Birmingham people need to stop calling it 59/20. Some dumbass traffic engineer up that way started this and got all the local media to go along with it but their reasoning is dead-arse wrong.

The first completed interstate (59) does not go first…why in the hell do you think every cosigned roadway in America does lower number shield then higher number shield? 75/85, 20/59, etc.

You know what, you're right. When I speak it out loud I always 20/59 and that definitely sounds more correct, but James Spann wrote 59/20 on his caption

Glad someone finally found the guts to hairpull rant on account of this outrage.
Correct pronunciation and speaking in correct numero logical chronology in this country is abhorrent.
