Quote from: okroads on April 24, 2024, 04:11:08 PMI'm a little surprised that the Turner will not be the last to go cashless as it is the most traveled rural turnpike in the state and believe the plan was for it to convert last. There was an accident at one of the toll booths near Stroud recently, and I wonder if that pushed the Turner Turnpike to convert earlier than originally planned.I believe this was always the plan from day one whenever that was.

To get that finished, they would also need to address the stuff north of I-40, and quite a few more things to the south, not "just" the ones you listed.Quote from: vdeane on April 24, 2024, 12:53:43 PMAnd what of the part north of this interchange? There's even a traffic light.That signalized intersection will (eventually) be replaced by an interchange. I was talking about the part from US 95's East Junction with I-40 south through Wikieup to just north of Wickenburg.
Quote from: jdunlop on April 24, 2024, 08:42:15 PMWhy not loop ramps with C/D ramps?Quote from: sprjus4 on April 22, 2024, 11:00:12 PMQuote from: cowboy_wilhelm on April 22, 2024, 10:19:47 PMI agree... I can understand the ramps for redundancy, but 2 lane flyovers seem a bit excessive. Well... at least they will never be congested!Quote from: ARMOURERERIC on April 11, 2024, 08:37:28 PMI don't get the need for full access at all 3 interchanges.
I was wondering this as well. Who is going from I-40 westbound to I-74 westbound or eastbound, or I-74 (either direction) to I-40 EB? There are no plans to continue the beltway south/west, right? Seems like a massive interchange for very little traffic.
FHWA requires full movement at all Interstate interchanges (with very few exceptions) hence the redundant ramps.
NCDOT standard design for flyovers is two lanes because widening the structure later is nearly impossible.

I still have it after all these years, even though at this point the odds of me doing anything in C are slim to none. The C language does have a certain elegance that many other languages lack.
Quote from: Scott5114 on April 22, 2024, 10:27:16 PMI pull it out and read it cover to cover from time to time, even when I'm not planning on writing any C any time soon. So many modern languages (especially the two I write the most code in, Perl and PHP) lean so heavily on what C does, that it's helpful to refresh my knowledge of C even if I'm not writing in it.Hey, I actually printed out this book to self study! I'm amazed at how it also teaches you to be a better programmer (like avoiding magic numbers -- replace fixed constants with symbols, so it's easier to change these constants later) while teaching you the language. Obviously some of it is outdated, namely anything involving floats being simplified with C99.
Quote from: formulanone on April 24, 2024, 02:39:54 PMI found a silly item in my profile that won't seem to go away.
The username info in the Skype field doesn't seem to fully disappear; you can remove it, but then it eventually comes back after any profile changes.
I forget if I ever actually filled in that information because I haven't used Skype in over 10 years.

So you're allowed to trespass before 10 pm? That wouldn't be trespassing if it's allowed, would it?
Quote from: Amaury on April 24, 2024, 04:12:05 PMThis is on US Route 2 at the Idaho and Montana border. I don't think I've seen a sign that actually said state line: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZbUjEXdFeByQtAuR8
Much more commonly, it's a unique welcome to the state sign, as seen farther up in that capture. Sometimes, it's also a generic "Entering State," like at the Washington and Oregon state lines in a couple places, such as the Interstate 5 bridge between Vancouver and Portland.

They even created his own topic! It all reads very familiar.
Interesting that when P13 was on this board, they branched off into football and "floorball" scheduling -- but on that board, P13 never branched off into road geek stuff (I will admit that I didn't read every post)
