Highway Trick

Have you always had trouble remembering the numbering system for highways?  Is it the odd numbers that run N/S or the evens?

I've never been able to keep them straight before--but now with new and improved Compass Diagram, remembering is all too easy!

Just imagine that you're looking at a compass rose--this thing:

But instead of NESW being around the compass points, imagine that you're looking at this instead:

                                                                                  1
                                                                                   |
                                                                     4  _____|_____ 2
                                                                                   |
                                                                                   |
                                                                                  3

Do you see?  The odd numbers line up N/S and the even numbers E/W.

So all the odd numbered highways go North/South, and all the even numbered highways go East/West.

Tada!

Now you too can enjoy the Compass Diagram for absolutely free!  (donations strictly encouraged)
