This was the inspiration for
skippyfoxcub's photo on I-99.
I-99 and I-238 are the only two Interstate highways whose numbers "break the rules." (I-238 was numbered such because California ran out of numbers that DIDN'T break the rules. I-99 was the result of political interference.)

There's now two I-69s as well. The main one goes from Port Huron, MI, goes past where I live, all the way to Indianapolis, IN. There's another I-69 now just south of the Southhaven, MS. I didn't realize this until I made my Southern road trip... was confused by seeing an I-69 all the way down there. :P
General rules -- 1 and 2 digit interstates:
factors of 5 are the major interstates
odd ones run north-south, lowest in the west, (I-5) highest in the east (I-95)
even ones run east-west, lowest in the south (I-10), highest in the north (I-90)
There are diagonal ones which are allowed to cross the parallels, but they generally fall into proper numbering rules.
3-digit interstates are spur or loop routes associated with a 1 or 2 digit interstate. I-495 would be based on I-95 for example.
There are two interstates that break these rules:
I-238: there is no I-38 and if there were, it would be nowhere near California. They ran out of numbers in the SF Bay area, and "promoted" State route 238 to Interstate status.
I-99: would be the furthest east of any north-south route, but it exists in central Pennsylvania between I-79 and I-81.

lol I been on that interstate before :P
I remember my friend telling me that this interstate was breaking the number rules Oo
That's when I realize that interstates had to have certain numbers like the 5's from west to east and 10's from south to north and etc...
Pretty nice picture by the way ^^
