Travelers Tip: Interstates ending in odd numbers run north and south. Even numbered interstates run east and west. Most South Carolina interstates use a mile-marker exit numbering system, where the exit numbers correspond to the nearest milepost - running south to north and west to east determined by the distance from the state line.
