Welcome to the city of Walnut Grove-Shelby Farms PD, Tennessee....


CNGL-Leudimin

Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Appologies for the language, but seriously, Google is so stupid now. This is unreal, people!
Finally upgraded to Expressway after, what, seven or so years on this forum? Took a dadgum while, but, I made it!

US 250 near Fairmont WV has been upgraded to I-250
I saw that today.  It stretches from Charolettesville VA to Uhrichsville OH.

To avoid the embarrassment of being an April Fool, Google will now have to create an I-50 as well. I recommend converting US 6, the northern terminus of 250.

This freeway segment of PA 309 is all messed up with some yellow segments: https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=40.348899,-75.256691&spn=0.129256,0.308304&t=m&z=12

And upon zooming out, you'll notice that PA 309 from PA 378 to the bottom part of that freeway segment is all chopped up. I wonder what causes it to display this way: http://goo.gl/maps/L13In

With that second error, that's definitely not the only place where that happens. Some examples:

NJ Turnpike: http://goo.gl/maps/uAIqO
GSP: http://goo.gl/maps/6JqHU
http://goo.gl/maps/6JqHU (SE of Mahwah)

It all seems to only display that way at that same zoom level.

Palisades Parkway too.  Here's a better link for the SE of Mahwah one. http://goo.gl/maps/IgIAy (You copypastaed the same link twice.)

Not an incorrect highway, exactly, but Google has moved US 98 in Canal Point, FL onto the nearby railroad tracks: https://maps.google.com/?ll=26.857717,-80.635765&spn=0.001625,0.00327&t=m&z=19

Nice. (Un)fortunately it won't route along the tracks.

I just had to explain to my father why I-369 is not signed in Kentucky, at least I'm pretty sure it isn't or else I'd see it mentioned here. We'll be taking a trip next month to...oh what's that town...oh yeah Walnut Grove-Shelby Farms PD, Tennessee.

And in a reversal of the US 98 error above: N. County Line Road near Centerburg, Ohio marked as "Conrail Railroad"

Ooh, not only is that not a railroad, its not even the right railroad! Conrail was merged into CSX and NS in 1999 and now only exists as a terminal railroad subsidiary in 3 cities.

And this is why whenever I want to clinch any highway with a routing that's not dead-straight, I go to people's websites to confirm.

It also shows US 98 along Old Conner Highway, which is only FL 700, and has been that way since around 2008-09.

Yeah the routings of everything are really messed up around there. I've found that Florida as a whole is horribly riddled with errors on Google, but the area around Lake Okeechobee is particularly screwed up, and very difficult to figure out due to a bunch of changes in recent years, and a general lack of either roadgeek site coverage or actual usable streetview imagery.
I do believe I've gotten everything correct though:

SR 812 is a recent addition, going west from "Runyon" to SR 715 as part of a truck bypass of Belle Glade.

You also left out CR 700 (and of course left SR 717 and SR 880 unmarked, though the latter is actually signed as CR 880).

Also note that SR 15 is signed through Belle Glade to SR 880 (which used to be where SR 80 left the current route).

For an area with a population of around ten thousand people, there's been an unusual number of detail changes in numbering within that region during the past 25 years.

In the background you can see where SR 15 starts:



(I think we'd also determined that this CR 880 shield should technically be an SR 880 shield, at least for about a mile or so, and then be a county-route shield again.)

And here's the SR 812 sign (there's an un-related CR 812 near Lake Worth and Lantana, same county, different location).

Just added this. Is it new construction or the existing road going west from the intersection of US 441 and US 98?

QuoteYou also left out CR 700 (and of course left SR 717 and SR 880 unmarked, though the latter is actually signed as CR 880).

Yeah, the fact that part of 880 is an SR is indicated by the portion of it with a thicker line, I just figured it would be redundant to include a second shield, especially since the majority of people can't even distinguish between the different shield types anyway. Where are 700 and 717 though? It's been a while since I did the bulk of my research in that area.

QuoteAlso note that SR 15 is signed through Belle Glade to SR 880 (which used to be where SR 80 left the current route).

Added an SR 15 shield.

Thank you very much for the corrections, and thank you formulanone for the photographic evidence!

The existing road.

CR 700 continues SR 700 southeast to CR 880. It's the old main road before SR 80 was realigned off CR 880.

SR 717 is the diagonal state road in Belle Glade, running from SR 715 to SR 880/CR 880.

Also SR 80 is consistently signed along US 27 and US 98-441.
