>Come to think of it, how many interstates go coast to coast? I know >I80 does (From Newark N.J. to San Francisco). It's billed as "the Main Street >of the United States" in Indiana. 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. --Catfood
