AI-based text generator by Adam King.

For now OpenAI has decided only to release small and medium-sized versions of it which aren't as coherent but still produce interesting results. This site runs the new (May 3) medium-sized model, called 345M for the 345 million parameters it uses. If and when they release the full model, I'll likely get it running here.

Feed it a paragraph on CT 17: "Route 17 offers a lot to interest the road enthusiast. Starting at New Haven, it quickly enters scenic rural countryside, passing through Durham on the way north. At Middletown, Route 17 turns onto a short freeway, with one interchange at Main Street, before merging with Route 9."

The AI continues:

This short freeway ends at the first bridge spanning the Middletown river at Middletown Road, and at the first bridge crossing the river at Route 13. In total, this route passes through 15 counties and 3 cities with an average of 30,000 vehicles per day. In addition to roads and bridges, this route passes through communities across the city, and even some rural communities. This route is also very scenic, and its wide-open nature is unique. The scenic valley is surrounded by a natural barrier separating the Middletown River from the mountains, and the Middletown River is a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of major cities.

New Haven Route 17 is located south of New Haven in West New Haven. It also connects in some places along Route 25, and connects with several of the towns along this route. From West New Haven, the route begins on Route 35 and travels north along Route 27 and Route 28. When it passes along the river, the route is followed by another part of the route until its last crossing over

I grew up in CT, and it's amazing how many places I still haven't seen :-)

Wow, it knows many facts not even the craziest roadgeek would learn of. Bold denotes my input.

U.S. route 6 has always started in Provincetown, Massachusetts, at the tip of Cape Cod. It used to be the longest U.S. route, spanning 3,652 miles on its journey to Long Beach, California, but it is no longer the case since it was truncated to Bishop in 1964. Since that time there have been no longer-distance-longest U.S. routes, although there have been several smaller ones to Long Beach. If you travel along U.S. Route 64 you will see a large flagpole, presumably flown by U.S. marshals during the Civil War to mark the U.S. government's decision to secede from Mexico after it lost the war.

U.S. route 66 started on the border between Oregon and Washington. It took six years, the longest passage by sea in U.S. history, but ended after a successful attempt on the Oregon border by former Navy SEAL Bob Clark, who sank a U.S. ship, the USS Maine, on the journey from Portland, Oregon, to Portland Harbor in late 2010.

U.S. route 66 travels through the northern part of Canada, then makes the crossing via the Saskatchewan River, where it goes through the Great Lakes. The crossing to Vancouver, B.C., had to be abandoned as the river dried up

It looks like I got into a FAQ.

----

In Massachusetts, driving in the breakdown lane is allowed on some roads at certain times of day. For example, on Interstate 93 north of Exit 41, breakdown lane travel is allowed from 6 AM to 10 AM southbound and from 3 PM to 7 PM northbound, providing a fourth lane during rush hour.

In addition to the restrictions shown above, Massachusetts law also permits drivers who are at least 15 years old who are licensed to drive to move into the breakdown lane, provided they meet the criteria identified above.

Additional information

If you must drive into a breakdown lane, we suggest you read the specific rules and follow the procedure detailed below.

How long can you drive into a breakdown lane?

The law sets the minimum number of drivers who are allowed to stay in a breakdown lane, for a minimum amount of time of between three and 20 minutes, depending on the circumstances. For example, if a collision with another vehicle occurs and you need to get to a hospital emergency room, you can't stay in traffic while driving. You're limited to one lane during peak periods during daytime conditions, and may opt-out of this one lane for certain other times of day.

How much can I drive under the conditions?

It is illegal to drive into all-traffic conditions. It's also illegal to drive on any part of the roadway unless there's traffic

Here's the first part of an article I started for I-285:

Interstate 285 (I-285) is a 62-mile long beltway encircling Atlanta, Georgia. It is nicknamed The Perimeter, and it connects to all three Interstates serving the area: I-20, I-75 and I-85, as well as a 3-digit spur, I-675.

Now check out the crazy information I got:

Because of its location, however, it was often dubbed "The Biggest Ever!", and it was used extensively in the 1960s and early 1870s. As a result, it took on a multitude of identities.

As the largest of the Interstate corridors, many people are unaware that the I-285 has a long section of tunnels under many areas. Over the years, the tunnel was converted into a multi-level parking system and pedestrian walkway. While this was a large undertaking in itself, the I-285 section also provided a place for the locals to ride out their bike holidays and partake in public transportation in the winter months. While the tunnel was originally used for vehicles, cars were required to stop before entering the tunnel to enjoy the scenic views.

