Does the number assigned to the road matter that much?

I mean, there is an organization to it. Odd numbers go north-south, evens go east-west, numbers go higher as you go north and east, and major ones are numbers divisible by 5. The system is honestly pretty good at keeping with that ovrall, and I could think of a few better ideas than that

Yes I'm aware. Does it matter that much? Especially for a road that seems to go diagonally more than anything?

Would it have killed them to (for example) just call it I-22 from Dallas to Texarkana, then continue I-49 from there? I think the main point of controversy is that this is a very short interstate given a number that would normally be used for a much longer one within the system - for no real reason.

IDK the people or whoever must have wanted there to be an i30 above other trade-offs.

Why Interstate 30 is THE SHORTEST Major East-West Interstate | Should it Be Longer?

Wouldn't that be socialism?
