Except what the standard said was "At least two Lanes in each direction"
to be a interstate. So the median where the drainage ditch runs would
be to the left of Shoulder # 1 or Right of Shoulder #2 depending on your
orientation. I would guess when Nathan said landing on the center he
meant between the 2 lanes not in the median.


Exactly.

One caveat to all of this: Since most interstates exhibit asymetric
shoulder widths - it would be tough to judge the actual center of the
pavement. You can't just land in the center of the two traffic lanes.