The tunnels, especially I-75 are now under serious consideration to be used for a new express light rail station. The $70 million project, which would be built under I-75 East between I-75 and I-80 in downtown Atlanta, is being touted as a boon to the

Who knew Rochester had toll lanes?

Interstate 590 (I-590) is a north—south auxiliary Interstate Highway that serves the immediate southeastern suburbs of the city of Rochester, New York, in the United States. It extends for 5.07 miles from an interchange with I-390 in Brighton to the Can of Worms, a complex interchange connecting I-590 to I-490 (the Eastern Expressway) just inside the Rochester city line. The interchange is the last two miles of I-190. The interchange is located along I-90 and exits into I-490.


It is named after the former site of I-490, which is now Interstate 590. I-190 connects to I-590 between Rochester and New Hanover, New Hampshire. I-590 has a maximum speed limit of 65 mph. An I-190 toll lane is included.

It is closed for the winter season, and will reopen on November 1, 2017. Construction began in 2005.

It is one of the busiest highways in the western United States.


Construction of the Interstate 590 replacement, I-190, began in 2007 and will operate from May 8th to October 8th on I-190, I-490, I-590, and Interurban.


The replacement freeway will be located within a two-lane north—south interchange connecting I-90 and I-490

Then I decided to have some fun with the Inner Loop:

The idea for a beltway around Rochester was conceived in the 1950s. At the time, the population of Rochester was roughly 332,000, which translated into poor traffic conditions within downtown. Despite some political obstacles, construction on the highway began in the early 1950s. The project had been estimated to cost $150 million, and the cost was raised to $250 million by 1960.

The original vision of RTE for the Beltway was an 18-lane highway running north through Downtown Rochester up and east of Interstate 490. Construction in 1960 was halted early because of budget cuts. In 1965, construction resumed. An 871-mile roadway was built that connected the north end of the highway with the east end of the bridge at Rochester International Raceway's historic site at River Island Speedway. In 1980 the beltway was completed and is accessible by transit.

The Beltway started the construction of the Interstate I-480 extension, which connects with the I-490 Beltway, which starts across Southbridge, along Route 13, through I-90. It runs from I-90 south to the I-490 Beltway. The construction project was done without any funds for local economic development, so no traffic concerns were generated along the Beltway. As of 2015 there are 791,000 vehicles on the I-480 Beltway.

By the mid 2000s, Route 13 was the

Another one I made is about I-710 and its infamous gap in Pasadena, with my own text in bold:

The north end of I-710 is infamous in that it has a 5-mile missing section through Alhambra, Los Angeles and Pasadena, California. There have been plans to build the missing section from I-10 (San Bernardino Freeway) in Alhambra to I-210 (Foothill Freeway) in Pasadena, but ongoing community opposition has stalled these plans.

As you can see in the maps below, the missing sections are the shortest way between any of the three LA area airports — La Palma, La Brea or Los Angeles Airport.

For information about how to get to downtown Los Angeles, please visit http://www.ucla.edu/downtown, the Los Angeles Times has an excellent guide to downtown at http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-st-los-angeles-10-1a0713-story.html.

Guess I'll join in on the fun. Since I'm lazy, all of my sources are from (typically) the introductory paragraph of a route's Wikipedia article.

US 6 in New York:

U.S. Route 6 (US 6) in New York is a 77.85-mile (125.29 km) stretch of cross-country route that spans from the Pennsylvania state line at Port Jervis to the Connecticut state line east of Brewster. Near both ends it runs in close proximity to Interstate 84 (I-84), which otherwise takes a more northerly route through Downstate New York. US 6, meanwhile, skirts the northern fringe of the New York Metropolitan Area.

The area's northern and southern end is one of Route 6's most heavily trafficked locations. In 2008, according to Federal Highway Administration traffic data, US 6's traffic was worth $8.2 billion, a 29.1 percent increase over 2008. (See figure below.)

The area itself is a natural expanse of wooded areas and farmland that is bounded on the east by New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, and New Hampshire–the areas where it lies next to Connecticut, Maine, Maine, and New Hampshire respectively.

The eastern section of the US 6 path is home to two major bridges. It also contains several toll gates, which are a common toll revenue source for US 6's bridge operations, and a number of parking lots and other structures.

The western section of the path is made up of fewer toll gates.

I-84 in Massachusetts:

Interstate 84 (I-84) in Massachusetts is the eastern-most segment of the eastern I-84 highway originating in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, (near Scranton). Within Massachusetts, I-84 exists in the towns of Holland and Sturbridge. Known as the Wilbur Cross Highway, it has also been signed as Massachusetts Route 15 between 1948 and 1980 as well as Interstate 86 between 1971 and 1984.

