But I-95 has tolls. I-80 does not have any I dont believe.

Also I-80's cities are more spread out to the point most people fly to those cities. I-95 has the NEC, and people will drive it as its closer. I say I-95 has more traffic.

Doesn't explain it entirely but probably worth noting there are several other fairly large second-tier cities along 75 too ..Chattanooga, Lexington, Dayton,Toledo. Not the major factor but one of them.

I thought I-5 would rank higher and I-90 would rank lower. I guess the ports of Seattle and Tacoma have become that important unloading container ships from Japan.

I-35 exploded after NAFTA dramatically increased imports from Mexico. As a kid in the 1960s, none of our food was grown in Mexico, and food was only seasonal then. Now you can get watermelons in February.
