I used to be a Long Haul Trucker out of Houston Texas. The I-10 route would take me 10-13 hours to get out of state. Then I also drove I-5 thru California and I-10 thru NM & Arizona. Good video.

Another fun fact is the stretch of I-10 within Texas is longer than either stretch to its west or east. So it's actually a shorter route from Orange, TX to Jacksonville, FL and from El Paso to Santa Monica than it is to drive completely through Texas.

Looks like I-76 in PA wasn't correctly drawn, either; when it splits from I-70, I-76 veers around the north side of Pittsburgh and makes a beeline for the Akron/Youngstown area. And on the Philly end, I-76 leaves the Turnpike, instead veering sharply southeast into Philly proper and across a bridge into NJ.

As stated above, the map of Oklahoma's I-40 is incorrect. I-40 runs West/East from the Oklahoma-Texas State line around Texola, Oklahoma to the Oklahoma-Arkansas State line just west of Ft. Smith, AR. Just so you know, the correct mileage for I-40 through Oklahoma is 330.20 miles (531.41 km). FYI, the mileage for I-44 through Oklahoma which runs from the Oklahoma-Texas State line North of Burkburnett, TX to the Oklahoma-Missouri State line Southwest of Joplin, MO is just a little less at 329.26 miles (530.05 km)

In addition to OK I-40 and PA I-76 being incorrectly drawn, I-40 in TN is also a little bit off: It does not go through Pigeon Forge, but goes north of it to cross into NC north of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. (The drawing of I-40 in NC correctly shows where it comes in from TN.)

For Oklahoma's I-40 placement: While you got I-40 being the interstate highway with the most driveable miles within the state correct, you got the total miles wrong. I-40 ACTUALLY has 331 total driveable miles across Oklahoma, not 298. Judging by the outline on the map you showed, you followed I-40 correctly all the way from Texas to OKC and then started following I-44 northeast up into Joplin, Missouri instead of continuing to follow I-40 east over to Fort Smith, Arkansas. As a fun side bonus because I brought up I-44 too: I-44 is also actually 329 miles across the entire state.

From there, the route follows US 23 until it becomes US 223, and then goes to the state line. If you were to follow the exact path of the line you'd be off-roading in people's backyards.

One half of I-75 through Georgia is definitely more engaging than the other. If heading from Florida north, the first 160-170 miles is mostly flat fields and trees until the Macon area.

My favorite stretch is definitely Lake Allatoona to Chattanooga as you start seeing low mountains and ridges along the way.

Not really, immediately when you enter GA, 75 runs through Lake Park then Valdosta(pop. 56,000)and a metro of 150,000. South central Georgia has many townships , small metro and micropolitans. Albany, Cordele, Perry, Tifton, Adele, Vidalia, Hahira , Moultrie, Warner Robins(pop, 90k+, and others all south of Macon. The southern corridor of I -75 just so happens to parallel a small portion of Georgias most agricultural zones of those counties. Peaches, peanuts, corn, onions and other crops are grown in a portion of those counties that are adjacent to 75. If you get off the interstate you will run into many different towns and small cities that overlap eachother.

I thought i-95 would be the longest in Florida but that trek east across the Everglades really adds to its length. i-95 would be longer if it went all the way down US-1 to Key West, but it ends in downtown Miami.

Yes, the western section for Pennsylvania is actually I-70 which goes from Wheeling, West Virginia, and connects to the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-76 at Breezewood. It continues with I-76 to New Stanton before I-70 goes into Maryland ending at Baltimore while I-76 continues towards Harrisburg and Philadelphia.

