And so, congestion pricing will begin in two months. There's no going back now.

I believe there is a pending case in the US District Court in Newark and that the judge has promised a ruling well in advance of June 30. So never say never.

Never.

Heh.

Never.

Likewise, I don't think of a 40 mph arterial with three hundred traffic lights as a "speedway".

Depends on how they time the lights.

Nevada's contribution:

Where the interchange is with a city street:
I-80 Exit 13 at Virginia Street

And a short distance east of there, the APL setup at a freeway interchange:
I-80 Exit 15 at I-580/US 395

Exits with an option lane are quite plentiful in Southern Nevada, so you can find lots of examples here too, like this one from I-15.

Can of Worms completion date pushed back a year, likely because of the human remains discoveries last year. The state refused to answer any questions about that subject at their update announcing the construction delays.

I watched the movie Civil War, and they had a BGS that said I-95/I-78/GA 80 - Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and the BGS was in the Georgia style. Obviously the movie was filmed in Georgia, but they could have at least used a keystone shield.

Mexico, DF in Mexico. 

It is not Mexico City, but the City of Mexico as it's called Mexico City only to avoid ambiguity with the nation.

BTW DF is Districto Federal translated to Federal District in English. Just like the US, Mexico has states and a capital that's not in a state jurisdiction. Instead of DC it's DF, but both are districts for sake of government.

The first time I saw "D.F." on a map, I was a kid and the map didn't extend as far south as Mexico City. It cut off around Monterrey and one of the roads had an arrow next to it with the words "Mexico City D.F." As a kid, I had no idea what that meant. I concluded it must have meant "down further" because the arrow was pointing down off the bottom of the map.

Arkansas City in Kansas and Texas.
The former is named for the Arkansas River it lies on.
