In case you did not know, if the interstate has an even number, it runs east-west. If the interstate has a odd number, it runs north-south. Generally speaking, odd numbed interstates are lowest in number in the west (I-5 runs along the Pacific coast) and highest in number in the east (I-95 runs along the Atlantic coast). Generally speaking, even number interstates are lowest in number in the south (I-4, an intrastate interstate, is in Florida) and highest in number in the north (I-94 goes through, among other states, North Dakota). Three digit interstates form beltways around cities or spurs off other (mainly one and two digit) interstates.
