Minor things that bother you

[Max Rockatansky]

I would imagine both named sections in this discussion were likely viewed favorably at a local level when designated.

You do realize there are those out there who aren't Kennedy or the pantheon of Mount Rushmore enthusiasts?  I dunno, just seems unhealthy to be fixated on what the name of a freeway is in a state which you don't reside. 

If nobody was allowed to comment on things related to highways in states they don't live in, this forum would be very boring

[Rothman]

No one has brought up all the MLK, Jr. streets?

For some reason, I don't care about the one in Texas, but it will always be National Airport to me.

[ZLoth]

Unless it's explicitly slated in the name (e.g. President George Bush Turnpike, Sam Rayburn Tollway), I wouldn't know the freeway names around DFW. I believe I-635 is the LBJ Freeway and a portion of I-30 in Arlington near Cowboys stadium is called the "Tom Landy Freeway", but I'm still referring to it as the actual route number.

Perhaps then you should start actually commenting about highways.  You said that you were going on a drive recently in that Future Interstate thread.  Why leave us all hanging on a trip report?

If you want me to stick to the names of roads in my state, I think it's funny that Scottsdale has a Drinkwater blvd and a Goldwater blvd

I would say outside of the NYC and Chicago areas, very few interstates are called by anything other than their route numbers. Certainly no one here in Colorado calls I-25 through Denver the "Valley Highway". The only real exceptions I can think of are certain turnpikes (Mass, Thruway, Kansas, etc.).

Never went on that day trip did ya?

The city of Dallas fully signs the freeway names on the mastarms where the frontage roads intersect surface streets. I remember I-35E is the Stemmons Freeway because that name was used in my high school history class unit on the Kennedy assassination, and looking on GSV its frontage roads are indeed signed "(35E) Stemmons".

People who get their houses blurred on Street View. I don't know what you have to hide, but it makes me want to rob it.

Texas has a stretch of freeway named in honor of Ronald Reagan despite him never living in that state.

Washington State is named after George Washington, who never got farther west than the Ohio Valley.

What's really annoying is when it's a corner lot and the street sign you want to look at gets blurred too.

Sometimes I'll look up the photos on the county assessor website to spite them.

And Google no longer updating that spot as a result .

[Max Rockatansky]

I don't particularly care that my home appears on Google Street View.  Although I find some irony that on a forum where privacy is highly valued that so many are hostile about a small percentage of people not wanting their homes visible.

I would say outside of the NYC and Chicago areas, very few interstates are called by anything other than their route numbers.

Detroit says hello. It has been lessening, but Jeffries, Ford and Reuther are still heard; sometimes Chrysler.

Lodge, Southfield and Davison are the most prominent names, but those are state highways, not Interstates.

[Max Rockatansky]

Los Angeles still gets some people using the freeway names over numbers.  The most I've heard it is in reference to the Ventura Freeway and Arroyo Seco Parkway.

You're not going to change people.  Hey you can't change people here, so the same out there.

MDOT even uses freeway names in its publicity, such as "Lodge.ability" and the current "Restore the Reuther."  (Okay, "Revive I-75" didn't use the freeway name, but that's probably because they couldn't come up with something snappy to pair with Chrysler.)

I'm going to guess I-76 is probably the longest continous highway that many never use the I-number for.

Starting in Ohio, going east, at I-80 to the PA Border it'll be known as the Ohio Turnpike. Then it'll be the Pennsylvania Turnpike, then the Schuylkill Expressway, then the Walt Whitman Bridge, then either the North-South Freeway or Rt. 42. (locals & traffic reporters around Philly/NJ tend to call I-76's short NJ section Rt. 42, which doesn't actually begin until I-295).

"I-76" never really is mentioned due to the widely known names of the highway for most of its eastern roadway.

Does this also include the western I-76?

The one exception to this would be west of the I-76/I-80 bump west of Youngstown. Ohioans can correct me here, but it doesn't appear to have any other formal name between its western terminus at I-71 and I-80.

Edit: unless you are not counting that as "continuous" because it switches to a different roadway at that point.

The Ventura Freeway name is needed because if you say "The 101" you could be talking about the Hollywood Freeway

No. No one talks about that one at all.

I find it mildly amusing that I can look back at the old Street View of our house (there are only two images available) and I can tell the Google car came through during a particular five-day period in October 2012 because my wife's car was parked in the driveway and in those days it was never parked in the driveway except during that particular week when we had gone to Ohio for a family matter.

[JayhawkCO]

I hadn't looked at GSV of my house in a while. Looks like they finally ran by again in December '22 since the previous version (2012) didn't have the new color of our house when we got it painted.
