The mileposts and sequential exit numbers on the New York State Thruway mainline originate from New York City, increasing northward on I-87 and westward on I-90; [57] as a result, the mileposts and exit numbers on I-90 through most of New York run backwards compared to the federal preference for mile-based numbers increasing from west to east.
