They did greatly expand the hours of the I-95 Hope Valley rest area/welcome center... it may be 24/7 now.  Considering it was closed for several years, the fact that its open again is well above Massachusetts (see Mansfield MA).  The one on I-295 NB is a visitor center and is still open as far as I know.  The southbound one is not, being very overgrown and abandoned.  That one's been closed for at least since the 90s.

Also, I noticed that RIDOT has removed the "Old Exit XX" tabs from most of the I-95 signage.  They are definitely more on top of this than MASSDOT.

How common are "Old Exit Number" signs that are still attached to renumbered exit signs in Massachusetts? The old exit number signs on renumbered exit signs are only supposed to be up for two years after the conversion, but whether due to incompetence or laziness (among other reasons), some old exit number signs don't get removed in a timely manner.

Unless an accident took it down or a new sign project has occurred (like US 3), every other "old exit XX" sign is still up in Massachusetts. I am pretty sure that is how they're coming down, just like PennDOT did.

It's Rhode Island, so of course something like this could happen.