Some corrections needed here: - New Jersey is not part of New England. New England is the region northeast of but not including New York. - I-70 in Maryland is about 93 miles, not 136 miles. I-95 in Maryland is its longest interstate at 108 miles, dropping it to 46th place behind Connecticut. - I-94 in Minnesota is the longest if I-35E or I-35W aren't considered part of I-35. With I-35E, I-35 would be 260 miles, and with I-35W, I-35 would be 262 miles. - I-40 in Oklahoma goes directly east-west, not northeast-southwest beyond OKC. I-44 goes northeast from OKC to Tulsa. I-40 is the longest though, at 331 miles. - I-95 in Maine does not go through Portland, I-295 does which appears to be drawn here. I-95 follows the Maine Turnpike to Lewiston/Auburn. - I-76 in Pennsylvania goes northwest of Pittsburgh to Ohio, I-70 goes directly west. - I-75 in Michigan goes through Detroit proper, and doesn't go through Ann Arbor. US 23 was drawn south of Flint. - A-1 in Alaska doesn't go southwest of Anchorage: that's A-3. However, A-1 does travel to the Canadian border at Alcan Border. - I-40 through Tennessee and I-80 through Nebraska are even closer than mentioned in the video. They're off by only .04 miles, or roughly 200 feet, at 455.28 miles and 455.32 miles respectively.

13:37 When the US map is displayed with the red (odd-numbered) and blue (even numbered), your inclusion of A-1 and H-1 are in red for odd-numbered. That is deceiving as those two highways, while odd-numbered, are east-west highways which do not follow the rules for direction with the interstates in the contiguous 48. Also, the unsigned Puerto Rico interstates are not included.

I-69 is disconnected in Indianapolis because up until about 15 years ago, the half that connects Indianapolis to Evansville didn't exist. Technically speaking, the I-69 extension (currently called the I-69 Finish Line project) is scheduled to complete this year. As far as I'm aware, there are no plans to designate any portion of I-465 around Indianapolis as also being I-69; at least, the Finish Line project doesn't mention that. And there are certainly no plans to directly extend I-69 through the city, as that would be a monumental and ultimately pointless task, as it's just as easy to go around on I-465. So, I'm not certain that I-69 will ever be one connected highway.

At 8:20 of the video you have an ABSOLUTELY WRONG drawing of I-75 in Michigan!!! First it goes now where near Ann Arbor! It starts at the Ohio border, goes north thru Monroe into the heart of Detroit, then makes large turn and goes North West thru the northern suburbs to Pontiac, then Flint, & then to Saginaw. North of Saginaw just before it reaches the huge Saginaw Bay, I-75 swings west along the shore to Standish where it cuts into the center of the Mitten then goes north across the Mackinaw Bridge into Sault Saint Maire in the Upper Peninsula.

I agree with this, absolutely correct. I was going to make the same comment. The full USA map seems to be OK, but the one referenced at 8:20 is wrong. I noticed the Detroit bypass problem first and missed the routing problem on the map in the video north of Bay City. This error might change the distance and ranking as presented.
@KEVKAK08
@KEVKAK08 5 ай бұрын
Slightly disagree with the routing description in that it makes a slight hook to the west just past Bay City before going nearly straight north through Pinconning and Standish. Just past the northern West Branch exit is where it makes an almost complete beeline east-west to Houghton Lake before turning north again. The bridge is spelled with the French spelling as well, "Mackinac," though as a kid I swear the signs used to have the English spelling on the bridge at some spots in the state. Finally, the northernmost terminus of I-75 in Michigan/the US is "Sault Ste. Marie." While it is pronounced "Saint," the official name of the town is literally with the "Ste." spelling.

An interesting thing about Indiana is that the mileage of I-69 stops and restarts. Originally, it was 258 miles running from I-465 to the Michigan State line. When Congress mandated the extension of I-69 south to the Mexican border, INDOT changed the mile posts and exit sinage numbering to start with 200 and run to 358. In this post, that total is 311. Not being shown in the highlighted route on the map in this video is the length of I-69 that runs along I-465. When I-69 is completed, route signs for 69 should be added to the 74 and 465 route marker signs that are currently on I-465. The true length of I-69 should then include that portion of it that is shared by I-465 just as I-74 does. This would then require redoing the mile post and exit numbering, that I am sure won't happen.

I avoid I-70 through downtown like the plague. It’s a real pain! Speed limit eastbound drops down to 40-45 going through the western part of the Lewis and Clark Viaduct. It’s even down to one lane through that sharp curve. 670 is faster and safer.
