Wow, this will simplify learning where all the main 2di's go. This is amazing.

And so is this.

I have this map hanging on my living room wall in poster form. It is a really cool creation!

Wow, I really like both versions, Interstates and US Highways.

Some of those city choices are weird.  No Burlington on I-89?  And what the **** is Fineview?  I had to look that up on Google; it isn't mentioned on I-81 and I didn't even notice it there the one time I was on that part of Jefferson CR 100.  Alexandria Bay or Clayton would be more accurate, or if you want the northernmost US exit on I-81, DeWolf Point.  The Canadian Point there should be Hill Island or Ivy Lea (or Landsowne, it's what the customs plaza is named after), not Selton, which MTO has never heard of and Google doesn't want to find (but will if you force it to not autocorrect to Felton).

And what the **** is Fineview?

it's a font designed by the Alanland Highway Department in conjunction with various places of higher learning.  it's approved only for dark-on-light applications, is universally considered to have passable numbers and ugly letters, and its effectiveness when viewed by retroreflective goats is disputed.

I remember that there was a picture where los angeles freeways were drawn in subway map form.

That would be this one. I don't really like the design though...

Does nobody call the 405-22-605 interchange Malfunction Junction anymore?

One nice thing about this map is that it very clearly shows where there are missing movements on freeway to freeway interchanges.

What an awesome find!
