Interstate 90 is, as you know, the longest Interstate in the country, and today we take a look at it's central section. Its scenery and cities are as varied as the cromulence of its control cities! 
Todd ranks the state DOT's signage in 6 Northeastern states. Watch as he counts down and gets increasingly more annoyed.
Interstate 90 is, as you know, the longest Interstate in the country, and today we take a look at it's western section. Its many rivers, mountain passes, scenic towns, mystery ramps, and weird control cities make it a great ride! 
Interstate 89 is a stunningly beautiful road and this channel's first visit to 2 new states. Plus, some thoughts on ordinal exit numbering! 
Interstate 88 serves Binghamton and Albany. It's an undeniably beautiful road but is it the "real" I-88?
Interstate 88 isn't the most scenic road, but it will get you from the Quad cities to downtown Chicago faster than I-80 - for a price. Is it the 'real' I-88? 
"Interstate 87's" route is perfectly sensible and even needed, but the number, oh the number.  North Carolina strikes again! Bonus content on 587.
Interstate 87 connects some of the densest parts of New York City with rural wilderness. For an intrastate Interstate, it varies a lot and goes through some awesome scenery. It's probably New York's finest! 
We made it to 5K! In this episode I've got a Rocky character countdown, roadtrip playlists, a little about me, and a lot about highways! Thanks so much to everyone who watches this crazy little channel, especially the 5,000 of you who made this possible.
Interstate 86 serves Binghamton, Erie, and in a roundabout way, NYC. It's an undeniably beautiful road, but is it shield-worthy?
Interstate 86 Western isn't much of a road, but it does connect Pocatello and Idaho Falls with the larger cities in the state. Amazingly, it could well be the "real" I-86!
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!
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. It's probably the most important odd-numbered road to exist entirely in the South!
Interstate 84 takes this channel into 2 new states, along with a near face turn for one of the greatest control city heels. It's an interesting road! 
Interstate 84 used to be known as 80N, and connects Portland (and Seattle) to the interior West and Midwest. It's the main street of Idaho and offers great views in Utah!
Interstate 84 used to be known as 80N, and connects Portland (and Seattle) to the interior West and Midwest. It's Oregon section is one of the most beautiful stretches of Interstate anywhere! 
Interstate 83 runs from Baltimore to Harrisburg, covering a short though significant corridor. Showing it's awesome urban views involves exiting itself a lot!
Interstate 82 is often north-south and is out of grid, but it's an important part on many paths to Seattle. It's passes through some gorgeous scenery too! 
Interstate 81 connects upstate New York with the Great Smokies of Tennessee and is never too far from the mountains. It's an awesome road!
Want to drive from DC to any other North American national capital? You'll be taking Interstate 81! The back road of the East Coast sneakily connects all sorts of major city pairs. It's a beautiful drive! 
In this video, we travel west from New York to San Francisco, checking out some sights we missed on the eastbound video and following spur routes through Omaha and Sacramento. It's an awesome trip!
Some of the most infamous 3 digit Interstates happen to share the 180 number, so in this episode we'll count them down from least-worse to worst, and talk a little college football on the way.
Number 2 in length, Interstate 80 is almost certainly number one in importance when it comes to transcontinental routes. Lots to talk about in the longest Control City Freak vid yet!
Interstate 79 sweeps its way from central West Virginia through eastern Pennsylvania through lovely scenery and terrible control city signage. It's pretty cool! 
