Title: List of control cities in a metropolitan area
Post by: Some one on May 05, 2020, 10:38:50 PM
List the control cities posted in a city and/or metropolitan area. You don't have to list all of them
i.e in Houston some of the control cities posted are
I-45 North: Dallas
I-45 South Galveston
I-10 East: Beaumont
I-10 (US 90) West: San Antonio
US 59/I-69 North: Cleveland
US 59/I-69 South: Victoria
US 290: Austin
US 90 East: Liberty
US 90 Alt: Stafford, Sugarland
SH 225: Pasadena, La Porte
SH 249: Tomball
SH 288: Lake Jackson, Freeport
I-610: Bellaire

Any others?

Springfield MO:
I-44 E- Rolla (St Louis at US 65) West- Joplin (Tulsa at US 65)
US 65 S- Branson North- Sedalia (formally Buffalo)
US 60 E- Rogersville (Cabool at US 65) West- Republic or James River Freeway
MO 13 S- Nixa North- Bolivar
US 160 S Nixa North- Willard

Joplin MO:
I-44 East- Springfield
I-44 West- Tulsa
US 71/I-49 South- Fort Smith
US 71/I-49 North- Kansas City
US 166/400- Baxter Springs

Kansas City and Saint Louis are an interesting case with their beltways. Their control cities are for the most part the same cities of the next interstate they intersect.

Looking at some of the signs on and near I-229 and its interchanges, I cannot find a single sign with I-229 and a control city. I suppose they would be Albert Lea going North and Sioux City going South.

For freeways / expressways leaving the South Hampton Roads area...

I-64 West - Hampton / Richmond
I-664 North - Newport News / Hampton / Williamsburg / Richmond
US-58 West - Franklin / Emporia
US-460 West - Petersburg
US-13 South - Ahoskie / Edenton
VA-168 South - Outer Banks / Nags Head / Manteo
US-17 South - Elizabeth City

While it would be logical for an outlet such as US-58 or US-17, I don't believe any signage for "To I-95" exists anywhere in the area. I-95 is roughly 60 miles from Suffolk along US-58, and roughly 130 miles from Chesapeake along US-17 / US-64, reaching I-95 about 55 miles south of US-58 near Rocky Mount, NC.

Kind of fun to write this down, I guess, even if many examples are implicitly obvious.

Rochester:
I-390 South: Corning
I-490 West: Buffalo
I-490 East: Victor

Buffalo:
I-90 East: Albany
I-90 West: Erie, PA
I-190 North: Niagara Falls, then Lewiston
And I guess I-990: Lockport is a bit of an edge case.

Syracuse:
I-81 North: Watertown
I-81 South: Binghamton
I-90 East: Albany
I-90 West: Buffalo

It looks like non-interstates do count, but either way, it's a bit irrelevant for NY since so few non-interstates have proper control cities other than at interstate junctions.

Tucson:

I-19 South:  Nogales

Outside the Tucson metro area, but the control city for I-8 West at I-10 is San Diego.

Phoenix:

I-10 West:  Los Angeles
I-10 East:  Tucson
US 60 East:  Mesa/Globe

Interesting that there are no control cities for Loops 101, 202, and 303.

ID-55 North: McCall

I'm waiting for the Chicagoland post...

I mean, with gems like (Directional) Suburbs, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa...greatest Control *Cities* Ever!

When the I-355 Will County Extension first opened, the signed Control on I-55 for I-355 was simply "Suburbs." If memory serves IDOT/ISTHA removed it after the Tribune Traffic Reporter ran a story highlighting how absurd "Suburbs" is as a Control, when one is already traveling thru various Suburbs on I-55

* - although you have to take other routes, in one case 2 others, to get to those cities
Your question marks. For M-10 Southfield is correct. For M-8 it just says Davison Freeway no control city. For I-96 the wording, "Downtown Detroit" is used for the eastbound Jeffries at the Southfield.

Rockford (NB) and St Louis (SB) also make appearances for 355.

