I would not know about that. I just seem to recall a section in the road atlas that talked about how the road numbering worked.

I do not have a smartphone. Mine is very stupid. I like it that way.

It probably went to a public school.

Edit: In New Jersey.

And don't forget the mile markers:

A good thing to point out to the kids when they keep asking "are we almost there yet?"

Status: offline 		It's a big story, Mutt, and that was a neat little tutorial. If it was going to take more time, I think it would be better spent explaining the concepts of the mile marker, and exit numbering.

Whoever likes their GPS better, I'll refer to my sigline.
