Total guess on my part, but by any chance does it use 1) if the number isn't
separated by whitespace from something preceeding it, but 2) if it is?

This would make a traffic report for example read correctly:

The traffic on I-84 is moving at 60 MPH.

Where you'd want I-84 read using 1) and 60 using 2)
