Using Freeway Numbers For Survival


Did you know that freeway numbers aren’t random at all, and you can use them to find your way around in an emergency, survival, or bug-out situation?

Here are some rules:


- Odd numbered routes run north and south, higher numbers are east, lower numbers are west.

- Even numbered routes run east to west, higher numbers are north, lower numbers are south

- Three digit highways run only within a single city

- An odd first digit in a three digit highway means the route is a spur route and goes to the city center

- An even first digit in a three digit highway means the rout goes around the city center

- The last two digits of a three digit highway signify it’s origin.