Rockford is signed for the I-80 exit to NB 355. St Louis is on an overhead BGS on the northern section of SB 355 between 290 and 88

I believe Des Moines is still signed on one or two BGSs on I-80 WB near I-57

O'Hare appears as a Control on I-294, also

If "To Toll Road" and "To I-80" count as Controls for 65 and 355, respectively, then Lake Shore Drive needs added to the I-55 list, as that is the NB Control between the Dan Ryan and LSD

Unless this sign has been recently replaced (https://goo.gl/maps/pqYGV9mHAZTahtqGA) there's one for Des Moines.

There's also at least two appearances of "Gary Indiana" (https://goo.gl/maps/pMDi2zZupQqpgMvf7) and one with just Gary (https://goo.gl/maps/F18GsAB1vXtrNKAV9) for I-80.

I guess with 165 from I-20, it's hitting the next parish in both directions. Bastrop at least has some size to it. I agree with Alexandria for 165 south. Because Monroe is signed from Alexandria north.

US 167 from I-20 is just as bad. Dubach? Really?

For Boise (excluding cities in the MSA like Nampa and Caldwell; ):
I-84 East: It's a split between Twin Falls and Mountain Home
I-84 West: Ontario
ID-55 North: McCall
ID-55 South: Winnemucca
ID-21 North: Idaho City

Anything I didn't list doesn't have a significant non-local control city, eg. US-20/26 just use Notus and Parma.
I-84 west should use Portland.
Part of me thinks it should, but at over 400 miles away, and with a significant number of people bailing onto I-82 to head towards Seattle before then, I'm not sure it's the best choice. If Pendleton or La Grande were larger, they would be ideal, but they're not really big enough to be long distance control cities (no better than Ontario). So you kind of just change control cities every 50-100 miles on I-84 (Portland is listed on some, but not all, control city signs west of Ontario), which isn't ideal but works fine I guess.

This is why I'm a fan of the idea of consistently using 2 control cities. Portland could consistently be signed, along with Ontario, Baker City, La Grande, Pendleton, and The Dalles, depending on where you are. Some signs have 2 and kinda do that, but many signs just have one control city.

Slight addendums: Gary has (or in the case of I-80 eastbound between I-355 and I-294, had) some representation. It is mentioned as a control on Indiana 912 at the easternmost Toll Road interchange, and has its only mention on I-65 northbound at I-80/94 (and even then, that’s only for westbound traffic).

Also, I think Indiana 912 north/west had Chicago as a control city when exiting Ameristar Casino in East Chicago before the bridge closure. In these cases, it’s fleeting mentions, so not a big deal.

Las Vegas, NV - Cities in [brackets] are secondary, or only listed on intersecting streets and not on the mainline. There are not many pull-through signs on Las Vegas area freeways, so this isn't super extensive.

Burbank (used in round robin with Glendale and Pasadena) on US-101 east approaching CA-134 east
Simi Valley is also used on either I-405 or I-5 as it approaches CA-118.
Valley Boulevard for I-710 north

I think THRU TRAFFIC is also used on CA-91 west at I-110?

No, Kingston is the Control City from Toronto. Oshawa is a destination along the way.

Well, it is still true that Kingston is used east of Oshawa! :)

It actually seems to be a bit random as to whether control cities are even used for the 401 within the Toronto area. The Don Valley and the 427, for example, don't sign any control cities at all, only the direction. However, Kingston is used in some locations west of Oshawa, such as on the 412 and (fittingly) on Hwy 2A/Kingston Rd.

Do you remember when 70EB used Lambert Airport as a control city and 40/61 used Forest Park as one? This was way back before 64 made it out to Wentzville.

Brandon, I am surprised you missed one secondary control city for I-80 in you city of Joliet. Gary, Indiana! In fact, it is used at every interchange between I-55 and the State Line except for Houlbolt Rd/Hollywood Rd, I-355, US 45 La Grange Rd, I-57, I-294, IL 1 Halsted St, I-94, and IL 83/US 6 Torrance Ave (last one does not use any control cities).

Also, US 20 at Rt 59 does use Elgin as a control city.

O'Hare is used, with IN, on I-294 southbound in Lake Co IL. Some signs on NB 294 in Cook/DuPage have O'Hare.

Exit 68 B, at IL 53 northbound has Northwest Suburbs, not 'North'.

And secondary Rolling Meadows/Schaumburg for A&B.
Being a bit picky, since I haven't seen any 'north suburbs' signs in area, anyone else maybe ?   :confused:
