Indianapolis has 4 Interstate Highways: 65-69-70-74 (plus 465).
The OP is counting each one twice. I wonder if the OP thinks New Lisbon, Indiana has two Interstate Highways? I-70 to Indianapolis and I-70 to Dayton, Ohio?
Indianapolis would be much better off today if they had NOT run 65 & 70 thru the center of the city.
I-465 could have been upgraded to carry more traffic around the city rather than thru the city.
Southern California has 5 interstates, 8-10-40-5-15. It is not the "crossroads" that Indy is because it is blocked to the south by Mexico, to the west by a big pond and has to deal with mountains. Also most of Southern California's growth came after the Interstae Highway System was planned and built in the 50s & 60s.

Indy currently has 4 separate Interstates, you're correct, with 2 more new ones on the way in 2 years. What I meant to say was that there are 9 different directions you can take when exiting Indy, and all of the are interstates.

And so does Kansas City, what's the point exactly?

Indy currently has 4 Interstates (65-69-70-74) with 69 being expanded to the south.
What are the two new interstates on the way in two years?
Yes, Indiana is the "Crossroads of America." Welcome to Indiana.........that area of land in between you and where you are actually going. Enjoy your stay.
How about Indiana: On Your Way to Somewhere Else ?

We don't need them. ABQ's I-40 & I-25 are wide enough and very efficient and The Paseo del Norte Freeway (NM 423) takes traffic over to the Westside and Rio Rancho. No need for a loop, we got enough sprawl and the Big I interchange is good enough for any directional transitions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_I).
Technically Arizona doesn't have any three digit auxilary interstates either, even though it has several state controlled freeways around Phoenix. However by contrast Burlington, VT has I-189 which is more or less a glorified offramp so really having auxilary interstates or lack there of is rather arbitrary.

Los Angeles has a lot of different interstate highways running through the city(as does the Bay Area)--though most of them are spurs or connectors of other interstate highways(the 405 or the 110 and so on).
And many of them aren't "interstates" at all: US 101, CA 2, CA 55, CA 57, CA 60, CA 91, CA 118, and CA 134 are all major freeways in the LA/OC area.
The Bay Area, in addition I-80 and various 2- and 3-digit interstates, has US 101, CA 4, CA 84, and CA 92. among others.