It runs eastbound, and it is the western border of the central portion of the state and is named after an American Civil War general named Harry W. Wilbur who served during 1862-1865. In 1992, there was talk about establishing a western border highway, but that proposal was largely abandoned and will not be seen again for decades. The western border of the state is about 50 miles wide and takes 3.5 hours to cross from Boston to Boston along Interstate 94 (Exit 32).

Route 14 (I-84)

Route 14, formerly known as Interstate 95, runs through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky and West Virginia. This highway is the largest single-state highway in the United States with a total of 2,280 miles (4,000 km) (and counting). Its segment to Kansas City, Kansas, runs from the Mississippi River to Interstate 69 and through western Kentucky, western Missouri and Kentucky into western Montana.

I-94 (general page):

Interstate 94 (I-94) is an east—west Interstate Highway connecting the Great Lakes and northern Great Plains regions of the United States. Its western terminus is in Billings, Montana, at a junction with I-90; its eastern terminus is in Port Huron, Michigan, where it meets with I-69 and crosses the Blue Water Bridge into Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, where the route becomes Ontario Highway 402. It thus lies along the primary overland route from Seattle (via I-90) to Toronto (via Ontario Highway 401), and is the only east—west Interstate highway to form a direct connection into Canada.

I-94 intersects with I-90 several times: at its western terminus; near Madison, Wisconsin; in Chicago, and in Lake Station, Indiana. Among the other major cities that I-94 connects to are Fargo, North Dakota; Minneapolis—Saint Paul; Milwaukee; and Detroit.

By contrast, US-76 has been linked with the I-70 East-West Corridor since the 1960s. As of January 4, 2010, the highway passes through three major cities: Cleveland, Ohio; Akron, Ohio; and Toledo, Ohio. US-76 also passes through the cities of Baltimore and Newark, New Jersey. Its four principal interchange points are in Dayton, Ohio (I-76) and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

PA 434:

PA 434 shared a brief 0.1-mile (0.16 km) concurrency US 6 after its extension to PA 739 was created. A new unsignalized intersection was built between 2005 and 2008 eliminating this concurrency.

The new intersection, which was not formally launched until 2012, had to be moved up after its first mile due to the presence of two traffic lanes (US 1/US 6 as opposed to US 2/US 6 ). In contrast, the last three miles of PA 739 and PA 444 were completely uneventful, with road closures and no delays.

"We've never seen this many complaints and crashes per mile from any other US state-road merge," said Paul O'Brien, project engineering vice-president at NHTSA. "In fact, this is already second only to our first-place ranking of complaints about merge lanes from 2006 to 2010."

The US 6 US 6 merge has already been known to result in many major accidents for drivers on PA 739 because of the amount of space between the turn lanes and the merge box. O'Brien estimates that approximately four million vehicles drive PA 739 each day with some 6 million people using it daily.

The US 6 PA 434 merge was created just before the first major incident reported in the US, which resulted in two drivers' deaths, including the death

NY 55:

New York State Route 55 (NY 55) is a state highway in southern New York, running from the Pennsylvania state line at the Delaware River in Barryville to the Connecticut state line at Wingdale. It is the only other state highway beside NY 7 to completely cross the state, from border to border, in an east—west direction, although NY 17 does so and is partially east—west. It also forms a concurrency when it joins US 44 for 33 miles (53 km).

This route is about 25 miles (40 km) longer than NY 6 and has a maximum capacity of 36,000 vehicles per day. It is less frequent than other routes and therefore more expensive, on some occasions due to drivers not knowing they were about to turn west after turning east onto the route.

The main sections of the highway stretch across the western part of New York City. The stretch is divided into sections that take New York State Route 519 as their central stretch or N 519 for short, to the Brooklyn suburb of Bed-Stuy and then another segment that is much longer to the south, and crosses the borough as the state Route 535, until it joins I-81 before proceeding further to I-676 in Brooklyn. In recent years, the state Route 535 has also been a central corridor for I-76, with its length now about 70 miles (105 km) long.

How about some freeways that never were? I have decided to investigate six of them:

Crosstown Expressway in Chicago

I-494 was a proposed designation for the unbuilt Crosstown Expressway in Chicago, which was cancelled in 1979. It would have run parallel to 63rd Street on the South Side and Cicero Avenue on the West Side and provided an alternative to the frequently-congested Dan Ryan and Kennedy Expressways, as well as the downtown Loop.

