Road confusion 35-E and 35-W

People from out of town and out of state tend to get confused when driving on 35-E or 35-W. When you live in the Twin Cities metro area, these roads are so commonplace, we tend not to think about the fact that they run north-south. However, visitors often think these roads will take them west if driving on 35-W or east if driving on 35-E. Well, if there is any consolation to this road confusion, Dallas, TX also named their split in I-35 the same way. Look at this link to Google maps where the split begins in Denton, TX.
