I don't know what's worse in the picture I posted. The tab being in the center of the plate or the ugly plate frame they have around it covering up the words Michigan and Wonderland. I'm going to go with the tab being in the center of the plate because you can remove the plate frame but now you just ruined a perfectly nice license plate there.

I found 3 PA 522 shields along US 522 NB between PA 655 and McConnellsburg.  I know that I know at least one SB as well.

I know of a taxi that has four visible stickers: 20/21/22/23. For those not familiar, registration is only every two years in Massachusetts. They can't continue it past four in a row, though; renewing it now would give them a 25 sticker, not a 24 sticker.

As long as we’re bringing our personal anecdotes, I’ve never had a QR code not work and I can’t remember a time that happened to anyone else I know.

Also, I’m not sure where “rip-off” came from, because they don’t cost you anything.

Some are connected to certain apps that you have to buy. They're not a fortune, but even if they didn't cost a thing, it doesn't make sense to get those things hoping that you'll get the info you're looking for and then nothing happens. It doesn't matter if you're looking for the menu at a restaurant, or when the next bus or train is coming, or anything else.

Then the rip-off is what the code links to, not the code itself. This is the same as saying “hyperlinks are a rip-off”.

Well, there's the rip-off to taxpayers. Spending all this money on technology that does nothing just so you can do away with paper schedules.

Because printing and distributing paper schedules is free?

I'm not sure that's a legitimate argument? Riders need to know the schedule (except for frequent routes) so if paper schedules are going to be replaced, the replacement needs to at least function correctly

Finally, somebody else gets it!

A well-designed app has both a good User eXperience (UX) as well as a good Customer eXperience (CX). The GoPass app on my phone allows me to plan my travel across Dallas's DART, Fort Worths Trinity Metro, STAR Transit, and Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA), see the busses and trains on a map, tells me if the bus/train is running behind, and even allows me to purchase a morning/afternoon/all day ticket.

Just a question: why does overtime exist in basketball? It would be pretty easy to implement "continue until the score is no longer tied" as part of the fourth quarter, which would typically take less than two minutes after the clock hits 0.

For comparison, the NHL does it (a goal scored in overtime ends the game immediately), soccer depends on the league, the MLB has it as much as it can with teams being unable to score at the same time, and it doesn't work in the NFL because it's a lot easier to score 3 points than 7.

Probably because of the nature of the game and "first one to score a basket in the 5th quarter wins" is a huge advantage to whoever gets the ball first.  It'd be pretty silly.

Not the 5th quarter. No break in action. It would be a continuation of the fourth quarter. No change in possession happens when the clock hits 0 (unless a basket just went in to tie the game, in which case the other team gets the ball like they always do after a basket is made).

Thanks Froggie. I can add Illinois and Iowa to the Indiana update.
Iowa. 6 lane from Cedar Rapids to Iowa City. The 6 lane at Iowa City is being extended a little West and about 10 miles East.
The New 74 Bridge is done and most of 74 is now 6 plus or will be.
Illinois The 90 Tollway is to Wisconsin and it's fully lighted.
80 is being widened in Joliet area
57 south of 64
And more of 55 around Springfield
Finally more of  80 and 39 north of 88 are looking for funding.

Of course, the interstate map misses the six-plus lane portions of US-101, CASR-99, CASR-58, CASR-41, US-50, CASR-60 (as well as, perhaps, many others).

Agreed for freeways in general, which I do also agree is a more important metric given several freeways contribute to regional and long-distance travel, although the map is specified to be interstate highways only.

Yeah, Some irony was, for instance, CASR-99, until "basically all" of the freeway gaps were closed in the late 1990s, had six-lane sections in areas where it wasn't freeway (through Turlock, for instance) that were bypassed by 4-lane freeways.
 

Here's one for the bad and ugly. Your tab is supposed to go in the lower right corner not in the center of the plate.

Well in general it seems that the Governor prefers to builds roads from nowhere to nowhere through nowhere. 

I can't believe that it's possible legally or politically for the governor to spend $700 million on a road to nowhere, especially in the face of other urgent priorities. WTF, Alabama?

I suppose it makes it harder to find the wasteful spending if you hide it in the boonies.

The section of I-65 that probably needs six lanes the most (Blount County line to Hartselle) would be the most expensive to build, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Also between Exits 231 and 238 at the minimum. Currently a huge bottleneck forms on I-65 south at exit 238 cause the right 2 lanes in the 8-lane section become exit only and peel off the mainline. Local communities and the state/federal government are working together to put together $200m to make this project happen (much of the cost is bridge work that needs to be completed, 4 pairs of dual carriageway bridges between these aforementioned exits that'll probably be built to accomodate 8 lanes like the 2011 Pelham to Hoover widening, and the extra width inner shoulder elsewhere for that future 4th lane each direction). And if they have some extra Rebuild Alabama money to spend in the congestion relief sector extend the 6-lane to AL-25 (exit 228), and restripe 238 to 231 as a 8 lane.

Not 50.
