It appears to be.  The only states I am unsure of are Alaska (no freeways)
and Hawaii.  Most states mark the exits by mile number (which is great
for quick distance calculations).  A few on the east coast (Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,
Pennsylvania, Georgia and Florida) number consecutively.  Anyone know
why California doesn't?
