Exit 2 A-B: Pelham Parkway East/West
Exit 3A (SB ONLY): I-95 SOUTH TO I-695/I-295 Throgs Neck Br//Stillwell Ave
Exit 3B (SB ONLY): Baychester Ave//TO I-95 NORTH New Haven

Personally, I want to see them do a serious overhaul of the Hutch-Pelham-I-95 triangle. And I still want disconnected service roads from Pelham Bay Park Subway station to Co-Op City along I-95.

Exit 20: NY 120A SOUTH Rye Brook/Greenwich (Merritt Exit 27 will be CT Exit 1.  GET ON THE BALL CTDOT)

Honestly, I'd rather the interchange just settle on one number.  If that means NY converts and CT just uses the NY number if/when they convert, so be it.

Who's going to win that political battle though? I would sooner bet on 20/1 than either state conceding.

This is precisely why the milage shouldn't reset at the border.  The highway historically leads to Boston, the numbers should be continuous.

I always assumed that the only reason it was different in the first place was because CT didn't feel like renumbering CT 15 when the Hutch was renumbered.  Given that it's with NY 120A, I would think a NY number would be most logical, but if numbering it 1 for CT is what would allow a consistent number if CT ever renumbers CT 15 to mile-based, I'll take it.

This is precisely why the mileage shouldn't reset at the border.  *snipped*...the numbers should be continuous.

If such philosophy were applied to every highway in the country; there would be some very high-numbered interchanges in the northeastern part of the country.

Once above 100 - which is normal for a mileage-based approach - it shouldn't really matter.

Until you hit 1000... but we would be well into the thousands for roads like I-90 and even I-95.

So what? I don't think exit 28-05 sounds much worse than exit 355.

I can see it now:

Exit 3017A: South Station
Exit 3017B: I-93 North
Exit 3017C: I-93 South

[ipeters61]

I can see it now:

Exit 3017A: South Station
Exit 3017B: I-93 North
Exit 3017C: I-93 South

"Come visit our new location at South Station!  Exit 3017A off the Mass Pike."

Exit thirty-seventeen A off Masspike. Or call one-eight hundred - seven-six-four-...
Is there a real problem?

So... it does matter if you care about the extra digit.

[vdeane]

Remember, at a certain point, it becomes harder for people to memorize numbers.  Four digits plus a possible suffix is pushing it.

Also, imagine if I-90 were realigned with Washington or something, affecting the mileage.  Then every state to the east would also have to replace mile markers and exit numbers.  I doubt that would go over well.

Yeah, I agree that sequencial exit numbers are better. But unfortunately....

NYSDOT installed the first of the mile-based exits on 84:

[D-Dey65]

So they didn't change Exit 20N into Exit 68B yet?

And what will Exit 21 be?

[jp the roadgeek]

So they didn't change Exit 20N into Exit 68B yet?

And what will Exit 21 be?

Exit 69.

If you were to continue mileage based into CT, almost everything would remain unchanged through Danbury up to Exit 8 except Exit 1 would become Exit 1A, and Exit 2 would become 1B EB and 1 C-B WB. 

[KEVIN_224]

I'm guessing space is one reason, but is there a reason why Exit 21 (69?) is a "half" exit? (westbound off and eastbound on)? Maybe that road couldn't handle the extra traffic it would pick up?

I'm surprised the contractor isn't using the latest standards for exit tab design.

It's NY. They don't have standards anymore.

[vdeane]

I feel like this photo captures the current standards for exit signage fairly well (aside from the centered NY 55 shield) (at least for participating regions/projects): http://nysroads.com/photos.php?route=tsp&state=NY&file=101_9117.JPG

I drove through about two days later, and the 20N exit was replaced with 68 B. Exit 69 (NY 121) has also been replaced.

Which standards to you mean?

NYSDOT's standard sheets. In this case, the contractor has followed NYSDOT's standards for mounting exit tabs.

[crispy93]

Thought you guys might get a kick out of this, NYCDOT or NYSDOT replaced these signs a few weeks ago and with a 295 shield in place of a 278 shield.
