Brandon Rubow explains the U.S. interstate highway system, focusing on its numbering conventions. Odd numbers indicate north-south routes, while even numbers indicate east-west routes. Three-digit numbers denote branches, with even first digits indicating reconnection to the main route and odd first digits indicating no reconnection. The video also covers specific examples, such as the Twin Cities area and the split of Interstate 35 into 35W and 35E.
