Pondering Interstate Highways
I thought I basically had the interstate numbering system figured out, but I wasn't aware that you could have 2 highways with the same number in different parts of the country. An example, I-84 star...

I, too, am interested in such trivia and the facts around our roads. Here is a link I have in my favorites folder:
Interstate Guide
History, pictures, specifications, listings by route number, etc. Enough to keep you occupied when you're not planning your next camping trip,
There's a similar page for US highways:

In the "old days", there were interstates named I-80N (like in Portland, OR) and I-80S where I-80 was split into two different routes. They did away with the N and S designations and the result was highways like I-84 in OR and I-76 in CO plus others. That's part of the reason there are split routes as originally noted by the OP.

I still call the Banfield Interstate 80.
It has been Interstate 84 for 34 years now
