Yes, that's correct! In the United States, interstate exit numbers are generally assigned based on the distance from the beginning of the highway. For interstates running east-west, the exit numbers increase as you travel east, while for interstates running north-south, the exit numbers increase as you travel north. This system helps drivers orient themselves and find exits more easily while traveling. Additionally, specific exit numbers might also correspond to mile markers, which further aids in navigation.
Interstate exits are numbered so that they go up as you travel east and north.
