A few updates, some rants and other observations of Delaware Roads - late 2006. So much for the new "Delaware 141 Spur" being an actual spur. Instead the "Spur" is a relocated Delaware 141 mainline. Why is it so difficult to get the nomenclature right in the state of Delaware? If the road was an actual spur, it would not be considered the Delaware 141 mainline, especially with Delaware 141 [...]
Day three involved a short excursion into Charleston, North Charleston, James Island, and the Battery. Entering Charleston via Interstate 26 eastbound, new signs for the U.S. 17 Arthur Ravenel Bridge adorn sign bridges along the freeway. Compare this image to that from 2004. South Carolina 700 (Folly Road Boulevard) splits from U.S. 17 just west of the Ashley River. South Carolina 700 spurs southward [...]
Day 2 involves a ride east to Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, North Carolina to check out the fairly new South Carolina 22 (Veterans Highway) and 31 (Carolina Bays Parkway) freeways, Myrtle Beach itself, and the new Interstate 140 in Wilmington among other things.

We opted for a non-Interstate routing from High Springs northward through Lake City, Homerville, Jessup, and Hinesville, Georgia. That allowed us to see some new roadways, garner a few more counties (we do that obsessive thing too!), and check out a few U.S. highway ends for Dale Sanderson's U.S. Highway Ends I won't bore [...]
Tyler is a regional center in east Texas, with an area population of about 100,000. The city reminds me a lot of other cities - Tallahassee with its horrible loop, Wheeling with its little unexpected skyline, Kansas City with its unexpected hills. Here is a quick look at the goings-on in Tyler, Texas. Future SH 49 Toll corridor sign An incarnation of this sign has been sitting [...]
For many years people have wondered for what the AA in AARoads.com stood? Well here's the answer, All About Roads. Our sites strive to cover roads anywhere and everywhere, from future Interstates to rural back roads and everything in between. What started out in 1997 and 1998 respectively grew into an eight-domain website collection covering roads from Hawaii to Maine, from Los Angeles to New York, and more recently from [...]
