- Americans take our highways for granted, because getting around America was a massive pain before the interstate highway system was put in place. Nolan Sykes explores the history of roads in America, and how President Dwight Eisenhower’s past shaped today’s U.S. Interstate highway system.
About WheelHouse:
WheelHouse answers all the questions about the automotive world you never thought to ask. Nolan Sykes looks at the history, sociology and psychology behind the cars you love, and the features you might overlook.

Hey Nolan, you forgot to mention that the reason why interstates have long turns in them instead of just being long straights to a certain town or place.. Its to keep people awake and not fall asleep behind the wheel.. And why theres a minimum of a 2 mile straight every 10 miles.. So planes can use the highway in case of an emergency and they need to land..
Logan Merryman that second part is a myth
In Switzerland, it is common knowledge there are portions of its highway system designed for dual-use motor vehicle traffic/military plane runway. There are even hangars built into mountain sides by the highways for such military use. In a small country, one must make use of what one has available.
Switzerland is a nice city in Germany
I thought the interstate was famous for having very long straight, the autobahns ( and almost every European motorways ) have long and smooth curves
Edi Pires There was another video on this. Autobahns were more expensive, the US Method was modeled after this but it was cheaper to have more straight than all the curves. The Germans also had thicker pavement whereas ours is much thinner.
Interstate numbers ? Easy.
Odd: north and south decreasing east to west.(95 in east, 5 in west) 5s go border to border.
Even: east and west decreasing north to south. (90 in north, 10 in south) 0s go coast to coast.
Even prefix number to interstate ( i.e.470) goes around cities
Odd prefix number (i.e.581) spurs into cities becoming surface street.
Got it...?? 😏😎
Yup 👌👌👌
Yap
There are some exceptions as 20 starts in Texas and reaches the east coast in South Carolina
thanks for the info! the more you know🤙
Then you have the I-38 in the San Francisco Bay area. lol
4:46: "as Hitlers army shriveled back into Germany like a cold foreskin"
WHAT.
He's alive you can't deny it.
This was the best part
Ramp Shark ummm no
Not a single word on the Route 66??
why not route 666
miger64 the gamer flight 666
There actually was a route 666 I’ve been on it they changed it to 19 tho lol lame
Is that you, Guy Fieri?
I was going to upvote this comment, but it's currently at 66, which is where it needs to stay.
That editing is just so pleasant to look at
Stefan Winter except Akron was too high
Odd Number freeways run North to South with lower odd in the West (i.e. I-5) and higher Odd in the East(i.e. I-95)
Even Number Freeways run East to West with lower even numbers in the South (i.e. I-10) and higher even numbered in the North (i.e. I-90).
Auxiliary highways that are triple digit numbered and usually have the primary number in it.
example in SoCal.
I-5: I-105, I-405, I-605, I-805
I-10: I-110, I-210, I-710.
Even numbered Auxiliary highways go around the city while Odd numbered goes through a city.
GGRTL1 except for circle freeways.
“_Even numbered Auxiliary highways go around a city while Odd numbered [go] through a city_”
To clarify, the ‘even’ and ‘odd’ digits referenced are the first digit of the three-digit Auxiliary highway.
An Interstate numbered 350 (hypothetical, nonexistent) would be classified as an _odd_ numbered auxiliary highway, despite its nature as an even number in all other uses.
It’s mostly correct that the even digit Auxiliary highway is routed around the city but I’m pretty sure in some cities the mainline Interstate is a bypass around the city and an even-numbered Auxiliary Interstate serves the city center.
It is mentioned above that odd-numbered Interstates run through a city. This is mostly correct. It should be noted, however, that Auxiliary Interstates with an odd first digit usually only intersect the parent route or any other Auxiliary routes of the parent route once.
For odd-numbered routes that run through a city, it’s usually a spur that ends in the city at local streets or at another highway. Examples of these include both Interstate 395s in Baltimore and the District of Columbia (separate highways).
Odd numbered highways occasionally don’t run through a city but instead connect one mainline interstate to another. An example of this is Interstate 380 in Pennsylvania, which begins at Interstate 80 and ends at Interstate 84 east of Scranton.
Auxiliary highways can also never intersect the parent route but instead intersect another auxiliary of the parent route, in which case the same rules apply. In New York, for example, there’s Interstates 278, 478 and 678, which, while none are technically connected to I-78, all are numbered due to their connections with each other.
The auxiliary highways around Indianapolis and Baltimore are odd though? Know why?
@@michaelweathers1853 like I-465 and I-865 in IN?
Could you guys make a Wheel House video about Kei Cars.
I second this
Good idea.
What's a kei car?

Not everything I've ever bought has come in on the interstate.
I'm pretty sure I made sure to have the most of the cocaine delivered by airstrike.
