Interstate 285 circles Atlanta and has a unique approach to control cities. It's done well, but is it signed as awesomely as it could be? We consider that along with the idea of power ranking the control city selections of metro areas. Stay tuned to the end to learn about a fun gimmick that will start next year!

Control City Freak is updated weekly and covers every two digit Interstate Highway in America as well as other roads. I'll be showing control city signs on each 1 and 2 digit (2di) Interstate Highway in the continental United States and will strive to make as complete a record as possible, as well as various other highways. I'll also be getting into the roadgeek weeds here and there, showing downtown skylines and state border crossings, and making corny jokes. I welcome all to join my geeky tour of every primary Interstate in the country!
