There are way too many signs in the MUTCD.  Let's eliminate some.  Which one should be first on the chopping block?

Just too much going on here.

The I-5 Alaskan Extension to Prudhorse, built by FritzOwl.

I also just crossed 500 posts with that, 9 minutes into 2026 at that!

I'm hoping for US 400 2. Not US 401, but a sequel to the one everybody hates.

The dates are wrong, and this is being fast-tracked as an addition to the US Interstate system:

Believe it or not: Connecticut Route 11. Not all of it -- just a 3-mile extension to Route 161. CTDOT is using the same camouflage techniques used for Bob Hope Airport in WW II to conceal its activity from aircraft and satellites. The sheltering effect is also enabling them to work through the winter.

Expect Route 11 Extension to be unveiled at the end of the summer. CTDOT "ain't saying nothing" about this project, and it's known only to roadgeeks and conspiracy theorists. You didn't hear it here, and it's not true anyway.

The Orange County camo did really take place, and it's a neat story: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/oh6p9/pictures_of_the_wwii_lockheed_airbase_hidden_with/

The entire interstate network will be renamed the "Trump Eisenhower Interstate System."

I-343 (WI), after WisDOT slaps a blue shield on a random freeway in eastern Wisconsin to spite Oklahoma.

This is how FritzOwl will finally get his interstates built--all he has to do is rename them to Trumpways, and the trillions of dollars of funding magically appears.

We will not see any lane additions.


Also ...



... because that's technically a subtraction.

Pretty much all of them. The forum users are a big group and the US is a large country, so there's no chance every single one of us would personally see any specific new or deleted highway.

Maybe we could organize a whole-forum roadmeet at Ambler Road.

Any highways that have greasy lane markings on them, unsurprisingly, they aren't getting removed.

Yet another year will go by without the government building the much-needed Coat-to-Cost Highway.
