Interstate 11 alignment, though Vegas and points north

[Max Rockatansky]

The best we can hope for is the completion of the original Phoenix to Las Vegas route.

Assuming it was completed between Phoenix and Reno, would there be much of the time saving of using a theoretical I-11 from, say, Tuscan to Portland?

I can see long haul traffic using it to connect from Tuscan to connect to I-40, then to CA 58 and I-5, bypassing Los Angeles. If they were to take it up to Reno, they would have to stair-step through the Donner Pass.

Last I heard there wasn't a single place to rent in all of Tuscany.

It is, of course, spelled Tucson. And no, I am sure the city and its people are nothing like they're portrayed in this Family Guy clip (and I love Family Guy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clqXS4fEjBo.

Elaine and the Maestro certainly insisted there wasn't anything but Jerry did find a place through Mr. Giggio.

I've heard a rumor that conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson is going to purchase the naming rights to the City of Tucson, and change its name to Buckley (after his son).

Is this what passes for conservative humor these days?

Is he also going to move the whole city to somewhere in Vegas or points north?

Probably more likely Russia.

That would surely shorten future I-11.

What if we dropped it directly on top of Goldfield? Then Esmeralda County would have a reason to exist.

I-11 freeway entrance packages have been installed at Rainbow Boulevard (NV-595). Advance and overhead signage is still just US-95. NDOT's phasing of I-11 signage installations continues to mystify.

[Max Rockatansky]

I saw some I-11 shields on southbound MLK Boulevard yesterday afternoon.

[cl94]

NDOT did a social media blast last week saying that I-11 signing should be complete by the end of the year. So it will be soon. No word yet on any of the other (likely) upcoming jurisdiction transfers/ number changes in Clark County.

[Sub-Urbanite]

How's the I-11 sign project in Vegas going? I know the shields are up in a lot of places but are the BGSs getting replaced yet?

[Scott5114]

Most of the reassurance shields, intersecting-road shields, and intersecting-road LGSes have been changed on the portion north of I-15 (I don't get down to ex-515 very often). There are one or two assurance assemblies where US-95 is shown alone, and BGSes are still pretty spotty. I-11 is still not shown at all on northbound I-15, for instance.

One interesting thing is that Cheyenne Avenue (NV-574) somehow got a single state-name I-11 shield, complete with a brand-spanking-new blue SOUTH banner in classic Nevada custom font. Every other interchange I've seen just got FHWA Series banners and neutered shields.

I wonder if the post office will object to the confusion it might cause with Buckeye, AZ

What sort of cruel parent would name their kid Buckley?

There is a YouTube channel I used to watch called ADoseofBuckley.  (I think it was the guy's last name).

I guess that I could also say what sort of cruel parent would name their kid Tucker?  The grade school jokes write themselves with that one.

Where at? Street View was through the Cheyenne exit in March and I can't find it.

[The Ghostbuster]

I didn't see such a sign on Street View, either. On an unrelated note, has anyone ever heard about the deadly crash on Cheyenne Ave. in 2022?: https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/north-las-vegas/driver-in-crash-that-killed-9-traveling-in-excess-of-100-mph-police-say-2521066/.

It's the sign at the—you know what, I'll just go down there.

Five days old, it looks like. Knockdown replacement, maybe?

[Max Rockatansky]

Watch it end up on eBay in five days.  As much as I like California style freeway entrance sign assemblies they are way too low to mitigate shield theft.

[Scott5114]

At least one set of I-11 shields has been stolen (someone posted a photo of the empty poles to Reddit and tagged NDOT), so I wouldn't be surprised.

The mastarm sign here has been updated as well, unlike many of the others (including the one on the other side of the bridge). That would be considerably harder to steal. (You can also see in the background that the northbound ramp is currently just posted for US-95. More NDOT mysteries.)

Even with the CA style entrance assemblies and other signs that frequently go missing, signs from Nevada almost never appear on eBay. Very annoying.