In the fall of 1979, Mayor Richard J. Daley rejected the project.

Crosstown Expressway was never built.

Other notable Crosstown projects included the former Chicago Zoo, the North Shoreline Transit Center and a bus rapid transit line. These transportation projects all stalled, but a new connection to I-494 was constructed under the Crosstown Expressway in 1986.

A report prepared under the federal "Blue Ribbon" plan concluded, "A final proposal for the $1.5 billion project [which would link North and South Chicago using the Crosstown Expressway] should make sense. It would have provided additional transit service in and out of the Loop, increased reliability and reduced travel times along the route."

The $1.5 billion proposal called upon Congress to approve a 20 year, $10 billion Federal Transit Administration (FTA) operating grant for rail transit facilities. The project also received support from Federal highway building agencies.

I-70 and I-170 in Baltimore

According to the 3-A system that was approved in 1969, I-70 was to be extended four miles from Security Boulevard to a junction with I-95 in Southwest Baltimore, and I-170 was to be a 2.3-mile spur through West Baltimore and into downtown. However, because of I-70's controversial path through Leakin and Gwynns Falls Parks, these unbuilt freeways were cancelled by 1983. After a decommissioning of its three-mile section to Security Boulevard, I-70 now ends at a stack interchange with I-695, and a 1.4-mile section of former I-170 is now a freeway segment of US 40.

Construction of new highways, which began after the cancellation of I-70, started in the late 1970s and continued until the late 1990s, although no new expressways were under construction before the 1990s. There were no longer any freeways connecting Baltimore County to the rest of Maryland, and thus the bulk of the interstate highway in the county was either closed to traffic, separated from traffic by a large barrier that blocked or blocked-away several routes, or, in the words of the Baltimore Sun, "was a giant pile of concrete." It turns out there were only about 600,000 fewer car-centric cars per capita in Baltimore County between 1974 and 1977 than there were in 1950, even though the share

I-95 through Washington

The original plans for I-95 through Washington, DC, used the Northeast Freeway from the College Park Interchange in Maryland to Fort Totten near the District line. From there, I-95 would pick up the North Central Freeway, with I-270 running north-northwest to Silver Spring and connecting to its current southern terminus at Bethesda, via a short concurrency with I-495 (the Capital Beltway); it would continue to New York Avenue, then take the Center Leg and Southwest Freeways out of the District, with the final stretch following the Henry G. Shirley Highway to the Springfield Interchange in Virginia. Thanks to the project's cancellation in 1977, I-95 now runs on the eastern half of the Beltway via the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, and I-395 runs on the completed portion from Springfield to New York Avenue.

It's also possible that the Washington DC Metro, which was supposed to connect I-95 and I-495 in the 1960s, was delayed. The original project was approved at the end of 1969 by President Richard Nixon. In 1979, during the final years of the Nixon Presidency, I-95 was replaced by I-695, with Maryland passing through Washington, where Maryland is a separate entity from the District. I-395 and I-495 are now divided among two entities, the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration. I-

Somerset Freeway

The Somerset Freeway was proposed to carry I-95 from Trenton to Piscataway, New Jersey; however, it was cancelled in 1982. As a result, the Philadelphia-to-New York portion of I-95 now uses the Pennsylvania Turnpike Connector, New Jersey Turnpike and George Washington Bridge, and I-295 has been extended from US 1 north of Trenton to connect with the rerouted I-95 in Bristol, Pennsylvania.

In 2011, the New York City Council issued a request for technical data on future highway plans for Philadelphia-to-New York that was later turned over to the Federal Highway Administration. Data in this request identified the following:

the need to widen and extend the entire Philadelphia-to-New York segment of existing I and NJ1, US 1 and I-95;

a plan for the development of another elevated freeway from Piscataway in the north west to the south side of the city (possibly on the US 1 bridge); and

the proposed use of additional bridges that would connect the cities to the city, such as the New Jersey Turnpike Connector and the Delaware River Crossing.

A 2013 report commissioned by the Philadelphia-to-New York Corridor Corridor Coalition found:

[The] highway expansion would provide an important link between the south side of Philadelphia and the

I-95 through Boston

I-95 was originally planned to go through Boston instead of around it. The original proposals followed the unbuilt Southwest Expressway from Canton to the city center, then follow the partially-completed Northeast Expressway to Peabody. An also-unbuilt downtown connector, called I-695, would have connected I-95 with Brookline, Cambridge and Somerville. Since 1971, when these expressways were cancelled, I-95 has bypassed Boston on the MA 128 loop, with the northern end of the Canton interchange leading to nowhere.

