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! 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!

A. Bellefonte is pronounced (Bell-font) B. DuBois is pronounced (Do-boys) C. PennDOT is working on constructing a high-speed interchange for I-99, though it is taking forever because it has to be done in steps. Step one is to build a local interchange two miles northeast of I-99, step two is to improve Jacksonville Road in preparation for detouring I-99/I-80 traffic onto it, and finally they can work on the high-speed interchange itself. The entire project is expected to be complete by 2026, with the local interchange being completed this fall.

I-80 once had five suffixed routes, tied with I-35 for the most. The three I-80N's became western I-84, the I-680 segment that is now called I-880, and a section of mainline I-80 in Ohio. Interestingly, the two I-80S routes were changed into the western and eastern I-76s. I-35's total trimmed to four suffixed routes when I-35W in Kansas switched into I-135.

In the Northeast, especially from Trenton northeast, the pattern is more akin to smaller independent cities orbiting big cities. Places like Paterson, White Plains, Bridgeport, New Haven, Waterbury, Worcester, and Lowell really aren't suburbs (and were even less so at the time the Interstates were being built)... they'd have their own economies/commute patterns/etc.

I live in Reno, and have driven on every mile of I 80 due to using it as a divider between north and south for my 21/22 road trips. I think Elkhart should be added as a control city, as its a decent sized metro (200k). Also I’d add Iowa City: it’s decent sized (180k), provides access to Cedar Rapids, and is home to the University of Iowa. Also, as you get closer to Reno, you start seeing distance signs for Sparks, a smaller city of about 110k just east of US 395.

Exit 222 in Nebraska where Interstate 80 meets Nebraska 21 in South Cozad Township marks the symbolic halfway point on the highway.

The Cobblestone hotel which we stayed at twice on our cross country road trip between New York and Las Vegas in the summer of 2021 was built on top of the former motor inn’s footprint.

Yep, there's a divide there. If I'm not mistaken, that sign is in Portage County, so named because those traveling by canoe and other early watercraft would "portage" (carry their boats) between the rivers leading to the Ohio River and those leading to Lake Erie. This is a rare divide running east and west, rather than north-south divides like the Continental Divide... and yes, this divide runs near Chicago, too.

A possible solution for the 376 New Castle vs Pittsburgh situation could be to sign it for the Pittsburgh International Airport. 376 is the main way that people get to the Airport, as opposed to I-79, which connects to Pittsburgh itself via I-279. Of course, it’s a bit far from the Airport at its intersection with I-80. If I had to guess though, it is probably signed for New Castle since it used to be part of a state route until 2009, and since I-376 meets US-224 and US-422 in New Castle.

I partly agree with that. I’d feel better if at the 294 split it was Joliet and Quad Cities. Joliet is the 3rd largest city in Illinois population wise so why not put both it and Quad Cities since 80 goes through both? It didn’t used to bother me them putting Des Moines on the 80 West signs but that was 30 years ago, a lot has changed since then. Where the Chicago suburbs end is actually a heated topic so I won’t get into it here but I do have an opinion on that.

I’ve thought for years now that I-80 should actually have its eastern terminus at the eastern end of the Long Island Expressway near Riverhead, NY. It should go west across Long Island to the interchange with I-295, then head over the Throgs Neck Bridge and run concurrently with I-95 through south Bronx and over northern Manhattan and across the George Washington Bridge. This would make I-80 more truly coast to coast and not require any new highway construction.

I live in Des Moines and I remember when all the signs said both Omaha and Council Bluffs. I sorta understand why they sign it, since Council Bluffs is considered a major city in Iowa, but it mostly piggybacks off of Omaha's metro. Davenport makes sense because it's actually the largest city of the Quad Cities unlike Moline and Rock Island, and has the most city-esque downtown and feel. Signing Council Bluffs without Omaha would be like signing Mason City for I-35 north without Minneapolis, or Albert Lea even. And the North Omaha for 880 is probably just a leftover of when it was signed with 680, since 680 itself did take you to North Omaha.

Thanks for mentioning Streetsboro while on I-80 West...the little town where I grew up. I-80 does not go through or touch the Cleveland city limits at all, as the Ohio Turnpike was designed and built not to go through any major city. Regarding the sign in Portage County, Ohio designating the Eastern Continental Divide...there IS a divide between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. As pointed out, west of the divide is the Cuyahoga River (I-80 goes over it twice) which flows to Lake Erie. East of the Divide is the Mahoning River - I-76 crosses over it, and it flows to the Beaver River, then to the Ohio River.

Late to the party here. But signing 376 for New Castle is the right call imo. If you are going westbound on 80 from New Jersey and you want to get to Pittsburgh, there are several options available from Rt. 28 all the way through to I-79. Going to 376 from the East and signing it Pittsburgh doesn't make sense especially considering 376 is also a toll road. I'd even argue signing it Eastbound doesn't make sense because it's quicker to get to Pittsburgh taking 79 and no toll. New Castle also population of over 21,000 and biggest city in the area.

The signage between the GWB and the 80/95 split could definitely be done better (can't wait for the I-95 video). I think it's important to remember that a lot of interstate traffic in this region is freight and cargo. Northern New Jersey used to be a mighty industrial center, and is a major logistics point not just for NYC but for a lot of commerce serving New England too. From the GWB heading westbound, I understand Paterson as a control city because more than a suburb it's a major industrial center. An aside: if they were ever going to reroute I-80 for some reason, I would want them to extend it over the GWB and then follow 678 all the way to JFK airport. Those x78s in NYC are so annoying since 78 doesn't enter NYC, can't wait to see you cover them in a future video.

