It seems they have a slight problem which is 'solved' by maintaining the
current numbering system.  Were they to continue the numbering from the rest
of I-95 in Virginia, the three exits from the Squirrelly Highway to the WW
Bridge would be numbered in the 170's.  It is bad enough that the DC Beltway
has two sets of numbers (in VA from 1-14 and in MD from 1-41), but to create
a new set with MD having 1-41, those three being 170, 172, 175 (random numbers
only, for the real thing drive it and look at the mile-markers), and the rest
of I-495 in VA (From the 95/395/495 junction up around past Annandale, Tysons
and such) being 1-10 or somesuch.... that would be just too much.

IMNSHO, the only way to correct these problems with the exit numbers is to
finish building I-95 through the city instead of stopping it (currently called
I-395) near N. Capitol/New York Ave.  Then they could do what every other
city along any other interstate does and just number the exits sequentially
around in one direction or the other.
