Control Cities

Here's a novel idea: signing either Topeka or Kansas City for I-70 East at the I-25, I-270, I-225 and I-470 junctions in Denver. No more Limon at major junctions!

I-75 NORTH
SAULT STE MARIE

I-75 SOUTH
MIAMI LAKES

Btw this sign could be posted in Cincinnati.

Now that's just stupid. What about Detroit, Lexington, etc. ?

Is your sarcasm detector properly calibrated?

Your going to sign Detroit for NB I-75 in Cincinnati? What about Dayton? What about Toledo? What about North Baltimore?

I would sign Dayton I was just giving an example of a much bigger city between Cincinnati and Sault Ste Marie. (and I honestly forgot about Dayton)

How could you forget about the sixth largest city in Ohio?

You've probably forgotten things too lol, get off my case.

I totally get his sarcasm it's just pointless in this scenario and it distracts from serious discussion.

[Flint1979]

Starting in Sault Ste. Marie and this is off the top of my head because I have traveled I-75 so much in my life.

Mackinac Bridge
Saginaw
Flint
Detroit
Toledo
Dayton
Cincinnati
Lexington
Knoxville
Chattanooga
Atlanta
Macon
Valdosta
Lake City
Tampa
Naples
Miami

I was wondering the same thing.

Maybe not my ideal list (I would sign Fort Meyers instead of Naples), but besides Lake City the list is pretty good.

[SkyPesos]

I don't know what the 6th largest city in Arizona is (and haven't looked it up yet), but I think I would be pretty close by guessing that it's a Phoenix suburb. There may be other states with something like this (probably a Boston suburb for MA, SLC suburb for UT, etc).

For the last time I understand your sarcasm. It's just not funny at all and I'm not sure how it even came up.

Here's a novel idea: signing either Topeka or Kansas City for I-70 East at the I-25, I-270, I-225 and I-470 junctions in Denver. No more Limon at major junctions!

Yeah that one just went through my head as did I-80 in Pennsylvania. But Limon is a funny one and it's just because of a major junction but like I said earlier there isn't a threshold for size of a control city so Limon isn't against the rules. I think it should be Salina since it's at the junction of US-81.

Limon isn't really a major junction, especially going east.

For the last time? This would be the first time you even acknowledged that I was being sarcastic. It is funny and what's even funnier is seeing you get all worked up over it.

It's arguably more of a major junction heading east.  Yeah, if you're going to Colorado Springs going west, you'd cut off at Limon, but if you're headed towards Oklahoma or Texas, you'd take US40/287 southeast out of Limon.

I actually understood it all along, I was pretending to be clueless. I'm not stupid.

Oh I forgot about US 40 and 287.

It is for US-287 going toward Texas.

See post above. I would possibly sign it going east on I-70 but definitely not going west.

It's a major junction for US-24 WB too going toward Colorado Springs as has already been mentioned too. You made your post a grand total of 21 seconds before I made mine.

I feel like part of the reason it's signed going west is so we're not compelled to sign Denver and Colorado Springs alternatively.

Denver is enough no reason to sign Colorado Springs on I-70 west.

[sprjus4]

It is funny and what's even funnier is seeing you get all worked up over it.

It wasn't funny, didn't laugh once.

[kphoger]

But it's the jumping-off point for traffic headed to Colorado Springs.

That's your opinion. I really don't care.

That's nice.

[Daniel Fiddler]

Limon is too small a town to be a control city.

Unless an Interstate (or toll road) were constructed connecting Colorado Springs to I-70.

Which, if deemed feasible, would not be a bad idea.

[Flint1979]

Limon is too small a town to be a control city.

No it's not. There is no threshold of the size of a place in order to be selected. Limon was selected because it's the junction of I-70, US-24, US-40, US-287, CO-71 and CO-86.
