The area served by numbered avenues runs from about Marble Cliff to South Linden to the Airport, and the area served by numbered Streets covers Downtown and nearby neighborhoods to the east and south, with only a few exceptions. There are quite few intersections between numbered Streets and Avenues. Furthermore, named streets and avenues can have any orientation. For example, while all of the numbered avenues run east–west, perpendicular to High Street, many named, non-numbered avenues run north–south, parallel to High. The same is true of many named streets: while the numbered streets in the city run north–south, perpendicular to Broad Street, many named, non-numbered streets run east–west, perpendicular to High Street. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Highways">Highways</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Columbus_metropolitan_area,_Ohio&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Highways"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Columbus is bisected by two major <a href="/wiki/Interstate_Highway_System" title="Interstate Highway System">Interstate Highways</a>, <a href="/wiki/Interstate_70_(Ohio)" class="mw-redirect" title="Interstate 70 (Ohio)">Interstate 70</a> running east–west, and <a href="/wiki/Interstate_71_(Ohio)" class="mw-redirect" title="Interstate 71 (Ohio)">Interstate 71</a> running north to roughly southwest.
