The Road to Clarity

MN TH-62 is a freeway for most of its length these days. And, since the bridge collapse, TH-280 has also been made into one.

Have y'all seen this site about "clinching" highways? It lets you map the interstates (and business routes) that you've traveled on.

For example, mine:

Ooh, I may have to work on that one one of these days...

[Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008

Don't worry, it took me a few times to get all my data right, and even then something changed and it dropped my I-35 Texas data. I think I have it settled for the moment. Check the error log on your user page, it's helpful.

You need to get out more. :lol:

Ah, Yes, I see that. By the looks of it, just flipped some info around.

You're telling me. :(

Interstate 88 (west) Moline, IL (I-80) to Chicago, IL (I-290) 140.6 mi

Interstate 88 (east) Binghamton, NY (I-81) to Schenectady, NY (I-90) 117.8 mi

Well, that doesn't make a damn bit of sense. I wonder which one was numbered first? I know that Illinois didn't get the I-88 designation until the mid-'80s, when Route 5 became the East-West Tollway (er, pardon me, the Ronald Reagan Memorial Tollway.)

41 goes south into Illinois (and I thought much further), so it won't be a single state interstate.

I knew it made its way into Indiana, but it turns out that sucker makes its way all the way to Miami. And I doubt that 41 would have an Interstate designation outside of Wisconsin, because it functions as a local road through Waukegan and other northern suburbs, then turns into Lake Shore Drive, which has signals (and, oddly, was considered to become I-494 several decades ago,) and then becomes a local road again through the city's south side, into Northwest Indiana.

Also, for your consideration on almost one-state interstates (non-loop or spur category): I-57

New fonts hit Texas!

Interestingly enough, the new signs, when showing other road signs on them, the road signs they display are in the old font, like this:

That's because Clearview hasn't been approved for dark-on-light use yet - only light-on-dark. Thus the use of the current fonts on the route markers.

Yea... I really don't understand the point of having ANOTHER Milwaukee to GB "interstate." I know 41 goes through the Fox Valley where 43 goes up the lakeshore, but why not just end I-41 at Appleton and keep it as US-41 from Appleton to GB?

What will become I-41 has little to do with connecting Milwaukee to Green Bay. It has everything to do with improving traffic flow between the Fox Valley and Green Bay or between the Fox Cities themselves. Someone sneezes wrong and traffic gets bottled up. It is years off, but I can't wait until they get the Appleton-Green Bay stretch to six lanes. They need an additional two lanes just to accommodate the accident gawkers.
