CT:
Rest Areas on I-84, I-91 reduce hours, only open 2 hours per day, due to budget cutbacks

Don't get me started on those stupid rest area hours. "Building closed 2:30 PM - 7:30 AM"? WHAT?!?

We were never expecting NY to ever reach 75 mph speed limits. If Oneida hadn't split from New York, the state would have a 75 mph speed limit. Even I-84 in Oneida has a 75 mph speed limit. And, no, I'm not getting into politics about the West Point scandal and where the New York-Oneida state line should have been drawn.

I don't get it. Is this a joke?

Oneida is a fairly new state; it was called "Upstate New York" until the mid-2020s.

What is the border between Oneida and New York?

Every proposal I've seen for upstate secession has it called New Amsterdam.

"NY-400 Proposal Extends Freeway to I-390 in Dansville as I-185"

"I-85 Redesignated to Current US-219"

"Beltway for Buffalo? Excessive Eminent Domain for New Thruway-owned Toll Road Has Longtime Residents of Suburban 50 and 75 Year Old Homes Furious."

"New Beltway May Command Tolls of over $30 One Way"

"With Thruway Still Stuck at Eight Lanes from Hamburg to Clarence, Pressure Increase for Speed Limit Increase to 70 MPH."

Which is absolutely ridiculous, because that was the Dutch name for New York City. The colony as a whole was New Netherland.

By 2064 I could me a moderator of some sort just because I would be approaching 47 years on the forum.

Caltrans removed the last of its urban surface-street reassurance shields this week, stating that if anyone needed to navigate the formerly marked roads, they could use the new "Route Me Hard, Caltrans" app, available for Windows X-60 and up for the nominal download fee of $49.95; an Apple app will, according to the Caltrans talking head, be available in 8-10 weeks.  That same "spokesrobo" stated that with the price of sheet aluminum approaching $70.00 per pound, this will save the agency about $18 million annually!

Sometimes I feel like the only roadgeek who doesn't own or know how to drive a stick, and isn't particularly interested in such.

I feel like admitting to it might almost be a mark of shame here, but... I don't know how either. You're not alone.

I keep thinking you guys are the same person.

I have actually had a similar experience.

Up until a couple of months ago, IIRC, I didn't know that you were two different people (similar ages, similar avatars and regions, similar names). Finally, I noticed the differences and realized that you were not the same person, and overtime since then I have become more skilled at the differentiation and memorization of who is who. 

We have the same first name in real life too, so I don't think you're too far off base.

And I'll just add that it's one enormous coincidence. I made up this username well before I was ever on this forum and knew anyone or anything about this place. (Check the date on my imgur account if you don't believe me. )

Wow, what a coincidence! 

That is very interesting!

NY considers lowering to 55...

CT brings back 40 MPH urban freeway speed limits, and debuts it's new holographic reflective button copy BGS's.  The Aetna viaduct has been demolished in Hartford, and I-84 becomes a city street with at-grade intersections passing through the city.  As a result of the state government's out of control spending habits, all numbered routes (including SSR's and SR's) are now tolled using AET.  Unless you have a CTPass transponder, which is not compatible with EZ-Pass and charges a $10 a month service fee, you'll receive a toll bill in the mail, along with a summons for toll evasion.  Each road has a gantry every 1/2 mile that charges 50 cents a hit.

Yet they still refuse to put the word "Limit" on the new signs.

I actually like the Oregon style sign because it emphasizes what's important the number of the limit. A sign at state entrences exposing our signs would be helpful and needed.

Compromise: Idaho Style: numbers are halfway between the scrunched letters on normal signs, and the super large letters of the Oregon sign. It also contains Speed Limit on it.

I could see a topic being: Cars being banned in Oregon. In this case, the speed limit would be your running speed.

Oregon doesn't use "LIMIT" on some of their signs because all speeds below 55 are, from what I can tell, suggestions, at least on roads that aren't in cities, school zones, or on interstates (from 2003, hence the large number of "SPEED LIMIT" signs now prevalent in those areas). Exceeding the posted speed outside of those areas is apparently legal, so long as you can prove that the speed you are going is "reasonable and prudent".

Someone who is more familiar with Oregon law should follow up my post, because I'm only 50/50 certain that what I wrote was correct.