6:42 its funny that you should mention that. The city where I grew up had its main highway built back in the 50s and 60s, I-40 came through when I was a baby, and my dad once told me that the highway was halted because of farms holding construction workers at gun point because they were building through their farmland.
@Nunya Business No, that's not stupid. The federal government wanted to take their property away from them, that's why we have the right to bare arms.
@@floridianrailauto9032 Other countries have laws and judges
@@floridianrailauto9032so did they keep their farmland in the end then? Or did the guns end up not working?
I think it is also important to note some of the horrible things brought about by the interstates. Entire thriving neighbourhoods and communities of mainly poor and minority people were razed to make way for highways. This happened in Detroit and Boston, among other cities. It also brought about suburbanisation and car dependence which have wrecked havoc on the country and the environment.
I remember when I was younger, my Uncle telling me about how when he was my age, he remembered seeing the end of the current interstate construction in california, and I was just so awestruck as a kid, because it just boggled my mind that it was that new
Finally a video without an intrusive Pep Boys ad in the middle. THANK YOU!
I am glad that I am not the only one that is getting tired of the Pep Boys adds in these. They are really starting to get ridiculous.
I enjoy the pep boys ads
I have TH-cam Red, I forgot what TH-cam with ads is like 😂
The videos are sponsored by pep boys, so they have been intergrating them into their videos. I don't normally have a problem with videos being sponsored, and I understand people have to make money, but it's been getting ridiculous.
Owen same that’s my work!!
I love how the Interstate map didn't have I-35 #IFeelForgotten #LeftOut
Eric Rovelo It isn’t actually the correct map. It’s just giving a rough estimate of where there are interstates but doesn’t show them directly.
maybe it would be recognized if the State of Texas would finish the dang thing and it weren’t under construction 24/7
I-44 and I-49 are not showcased either. My city is surrounded by the 2.
@@xDTHx I-44 is the highway that goes past my town. Rest in peace, even though it ends at I-70/55 50 miles later...
@@MrQuinnzard I-44 basically runs across the whole country though it changes names. I thimk technically it starts in Tulsa or OKC runs through Joplin, Springfield, and I think ends at St. Louis.
“California number 1”

Y'all are obsessed with straws, huh?
We still have straws foo. lol
naw, just killing turtles.
California does suck. Too many laws
Dude how I wish I could leave a liberally ingested pro-socialist state...
4:48 that was so smooth I wasn’t sure if I heard that right. Best TH-cam car channel keep up the work guys!
Primary Interstate highways have one or two digits. Odd numbered highways run north-south, while even numbered highways run east-west. Highways with numbers divisible by five are major highways which run most of the length across the country. Numbering of odd numbered highways increases from west to east, while numbering of even numbered highways increases from south to north. This is opposite to the system used by the older US Highways to prevent two highways with the same numbers from running through the same states. For the same reason, there is no I-50 or I-60.
Auxiliary Interstate highways have three digits and serve areas which the primary highways run near but do not serve directly. The last two digits are the same as those of the parent highway, while the first denotes the type of auxiliary highway it is. Odd first digits are used for spurs, while even first digits are used for beltways and bypasses. The one exception to this numbering scheme is I-238 in California, officially an auxiliary of I-80 (all other x80 highway numbers were already taken).
" which is why you'll see some highways that just emd awkwardly...like most of my dates". Bro, you ok?
Edit: "...like most dates." -> full quote
Well at least he still has his dad... I hope?
You edited this?
One of my favourite Donut videos in a while, Nolan's killing it lately!
There are the following proposed and concept future interstates and they are:
I-6 will connect from Laredo Texas to Corpus Christi Texas.
I-9 might replace CA-99 from I-5 in Mount Wheeler to rejoin I-5 & I-80 in Downtown Sacramento in California.
I-18 will connect from Dallas Texas to Lafayette Louisiana.
I-28 will connect from I-26 in Columbus North Carolina to Wilmington North Carolina to replace I-74 & Spur I-74.
I-31 will connect from Wichita Kansas to Lincoln Nebraska.
I-32 will connect from Tuscaloosa Alabama to Texarkana Arkansas.
I-36 will connect from Memphis Tennessee to Chattanooga Tennessee, via Huntsville Alabama.
I-42 will connect from Cary (Raleigh) to Morehead City in North Carolina.
I-48 will connect from Tulsa Oklahoma to the junction of I-55 & I-155 in Hayti Missouri.
I-50 will connect from I-65 near Bowling Green Kentucky to Chesapeake Virginia.
I-53 will connect from Baton Rouge Louisiana to Little Rock Arkansas.
I-54 will connect from the junction of I-69 & I-169 in Nortonville Kentucky to I-64 & I-75 in Lexington Kentucky.
