Roadgeek Memes

Caltrans be like:

More like the California Legislature and it's opinion that; state, US Route, and Interstate Highways are the same thing.

One of the drawbacks of term limits -- no one sticks around long enough to learn jack shit about such matters -- or how not to misinterpret arcane state regulations.  They're too busy trying to figure out what their next official capacity will be once their three-and-out is up!

PennDOT added some information on the future of the 95revive project beyond the Girard-Cottman section... sort of.

I just saw this meme about the I-81/NY 17 interchange on Facebook.  When I saw the post, I instantly thought of this thread.  I'm too lazy to rehost the image, but it should be visible without having to login.

It's visible to everyone.

Because Texas.

Funny, although even funnier is that the photoshopped image, I believe, is the interchange where the 110 and 105 freeways meet in LA.

The photoshopped image is quite prolific at this point, but I guess my roadgeek humour would have appreciated a photoshopped Texas interchange. Kind of a deep-cut meme at that point, I guess.

I have a Thomas Bros. street atlas and a street guide (a pocket version of the street atlas) of San Francisco, both dated 1953. Despite the many accolades given to them about their cartographic prowness, I have found several omissions on these maps: the Stanley St. extension (built 1952); the Alemaney St. overcrossing to Junipero Serra Blvd. (map pg.14); Pier 50 (Mission Rock) extension (completed 1950); and the cojoining of Piers 30 & 32 (built 1951). I realize this is a site about highways/freeways, but it pays to cross reference with different maps, as they can contradict each other even though they may be of the same area and date.

Unless this is a copypasta I'm not aware of, you're in the wrong thread.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the Thomas Bros. street atlas–

Those who have driven the Fort Pitt Bridge outbound in Pittsburgh will relate to this...

Charlotte uses it on I-485 (a much larger loop) as well.

I saw this last night on r/Syracuse and thought of this thread:

A real-life game of Frogger on I-277 in Charlotte

Not being terribly familiar with Charlotte, I looked this up in GSV.  For those like me who don't understand, just before this exit is an interchange between I-277 and US 74, another freeway.  Two lanes of I-277 from the left merge in with two lanes of US 74 from the right.  If you are coming from I-277, and you want the 12th street exit, you have very little room to make two lane changes.

This is the best practice out there for a certain Facebook group that insists on it.
