Limon is not as bad as a control city as people make it out to be.

One of the control cities that people make fun of the most is Limon, CO. This is because of its dismal population and memetic status created by YouTuber Control City Freak. However, I don't think it's as bad as people say it is.

First off, it's got a couple major junctions, specifically heading westbound on I-70. Though it is only signed eastbound and not westbound. These major junctions include US 287, US 24, and US 40. This is an argument alone for westbound, though like I said, it is not signed westbound.

I think it is also not as bad as people think it is eastbound, as there's just not that much out in western Kansas. Hays has a major university and Salina is where we meet I-135, but they just do not match up with control city status to me. Limon isn't that control city worthy either, though like I said, people shouldn't make fun of it, especially when you consider it is where the interchange with US 287 is.

I still don't agree with the choice, I think it should be Topeka eastbound on I-70 out of Denver. It's also OK on US 24, because that's where it becomes concurrent with I-70 for a good portion.

The dumbest way they sign it though is on the random spur routes and state highways in the Denver area, come on!  :-D

C'mon, man...how many threads on Limon do we need?  Just for starters:

The answer to my question is zero and this comes across as someone who just wants attention by bringing up a well-worn topic.

This is a legitimate argument. I'm sorry if I'm being rude here but if you were bothered by this post, why did you post anything at all?

That in addition to conspiracy theories, demanding replies, anti-transit rhetoric (which SP Cook is also on about) and being a general stick in the mud.

Although, I'll give him some of that Sacramento stuff.  There was a couple diamonds in the rough there.

What would you say is worse. Limon? Or K12's posts?

What is Rothman's problem? He's not an MOD, yet he worries way too much about people's posts on here like he was.  He even took time out of his schedule to prove a friend of mine quoted verbatim an Al article on social media to make it look like I did it for his attention theories scenarios.

Yes he was right about what someone I know did going on social media and telling me verbatim words from an article as hey friend was trying to impress me with roads ( sorry but autism isn't limited to here).  So he did used exact words from an article then.  However to search every Al (as I'm sure Google won't come up with total articles that accurately), is as nuts as the Limon thing. So ole Roth is obsessed or the author of social media Al.

Maybe Rothman is the one seeking attention and not PNW.

The only thing new in this go-round of talking about Limon, the Daylight Savings Time of control cities, seems to be that people want PVP enabled this time. Nope.