Random theory: maybe PA was so offended by Ohio skipping all PA towns and signing I-80 east for NYC that PA gets its "revenge" by not signing any OH towns until it absolutely has to. On another note, I now live in Salt Lake City, and that stretch of I-80 from the WY border to SLC is even more beautiful in person than it is on Google Street View. I cannot recommend it enough!

Illinois goes by states as the control city for I-80 & I-294. Going westbound on I-80 through the Chicago suburbs, the control cities are Iowa or Moline-Rock Island. Going eastbound, it’s Indiana. It changes to Des Moines after I-39. It does still show the mileage to Des Moines though, from Chicago. Nebraska’s control cities for I-80 is no problem. I-80 is the only interstate in the state, and most of the big towns in Nebraska are along I-80. Plus, Cheyenne is miles away and I-80 doesn’t go through Denver.

I-80 West is the direction of 80 that I have the most mileage on. Took it from Cleveland all the way to I-76 which I took to Denver. Would still like to take it further one of these days. Safe to say this will be your longest video until you get to I-90. 90 will be a chore to get through compared to 80. And now that I-80 is done, looks like we’ll be getting another 2-part video! I-81 is a very long North-South route and it’ll be the last time we go into West Virginia too. We’ll also be going into upstate New York for the first time on I-81 too. Can’t wait to see that one.

And on I-80 meeting I-180 in Nebraska, the whole interchange is Exit 401 with A and B being on I-80 and C and D being on I-180. It’s kind of interesting, but also bizarre and I’ve never understood it

I-80 doesn't go near Scranton though. 380 is a totally seperate road that branches off and it's still another 30-40 miles north to get there. It's kind of like if they signed I-80 for Allentown because it's 30-40 miles south. Williamsport is only a couple miles off of I-80 so it makes more sense than Scranton. Bloomsburg is also a popular university in PA and a big destination point along 80 so it would make sense to have it on a sign. Bellefonte (pronounced "Bellfont") is another popular suburb outside of State College and most people from the region have heard of it.

The reason for making Yellowstone as a control city is based on the argument I made on the 66 video about Shenandoah NP being the control city, well Yellowstone is obviously a famous National Park so signing Yellowstone until US-191 makes perfect sense because Yellowstone travelers toward the park would be more concerned about the direction the highways takes them to than they are about Rock Springs or for that matter SLC.

I grew up on Long Island and that would be dumb and make no sense. Having I-80 come to an abrupt end in Riverhead would be the worst ending of any interstate, especially a behemoth interstate like 80. The only ending that would be worse would be I-70 in Baltimore. Also none of your suggestions come close the original plan for 495 (or the LIE as Long Islanders call it). I-495 was originally supposed to start off of 95 in NJ and go into the Lincoln tunnel (currently NJ-495), then go either through or under midtown Manhattan (never built) to the mid town tunnel. From there it would go into Long Island (currently LIE) and then cross a bridge or tunnel into CT where it would reconnect with it’s parent interstate 95 (never built). Just to throw in another fun fact since you mentioned I-295, I-295 (or Clear View Expressway as the locals call it) was supposed to be the end stretch of I-78. I-78 was supposed go through the Holland Tunnel, then across lower Manhattan and over the Williamsburg bridge into Brooklyn. That’s where it would meet I-278 for the second time (278 was originally supposed to start from 78 in Springfield, NJ) where it would then go to JFK airport where it would meet I-678 for the first time. Then it would make its way to II-295’s current route over the Throgs Neck bridge and it would terminate at the Buckner interchange where it would meet 278, 678, and 95.

I-495 is an auxiliary interstate and its ending is in Riverhead which is ok for a road of its caliber. And it doesn’t end at NY-25 it ends at county road 58/Old Country Road.

If an interstate has a control city it’s gonna be what city it goes to. Like in Lincoln, it would never say Denver because I-80 doesn’t get close to denver Edit: also in some places of the country, local places matter more and in others, bigger places matter more

Getting to Denver doesn't involve making a movement. You drive more or less straight and at speed.

@@AdamSmith-gs2dv You have to exit off of the mainline of 80 to continue going west as the mainline of 80 becomes 76. I think the Control City on 80 should be Cheyenne west of Lincoln though.

@@highway2heaven91 Nah man. Denver is bigger than Cheyenne. In fact, bigger than any Nebraska and Wyoming city. I find it weird how people just aren't okay with control cities that the Interstate doesn't actually go to.

Yes Nebraska should sign Cheyenne from Big Springs but not from Lincoln due to I-76 & Denver, but I have seen Nebraska mention both Cheyenne & Denver on some mileage charts between Lincoln & Big Springs though.

spoken as a local, I-80 West in NJ should be Patterson, Parsippany (which has both I-280 and the exit for I-287, which has that mini local/express config), there has to be another city in NJ, and then Delaware Water Gap (spell it out). But Delaware Water Gap is an actual borough in PA, and being on the border, it does make sense to be there, but maybe should say "Delaware Water Gap, PA".

Why does there have to be another city in NJ? 80 only has 68 miles in the state.