I-60 will connect from Colorado Springs Colorado to Springfield Missouri.
I-62 will connect from I-64 in Winchester Kentucky to I-77 in Beckley West Virginia, via Virginia.
I-67 will connect from Tallahassee Florida to Montgomery Alabama. &
I-92 will connect from I-29 in Sioux City Iowa to I-90 & I-94 in Madison Wisconsin.
I'll build them all in Google My Maps
Love these videos! Keep bringing us the good content!
PLEASE DO THE **CARBOYS PLEASE**
I love this channel. There is always something new to learn with every episode y'all make. You guys rock!
awesome episode as always. really like that this show is slowly getting its own aesthetic
Wheel House is one of the best Donut shows, keep up the great work!

The autobahn would like to have a word with you
autobahn is just connecting entire Germany, and Interstate is connecting east coast to west coast of US, that is just the same length as berlin to Moscow.
Dandi Rifki Maulana I had to Google that. Berlin - Moscow are almost 1250 miles and la to new York are almost 2800 miles. As a German I have too say the Autobahn isn't that impressive it's a bit overhyped
Carl Moist it gets on worse shape every year and if they continue to do nothing our bridges are first to fall apart.
Luca Grundmann also bei uns ist Autobahn mäßig alles in Ordnung (a3 wûrzburg - Frankfurt) , das Problem sind eher Landstraßen und Straßen Innerorts um die sich nicht gekümmert wird. Hier gibt's bald mehr Schlaglöcher als Blätter an den Bäumen.
The US interstate system is waaayy larger than the autobahn. The autobahn can't even compare.
Fucken ayyyy Nolan!!! Kicking ass today! Showed a friend this video because he didn’t really believe me about how the roads were being built.(i had a paper done on this lol)
Now about those speed limits...
1) Nobody follows them anyway
2) America is too big and sparse to ban idiots from driving or raise driver standards, therefore speed limits are a necessity for safety.
Once self driving cars exceed human performance and become affordable to buy, then we can increase driver standards or ban human driving entirely. When every vehicle on the road is following the road rules and are automated, we will be able to remove inefficiencies in the road system without compromising safety.
@@yanDeriction
Actually we have to ban self driving cars
I mean... They can't ticket what they can't catch
You can't outrun a radio.
VEDEM RACING in Texas we go up to 85 but you won’t get pulled over unless you go above 90
I love you guys Videos, nice lil Team drop at 6 mins. Bet it would've been louder if ya hadn't played the Ravens last night! ;-) Aww Im just bustin chops! On with the content!
On behalf of the city of Akron, yes we have been hitting the gym.
Best show on Donut thanks Nolan!
History of pepboys would be nice
This video explained literally everything I wanted to know about the history of the interstate system.
Craaaaaawling eeeeeaann my skeeeeeeeeeee
That was instant like
RIP Chester... yes I'm that guy
IM LOSING MY MIND BC OF THAT!!!! also RIP Chester
Funny how this channel can make an otherwise boring history lesson really fun and educational to listen to. Thank you!
Good well-done vid.
Plz make more informative videos on highways and motorways plz I love them.
No speedlimit on the Nebraska interstates, I could benefit from that hell yuh Nolan
You are by far my favorite member of the donut media crew. If you want to have a mini series on heavy equipment/ships you should definitely hit me up.
This show is the best part of my Monday. I HAAAAATE MONDAYS
Wheelhouse > Science Garage
Ricardo Gutierrez tbh the host of science garage is so annoying and condescending
@@realkevintorres Dude tell me about it, Nolan actually tells a good history lesson but that other guy makes his videos like as if we're retarded
Agree. The science garage host is fucking annoying and cringy
7:22 Thanks Donut, lol.
Interstate 35 splits twice, in both the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul
and again in the Metroplex of Ft. Worth and Dallas.
Interstate 35W is found in both Minneapolis, Minnesota and Ft. Worth, Texas.
Interstate 35E is found in both St. Paul, Minnesota and Dallas, Texas.
WheelHouse is Donut at its finest and one of the best shows on TH-cam no doubt.
Deeemn, that was a good episode.
Thanks for the shoutout, go Huskers
im amazed you havent run out of topics
7:41 the Pepboys on Americas ave. and Socorro road in El Paso! Next to Valero and Sonic. Smells like new tires.!
Road trips in the Mazdaspeed3 must have been amazing
Funfact about the German Autobahn:
The Autobahn ist actually a real defensive street...
Some parts can work as an obstacle against tanks while other parts can be a improvised Airstrip.
It was made during the cold war to stop the Russians, but it still works today
1:51 YEEEEEEEESSSSSZS DO MOAR LINKIN PARK STUFF
I was fascinated with the whole interstate system and how it came into being when I was growing up. And these days when I go on road trips I try to stick to 2 lane highways as much as possible.
