The most rural Interstate (except maybe I-8). Between San Antonio and Los Angeles, I-10 is either in a large town or in absolute nothingness. It has an intersection with I-20 in the middle of nowhere in Texas, 130 miles from El Paso and 450 miles from San Antonio.
Of somewhat interest is "The Thing". I myself do not know what that is but it is located near Texas Canyon, Arizona, on I-10.
I-10 passes through these major cities:
Los Angeles, Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso (even though nobody would put it on this list), San Antonio, Houston, New Orleans, and Jacksonville.
"Wanna go see The Thing?"
"Where's that?"
"Nowhere, Arizona, on I-10"
An interchange between Interstate 35W and Minnesota State Highway 62 in Richfield, Minnesota. Traffic often backs up for several miles. Try to avoid this area in full but if you must enter it, DO IT BEFORE RUSH HOUR OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!
To bypass the crappy Crosstown Commons, use I-494 or local streets.
Possibly the worst freeway in the Twin Cities except maybe Crosstown 62. It certainly has the two most dangerous interchanges in the metro, filled with weaving and tightly spaced interchanges, at I-35E and also at a huge interchange with MN 51 and US 10. Also has a crappy interchange at I-35W and and a useless dual-signage route with I-94, which is its parent route anyway.
"The fastest way to Minneapolis from here is I-694 to I-35W."
"Let's take Highway 100 or 169 to I-394 instead, because I don't want to get killed."
"Agreed."
A song released by Led Zeppelin in the early 1970s. It is the greatest song that ever came into this world. Not to mention a great stress reducer.
I like listening to Stairway to Heaven a lot on long road trips because it removes driving stress.
The west half of Interstate 35 through the Twin Cities. It is about 41 miles long and serves downtown Minneapolis and some western suburbs. However some parts of it are crappy and desperately need reconstructing. See Crosstown Commons. It needs help with interchanges with I-94 and I-494/MN 5 as well. In the future it may even need help with its interchange with I-694.
Unless absolutely necessary, take I-35E through the Twin Cities instead of I-35W.
A major interstate highway in the central United States. It runs from Duluth, Minnesota, to Laredo, Texas, connecting the cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Des Moines, Kansas City, Wichita, Oklahoma City, Dallas/Ft. Worth and San Antonio. It splits into I-35W and I-35E in the Minneapolis and Dallas areas. Not a scenic interstate, but few east of the Rocky Mountains truly are.
If you drive I-35 through Minnesota en route to Duluth, northern cities, or cities in eastern Minnesota and Wisconsin on I-94, take I-35E because I-35W sucks Crosstown Commons. If you are going to Minneapolis or going to western Minnesota cities on I-94, take I-35W to I-494 up to I-394 and east into Minneapolis, or I-494 up to I-94 on the northwest corner of the metro.
Lesson: Try to avoid I-35W if at all possible.
Somebody who can be asked how to get somewhere on the road and not even have to think about it before responding with an answer and can name other major cities on the route. Also have everyday thoughts influenced by driving and going places.
Guy: Hey Roadgeek, how do I get from Duluth, Minnesota, to Laredo, Texas?
Roadgeek: Take Interstate 35 south through Minneapolis/St. Paul, Des Moines, Kansas City, Wichita, Oklahoma City, Dallas/Ft. Worth, and San Antonio and you will get there.
