If you go to Houston on Google Maps (map view) and zoom in to some of the freeways, you will see a green circle with a number, and sometimes a letter and a number, in it.

At first I thought these were bus routes but after looking them up on Metro, they don't appear to match up.

Any ideas?

Yep. I confirmed it on the Google map of Austin. They're exit numbers.
