The way the highway system works is that the two digit interstates ending
in "0" are supposed to go from coast to coast--I-90 from Boston to Seattle,
I-80 from the Hudson River to San Francisco, etc. I also believe that the two
digit "5" highways were supposed to do the same thing: I-5 from Seattle to
San Diego, I-95 from nowhere Maine to nowhere Florida. I'd have to take a look
at a map to see if the current infrastructure lives up to that, but that was
the plan way back when.
