Quote from: vdeane on July 09, 2025, 09:19:54 PMI am not talking about the way renumbering works locally. I am more talking about desire to break long established patterns for no good reason.Quote from: kalvado on July 09, 2025, 01:43:28 PMI don't think this situation is FHWA's fault. From US 6, 1A should be 54B and 1B should be 54A. From MA 3, 1A should be 1 and 1B-55 should not be numbered. MassDOT is just being dumb because they couldn't decide whether it should be numbered based off MA 3 or US 6 so they just said "both", resulting on MA 3 numbers being used on US 6.Quote from: kramie13 on July 09, 2025, 01:13:12 PMBoth sequential and mileage-based exits in theory work great. Real road layouts - with concurrences, TOTSOs, later changes to roads layout... Well, looks like someone at FHWA got a great solution in search of at least a small problem.Quote from: jmacswimmer on July 09, 2025, 12:04:58 PMI also find it interesting that exits 1A-B westbound just after the Sagamore Bridge survived the conversion - are they considered to be based off MA 3's mileage as it begins? It leaves a 55-to-1 jump similar to the Capital Beltway jump mentioned upthread.
Yes, the exits just north of the Sagamore Bridge are now based off MA 3's mile markers. But leaving the Cape, you're still on US 6 when you pass Exit 1A. Exit 1B is MA 3 exiting itself! The "loop ramp" to stay on US 6 west is unnumbered!
Even more weird, if you "continue straight" in both directions, you are "taking" exit 1B, which makes no sense whatsoever!
What's really weird is that this might not stay with MA: NCDOT wants to do the same thing with I-74 and I-77!