I remember in Milwaukee they scrapped the street car line and began construction on the right of way for I-94.
nice vid
do up to speed yugo or lada
Thats up to speed tho
They suck ass
You mean down from speed ?
You mean down from speed ?
Already liked for the Golf Country in the thumbnail
Yay he mentioned Nebraska!! Go Huskers!
never noticed the pep-boy's connection, very subtle
Woo Nolan! Go Huskers! #GBR
Could you guys make a video about RUF in Up To Speed?it sounds great
This would make a good series.
Diggin the speed3
thanks for the shoutout to Nebraska
Interstates that go east to west generally end with even numbers, while interstates that travel from north to south generally end with odd numbers (based on their designated travel direction, not based on where the interstate actually goes)
example in new York: I-95 and I-87 go north to south, I-90 and I-88 go east to west.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe the numbers also come from the roads longitude and latitude on the Earth.
I believe you are mistaken. None of the freeways by me do that.
then you probably live somewhere that has lots of 3 digit highways because that’s not he same for 3 digits but also not all freeways are interstates, highway 1 that’s goes from Maine to key west fl isn’t an interstate so I think u might be talking about regular freeways but also most regular freeways do that too so idk if u live in like Canada or somewhere else
Never noticed that
Now this is a great fucking video! Thank you!
Love seein the speed3
These pep boys ads are amazing
UP TO SPEED: BRICKLIN SV-1!!
its a wild story!!
This definitely should be interesting
The Lincoln highway goes right through my town in Illinois
Didn’t Montana technically have no speed limits for a brief period in the 90s?
Next... Up to speed - Daihatsu Mira
Aka the blue turd
yes!
Blue turd was a Cuore though......
They better include in that video the cat pressing a red button GIF, it's from a Mira commercial
I dont know about it so yes!! Z
I live on the Lincoln Highway in a small Ohio town it’s not to busy here
Montana had no speed limits on the interstate for many years.
Do an up too speed on the Prius
Is my boi Nolan really a Steeler fan? I wholeheartedly approve.
Thank you Nolan!! (for saying Nevada correctly)
whenever someone says "ne-vaw-duh" or somethin i wanna nuke them
Lol we just increased the speed limits here in Nebraska on the highways. People might see nothing, but we get to go faster than all of y'all😂
Nolan looks like a normal kid with a big body :)
There making a new highway here in Oklahoma and it looks like a rally stage. It’s crazy!
An episode on Route 66 would be so cool!
In the thumbnail the car picture is on I-20 on Abilene-tye area in texas
3:45 Damn is Pep Bros old, they've been everywhere
You know I was watching this with my family in the room, and once 4:47 came around. They slapped me.
Do a video on the history of valet and detailing
heyyyy
can u make a video about datsun 120y / b210
How America Runs On Dunkin' | WheelHouse next. Thanks.
Yes! Can someone please show this to Nebraska's governor. After my speeding ticket I have to avoid it on my road trips
Carl G. Fisher is very famous in Indianapolis to this day. He helped build the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, he’s in museums, history books and documentaries. Most people learn about him in grade school.
Literally watching this while driving down i75
north/south interstates end with 5, in increasing order from west to east (i.e. i-5 on the west coast from san diego to the canadian border) and i-95 on the eastern seaboard) and east/west interstates end with 0, in increasing order from south to north (ie. i-10 from los angeles to jacksonville and i-90 from seattle to boston) 50 and 60 are left out to avoid having the same designation as local state highways
I’ve seen so many videos on this, I tried watching another but I just couldn’t.
How about a video on “What ever happened to pop-up headlights?” You could call it “The Rise & Fall of the Pop-up Headlight.” LoL :)
This could have been a fun tidbit to add: "Thomas Jefferson directed his Postmaster General, Gideon Granger, to vastly expand the U.S. road system under the guise of building the post roads. His real motive was to make it easier for federal agents (postal appointees) to monitor the travels of his Vice President and arch-rival, Aaron Burr, as he made his way around the country seeking allies in a bid for independent power." - "Trains, Planes, and Automobiles: Reinventing Transportation Law" by Richard L. Hermann
I would say Pepbros of life but we don't have one here :(
Yup easy to drive state to state but try going from valley to the bay through 580 30 min drive become 2hours plus
Nolan, I just drank a quart of milking to myself, thinking that this video wasn't long enough.
Video on #pepbros4life please:p
Up to speed with MAZADA ESPEEDeh 3!!! Please do it! I will die without it. I need the video to support my lungs! I have vertigo!
Do farmtruck next
Ay Nolan!! ... Who Dey!
