When your wife buys lunch at a museum cafeteria, and doesn't notice the prices, and gets shocked by the total.

I wish I had "doesn't have to read the prices" money.

Call me Darth Vader the way I'm following the flow of traffic.

unless you count I-4 Olympic Fwy in GTA

GTA V is California-based, and I-4, based on I-10, very much is a freeway.

This was posted today...a  live feed of the demo/reopening progress:

Traffic is moving in what appears to be the eastbound direction. Other side still has a few more hours of cleanup and road striping I'd say.

Is the speed limit on that entire route only 50 mph?

Wasn't paying attention. However people in Florida like anywhere else, don't look for those signs and do whatever.

I was in the exclusive express lane on nearby I-275 doing 70 where I saw it was 60. Some guy behind me was outraged and when I passed the Gateway Expressway on ramp as he then misused the acceleration lane for a passing lane to pass me as if 70 mph was a school zone speed limit and I was too slow.

Mr. Rothman, what time of day did you drive in Manhattan? Maybe 7am on a Sunday morning?

Mid-Atlantic / Re: Delaware

It looks like Delaware has a color detour system for the 896 interchange project in the style of Pennsylvania's.

The detour requiring turning around at the Biden Welcome Center is much more interesting IMO.

The detour doesn't go through the welcome center, it goes up to DE 273 and turns around using the loops at that interchange.

Regardless, I went through there on Sunday and didn't even pay attention to the signs around the welcome center and 273.

Classic example, but still wanted to bring this up to the front.

Dixie Freeway. A road named FREEWAY, in Florida of all places (unless you count I-4 Olympic Fwy in GTA ). It's not even a freeway...
