seemingly "boring" fact into something whimsical and entertaining! :3
-
This seems overly complicated. Here in Australia, we simplify matters by just not having roads at all :P
-
I-238 is on the road bed of a California highway. When this important connecting highway was incorporated into the Interstate system it kept the same number. The original CA-238 was longer. Only the part between I-580 and I-880 was converted into an Interstate. The rest remains as CA-238. Yes every state has its own system of highways with it'd own system of numbering.
