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.
