See also: New Hampshire and Vermont.  For years, Chris Sununu resisted switching NH to mileage based exits for cultural reasons.  Vermont has similar sentiments, but compromised with the milepoint exits.  Surprisingly, the resistance has been quiet for the most part among Merritt Parkway patrons.

I saw a rumor suggesting Horner could land at Ferrari in place of Vasseur. Seems like a stretch (and I have no idea whether Horner speaks Italian), but it would certainly be interesting.

I just got a BBC push alert saying Christian Horner has been removed as Red Bull team principal.

Yeah, a lot of outlets are reporting it. Seems rather sudden, honestly. Car is not great this year but still won two races.

Rumor going around that Max is going to Mercedes, and with Honda getting out of the sport, Adrian Newey already departed, I suppose Red Bull is cleaning house.

Not a big fan of Horner but it seems ignominious for someone who's delivered eight titles in the last 15 years.

Road Enthusiasts Meetings / Re: Quad State II: Road Meet B...

I've booked my hotel.  Now it's just a matter of picking a route.  Originally I was doing to dip down to clinch the MD and DC portion of US 29, but that really needs an extra day to do.  Then I was thinking about 322 and 422 in PA, but whatever day gets stuck with filling in clinch gaps on US 340 from the meet tour will end up long, so it looks like I might need to truncate things (especially if I end up with any other clinch gaps to fill).

322 and 422? You would be going past my neighborhood :-) As for me this is a day drive for me so won't have to book anything, still 100% in and willing to help Laura, not sure on Steph's schedule for that weekend yet

The northbound lanes are officially open for businness! https://www.facebook.com/share/v/14JLYwriKop/

Apparently, the only thing not completed is the exits to North Beach. As a result, the old bridge will remain open, at least for a few more weeks.

I have a question for you all.

What are your biggest signage annoyances in Oregon?

Too many in-state control cities on freeway distance signs.

Redding should appear on the three-deck distance signs after Grants Pass. Boise should show up at least by I-82.

The in-state control cities don't bother me, but I do agree Redding/Sacramento and Boise should appear as the long-distance control. I'd even say Seattle should show up north of Salem.

My #1 would be the END SPEED ZONE signs instead of just posting the new speed limit.

Followed by "Ocean Beaches" as a freqent control city for routes leading to the coast from the Willamette Valley.

If I recall correctly, END SPEED ZONE means the speed limit returns to the statutory default of 55. If that's the case and it's consistent, I'm not bothered but I will say a 'SPEED 55' sign is more intuitive.

Ocean Beaches is a bit too generic; the only instance I think it works is westbound US 26 east of Tillamook Junction, as both Tillamook and Seaside are on that initial corridor.
