Interstate 85 is one of the most well-signed roads in the country, despite being often off-grid and more east-west than north-south. like I-20, it's in the running to be the most South Interstate despite not being the most southern one. The southbound direction is more fun! Control City Freak is updated weekly and covers every two digit Interstate Highway in America. 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. 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!