Start spreading the news! Control City Freak is back and we're making our first trip into New York with a little help from Interstate 78.
Interstate 77 crosses the Appalachians in dramatic fashion, while connecting Cleveland with the Carolinas. It's an awesome road! 
Todd ranks the state DOT's signage in 9 Midwestern states. Watch as he counts down and gets increasingly more annoyed.
Interstate 77 crosses the Appalachians in dramatic fashion, while connecting the Carolinas with Cleveland. It's an awesome road! 
Eastern Interstate 76 follows a number of freeways that proceeded the Interstate Highway system, most notably the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Outside of that, the control cities get pretty weird.
The Western Interstate 76 spans an important corridor, connecting Denver to Nebraska and ultimately Chicago and points northeast. It's got a number of questionable control cities, and signage for the most questionable one of all.
Interstate 75 south is probably the road's true form, bringing Midwesterners to the South and ultimately Florida Beaches. Let's drive down! 
Interstate 75 connects Miami to Michigan and passes a lot of cool spots along the way, including one of the great bridges of the Interstate Highway System. It's a great trip!
"Interstate 74" in North Carolina probably shouldn't exist, and should just be a couple of 3 digit interstates and an upgraded US 74. If it were a control city, it would be Limon.
Interstate 74 acts as a large southwestern bypass of Chicago, and also has to lead the league in near-junctions, as it barely misses connecting with four different 2 digit Interstates. 
Interstate 73 is either an out-of-grid intrastate interstate that will eventually connect to small portions of Virginia and South Carolina, or it's a well-numbered cross country interstate that will never exist. Let's take a look at its current situation! 
Interstate 72 is a nearly intrastate Interstate and a low key shortcut between Chicago and Kansas City. What it lacks in major cities, it makes up for in sensible control cities and interesting scenery. Not.
Interstate 71 may just be the pound for pound Interstate champ city-wise, packing in 4 major metros in just 343 miles. Find out how it measures up control city-wise in this episode! 
The west way down I-70 just may be the best way down I-70. In this episode we see awesome scenery, cool cities, weird control cities, and Todd even sings (sorry about that). 
Todd ranks the state DOT's signage in 11 Southern states. Watch as he counts down and gets increasingly more annoyed.
To celebrate the one year anniversary of Control City Freak, we finally get to the best road of them all! Interstate 70 passes through breathtaking mountains, many tunnels, Breezewood, and my home town. Find out what I would replace Limon with in this episode!
We untangle the web of suffixed routes as we mosey on from Texas for the final time in the primary Interstate portion of this channel.
Interstate 69 dudes! In this episode, we look at the very discontiguous portions of I-69 through Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
Interstate 69 dudes! I-69 is a very discontiguous road that will eventually connect Canada with Mexico by way of Michigan, Texas, and several other states. This episode examines the most contiguous section.
Interstate 68. is, well, the most hyped Interstate ever! Find out why in this episode as we look at this alternate route to Ohio and West.
Interstate 66 serves DC, but what should it be signed westbound? We take a look at the choices, and try to untangle the web of spurs in The District.
There's more than corn on I-65! This road through the US interior crosses from Central to Eastern and back to Central Time Zone. 
I-65 connects the northern extent of the South Coast with the southern tip of the North Coast, and is a very popular trucking route.

