I found that exits with mileage numbers pretty strange the first time I noticed it on a long road trip. On entering a new state, “wtf, why is this exit number so high?”
But I thought they were finally renumbered for consistency. Maybe it’s just a generalization though, states I’m familiar with have been renumbered over the years
It’s been a lot of years, but I thought it very strange going from Maryland (where the exit numbers corresponded to mile numbers) to Delaware (where they didn’t, but I don’t know if they do now).
Of course, but in the olden days you could cross a state (0n the east coast) and have the high exit in the teens or twenties, vs having the high exit in the hundreds

Even if it wasn’t based on mileage, one side would still start with the highest number.
