It's 2014 and I still can't believe that.....

[Mergingtraffic]

1) I-95 in the Bronx is still only 6-lanes east of the Major Deegan (I-87).

2) original signage still exists on the US-40/former I-170 in Baltimore.

3) I-95 is only 4-lanes in eastern CT and western RI.

4) I-710 still isn't completed.

5) I-95 has a loop ramp to stay on itself just south of Boston.

add yours to the list.

[Zeffy]

6) There isn't an interchange between the PA Turnpike and I-95 yet. (Oh they are working on it... slowly... surely... eventually it'll be done...)

7) The US 206 Bypass in Hillsborough isn't complete yet.

[hotdogPi]

8) Electric cars aren't common.

9) People still call I-95 "128".

9 3/4) I'm not a wizard yet.

10) Red light cameras and speed cameras still have errors.

11) FritzOwl's Interstate plan is not complete.

[adventurernumber1]

12) The Atlanta outer beltway has no progress on it whatsoever (it's been a proposal for decades, and the Atlanta area is sprawling quickly. C'mon GDOT, at least work on the northern arc  )

[algorerhythms]

13) it's not butter.

[Arkansastravelguy]

13) Breezwood still exists

14) There's an I-99 and it's not on the Delmarva peninsula

16) Virginia's General Assembly agreed to allow 70-mph speed limits.

(16 rather than 15 to account for the duplicate 13s further up the thread)

Personally, I'd take doofy's #1 off the list.  Given the context and right-of-way constraints/costs, I can very much believe I-95 through the Bronx being just 6 lanes.

#13 (first one) for the WIN.

[Gnutella]

17. I-76 in Philadelphia and I-376 in Pittsburgh haven't at least had their interchanges redesigned.

18. GA 316 hasn't been upgraded to a limited-access highway.

19. I-5 in California, I-35 in Texas, I-70 in Missouri and I-85 in Georgia still have long segments of only four lanes.

[NE2]

In before we don't have flying cars.

#8 I can believe.

18 - . . . the USA is still stuck 'popularly' using a mish-mash of measures that don't relate to each other and don't progress in powers of 10 (don't go from scale to scale by moving the decimal point).

19 - . . . the US 12 corridor is not the major route northwestward out of Chicagoland (towards Madison).

20 - . . . there is still not a complete free-flowing four-lane road corridor running southwestward out of NE Wisconsin.

21 - . . . the I-80/90/94 interchange in NW Indiana still uses the raggy old 'ticket' tollway interchange to make its turns.

18  - the USA has not replaced the PLSS with a kilometer grid and moved all the roads to match.

Fixed for you.

21 - . . . the I-80/90/94 interchange in NW Indiana still uses the raggy old 'ticket' tollway interchange to make its turns.

Well, something's happening at that interchange. I'm not sure if they're improving geometry or just replacing a bridge, but there is currently no bridge on the ramp from the Chicago-bound Toll Road.

22- that the Interstate-to-Interstate connections at the northern end of I-65 require doing at least a 360

23- that the I-74/80/280 interchange in Colona, IL is still a cloverleaf

24- that the US 127 freeway north of Lansing, MI is still not complete.

[Charles2]

25) I-22 is still not complete between Birmingham and Memphis

26) There's still not a limited access highway leading towards Panama City

27) A viable solution for the gridlock and congestion on US 280 in Birmingham's south suburbs hasn't been developed and implemented

28) I-55 northbound still has that hairpin curve in Memphis

[Ned Weasel]

29) E-ZPass still isn't accepted west of the Mississippi River.

[Pete from Boston]

29½.  We still have little buildings in the middle of the road to collect tolls.

I can't believe people want to replace a perfectly good binary system of linear measure at great cost when the market would have done so long ago were it practical.

Personally, I'd take doofy's #1 off the list.  Given the context and right-of-way constraints/costs, I can very much believe I-95 through the Bronx being just 6 lanes.

I can't believe people in 2014 still think you can build any highway to any capacity in any surroundings.  This is a perfect example.  If you lived through a generation and counting of simply modernizing the BQE, you get some idea of the magnitude of rebuilding the Cross Bronx (never mind expanding it).

#13 (first one) for the WIN.

Agree 100%.

[rschen7754]

30) that I-95 still is not complete.

[NE2]

3) I-95 is only 4-lanes in eastern CT and western RI.

The I-95 corridor is mostly 10 lanes between New Haven and Boston - 6 for express traffic via Hartford and 4 for local traffic via Providence.

[cl94]

31) Most of the northeast uses sequential numbering
32) NY 17 exists north of Harriman
33) I-99 doesn't have a direct Interstate connection on either end
34) I-90 east of Cleveland remains under construction

[Zzonkmiles]

35. I-95 through South Carolina is still 4 lanes wide for almost the entire route.

36. There are still 55 mph speed limits in areas where traffic typically moves 15 mph faster than that.

37. I-485 around Charlotte is still not finished.

38. Gas is "cheap" if it's under $3.20 a gallon.

39. Left-lane hogs still exist.

40. I-26 in South Carolina has yet to be widened to 6 lanes.

[Joe The Dragon]

41 The skyway and IN tollway still have gates in the ETC only lanes even at the unnamed ramps.

41.5) MTA facilities in New York still have gates in E-ZPass-only lanes, as does the Peace Bridge in Ontario

[Pink Jazz]

42. Some states still don't allow the installation of logo signs in urban areas despite the MUTCD including provisions for them since 2000.

41.75) The Ohio Turnpike also does, if I recall correctly.

43) Plans to build I-73 outside of the Carolinas STILL haven't progressed.

[OracleUsr]

44.  I just lost THE GAME
45.  US 64 still exits to itself in Williamston (where US 13/17 split off)
46.  Any state uses Clearview
48.  That I skipped 47

47.  It's cheaper to fly out of RDU than PTI
49.  That signs in Greensboro now say PTI-GSO airport.
