Is it true that all north and southbound state and fed highways are odd numbered; east and west even?

Answer 1

I believe so.. i do know that 3 numbered highways are go all around the state. and such.... i am pretty sure it is true though

Answer 2

I've been driving professionally for over 10 years, so i know this; US highways and interstates are numbered odd going north and south, even going east and west. State routes don't always follow this rule. Some highways, such as I-24 from Chattanooga, TN to north of Paducah, KY run in such a direction that it could be a North/South highway, but is designated East-West, so the direction may not always be exact.

Answer 3

It's true for U S highways, But not all state highways.

Example Michigan M-66 runs north & south M-46 runs East & west

Answer 4

Yes, this is true for interstate highways. For example, I-10 goes E/W, I-15 goes N/S.

Answer 5

Yes. FYI, the lowest numbers for odd start is California and get higher as you go east. ie IH 35 through Texas and IH 95 that goes along the East coast.

Answer 6

yes thats true. the number also represents the actual ocation of the intersate such as I 95 means 95 percent of the us is to the west. I 10 means 10 percent of the us is to the south. etc.

Answer 7

You are correct for Interstate Highway Routes, or Freeways.

This is not necessarily the case for US highways, state highways, and county roads,

Answer 8

To a point the US and interstate numbers are N-S are odd and E-W are even, However three digit hiways are spurs and bypasses. spurs and bypasses do either but correspond to the highway they connect

Answer 9

yes, i have the same question 2 weeks ago after watching Monk. so i did some research and guess what? All interstate freeways have the same naming system.

Answer 10

Yes. That's the way it works.
