Odd numbers run north and south and even numbers run east and west !

Numbering starts at the south and the west.
Number (supposedly) represents the approximate percentage of the country that is to the south or west of the interstate. (I.E. 20% of the country is south of I-20, 95% of the country is west of I-95.)
