Interstate Exit Numbering System

In calendar year 2000 all exit numbers were changed from a sequential numbering system, where numbers moved up in numerical order, to a mile-log numbering system, where the exit numbers correspond to the nearest milepost.

  • The mile-log numbering system allows:
    • Emergency vehicles to get to incidents quicker.
    • More exact times of arrival to an incident to be estimated.
    • Families, police and EMS to locate stranded vehicles quicker.
    • Out-of-town travelers to better estimate travel times.
    • Better travel planning due to more usable distance information.
    • A more efficient way of tracking goods and services by commercial freight vehicles.
  • All signs were upgraded to high-quality, high intensity reflective sheeting signs.  These signs better enhance viewing during the day, as well as at night, when illuminated by headlights.
  • All interstate exit signs were upgraded to "breakaway signs."  These signs bend or flex when hit by motorists, lessening the impact to the motorist and the vehicle.
  • For East-West interstates, the numbers run from west to east, and for North-South interstates, the numbers run from south to north.  For example, on I-75, the first exit (Exit 2) is near the Florida state line, and on I-20, the first exit (Exit 5) is near the Alabama state line.