Interstate 64 could combine with I-44 without affecting the grid, and would make for a fine I-50 or I-60 if such things were allowed. Its westbound run is as scenic as it's eastbound, with arguably better control cities. 

Interstate 64 is a winding and frequently concurrent road that's too far north to be in the South and too far south to be in the Northeast, but frequently traverses beautiful terrain. 

A diagonal crossing the deep south, I-59 is also the spiritual continuation of I-81, moving traffic while avoiding (most) major cities. 

Over the river and through the woods, down I-57 we go!

In the first episode of "Road Movie Reviews," we take a look at the 1983 Chevy Chase classic, National Lampoon's Vacation. What route did Clark W. Griswold take the Family Truckster? Did the route make sense? What were the control cities in 1983? And what role does Route 66 play? Find out in this video!

The road that connects many of America's music Meccas, lets take a trip down south on I-55 and its surprisingly obscure control cities.

America's Mississippiest Interstate, I-55 connects the bayou with Lake Shore Drive. It's a fun road. 

It's Control City Freak's 50th video! Thanks so much for watching. We look at the newer, mainly Missouri and Arkansas section of I-49, and talk about some far-fetched renumbering.

A currently discontiguous road, Interstate 49 will eventually connect New Orleans with Kansas City. Here we look at the older, mainly Louisiana section. 

I-45 connects Texas's two best downtown skylines and America's 4th and 5th largest metro areas but is the shortest X5 interstate by far (and the only one that will be a single episode here, probably)..

I-44 is a diagonal and largely replaced sections of Route 66. The control city signage is... interesting. If you take a drink every time 44 exits itself, you'll be hammered by the end of this video. 

I-43 is an intrastate Wisconsin Interstate and the quickest way from Milwaukee to Green Bay, but somehow has zero signs for Lambeau Field.

The first in a series of ranking State DOT signing related to control cities, we take a look at ranking the southwestern states.

I-41 fits the grid perfectly as it connects Milwaukee with Green Bay, but is this the right number for this road?

On I-40, the west(bound) is the best. I'm thankful for your continued support and viewership, and for every control city, even the turkeys. Happy Thanksgiving!

It's I-40. It's awesome.

I-39 makes a beeline between central Illinois and central Wisconsin, spanning two states we haven't talked about much yet on this channel.

Texas - king of the intrastate Interstates - flexes its road muscles with its fourth in this series - Interstate 37.

I -35 may just be the most Pan-American Highway of the US section of the Pan-American Highway, join me on a fun trip from Lake Superior to the Mexican border. 

The road so nice they split it twice, I 35 is the primary north-south route in Middle America.

"Dirty" 30 is the shortest X0 Interstate, but still serves an important corridor with a lot of clean skyline views. 

Our first Midwestern Interstate! I-29 runs along 3 rivers while narrowly avoiding 3 states. 

Our first Midwestern Interstate! I-29 connect the largest cities in three states while somehow remaining largely rural and traffic-free.

A short intrastate road through the Texas Panhandle that may have a large extension in its future. If you like frontage roads, slip ramps, and Whataburger, this is the road for you!

The most South Carolina of Interstates and the least east-west of the even numbered routes, I-26 is an overall sensibly signed road. 

A Mountain West masterpiece, North I-25 traverses striking scenery, cool cities, and terrible signage.

A Mountain West masterpiece, South I-25 traverses striking scenery, cool cities, and terrible signage.

A diagonal shortcut from St. Louis to Atlanta, I-24 centers around Nashville and may just be the best signed Interstate in America control city-wise. 

Running from outer Birmingham to Memphis-ish by way of Tupelo, Interstate 22 is the most Elvis of Interstates.

It may not be the southernmost Interstate, but it just may be the most South one. Let's go from Florence, SC to West Texas.

It may not be the southernmost Interstate, but it just may be the most South one.

A short drive down Arizona's own I-19, easily the metric-ist Interstate in the land.  

Another intrastate Interstate, but a scenic one with some fun quirks, I-17 is the shortcut from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon.

It's a short, flat, wooded, 167 mile hop between Macon and Savanah on Georgia's own Interstate 16.

A trip through the interior Mountain West the Canadian border at Montana to San Diego, I-15 offers fast growing cities and stunning views.

A trip through the interior Mountain West from San Diego to the Canadian border at Montana, I-15 offers fast growing cities and stunning views.

One of the newest, shortest, and least signed Interstates, deep in the heart of Texas.  

Louisiana's own Interstate 12 provides a shortcut around New Orleans for long distance travel. Should it be a 3 digit interstate? Maybe.

A short down one of the newest Interstates in America, I-11.

Taking a journey from Jacksonville to Santa Monica Pier, I-10 West is filled with scenery and control cities brilliant and awful.

Traveling from Santa Monica to Jacksonville along the southernmost coast to coast highway in the United States!

Check out the control cities of America's southwestern-most interstate!

Taking a trip from border to border along the west coast's Main Street.

Looking at I-5 from the Mexican border to the Canadian one.

In my second video, I look at the control cities on Interstate 4... the road to Disney World!

In my first video, I look at control cities on one of the newest, shortest Interstates (and the one with the lowest number).