The current proposed route through Peabody is shown along the lower right to Peabody Ave., which would link directly to the South Hills and is at right angles to the existing Peabody Light Rail stations. (Photo: Robert T. Liddy)

There are numerous options for the southern terminus. Peabody is in the middle of a long-lasting redevelopment project at the site of a former auto parts depot on Peabody Ave., and Peabody, along with several other suburbs in the City of Boston County, are also seeking new transit options through downtown Providence. For today's proposal, a Peabody stop at the intersection of Commonwealth and Peabody avenues leads from the South Hills in the far north to South End, where you can see the Commonwealth Center at Boston University.

I-420, I-485 and I-675 in Atlanta

I-420 was planned to connect to I-20 at Douglasville to the west and Decatur to the east via the Lakewood Freeway (now Langford Parkway); I-485 was planned to link downtown Atlanta to I-285 east of the city via the Stone Mountain Freeway (US 78); and I-675 was planned to be extended from its current northern terminus at I-285 in DeKalb County through the eastern edge of Atlanta to a junction with I-85 and State Route 400 northeast of downtown. After these cancellations, Langford Parkway (SR 166) now runs from I-285 in west Atlanta to the southern I-75/I-85 split, SR 10 uses the westernmost 2 miles of the I-485 proposal, and SR 400 remains unconnected to I-675.

(See Map 11) When planned, the Langford Parkway extension would connect the Lakewood and DeKalb airports as well Atlanta's downtown and northern suburbs to the Georgia National Guard facilities on I-85 and State Route 400. (See Map 12) However, the Langford Parkway plan was rejected by the Georgia State Legislature in 2007. This caused new delays and made it nearly impossible to complete SR 400 expansion through the cities of Novato and DeKalb. Additionally, a new freeway and new airfields were needed to meet the new highway and airfield standards. In 2008,

When in Alanland...

speaking of which:

The third Grand Unified Alan of Alanland was the infamous Alan Bradley (T-QW). This marked the end of the celebrated early days of the republic, between its independence and the Caterpillar War. I shan't go into too much detail about the Bradley Administration as it is a story known all too well by the schoolchildren in the civilized world. The administration was marked, of course, by the Caterpillar War, which was the cause of much death and destruction. Let us pause and reflect upon the great tragedy that conflict brought forth unto this planet. It must not be forgotten, either, that this conflict brought upon the entire mankind the great evil of the First World War. Thus, we owe this tragic event in the minds of our children and our grandchildren a fitting tribute, a fitting symbol of the great dangers the human race faces. For the glory of God! For the victory of mankind that has the glory of the Lord!

On the other hand, the Alanland is where the original Alan was born. On this, he shares much of the attributes that brought upon him the title of Alanland's greatest champion. One of the foremost characters in the Alan story, Alan can be likened to the great Alan of the early chapters, Alan the Wanderer. He travels the world seeking to understand who is really real, to discover the true nature of his world, to gain greater knowledge

Wow. Just wow.

U.S. Route 38 was a short lived highway. It was one of the original routes of the 1926 network, running from Omaha, Nebraska to Greeley, Colorado. It was replaced by U.S. Route 6 already in 1932. It had a branch, U.S. Route 138, which still exists today. At the time, it was considered the only US route to bypass Denver.

As of 2008, the road remained unpaved. It was a short cut through the city of Greeley, Colorado. While the road was often cited by locals as an alternate transportation option, its popularity faded fast after the collapse of the oil boom in the 1990s and then urban blighted roads and abandoned buildings in the city's core (more on this later).

One of the reasons that the highway is so attractive to the public is that it's a scenic route, one that takes advantage of scenic beauty located on the Colorado River. The water in Colorado River water has a beautiful, deep red color and can be seen for miles around. A well of similar color is seen in Lake Mead in Nevada.

It's a nice, short cut by road. It's a beautiful day drive. It's also a shortcut. It leads from a very remote area to an urban center, and it also has a short but scenic detour.

Colorado State Highway Route 38 (Colorado

Yes, it abruptly ends there.

Another one:

How I-238 got approved, considering there is no I-38? It seems that there are already several major I-38 projects. It's no wonder that people see the I-38 tunnel being extended under their back yard and not the I-238 tunnel as something needed for transit. At the very least, it should be considered as a priority."

While the tunnel and the highway project are important to Oakland, it is more than possible for the city to simply buy some federal land for another big project as well.

Here's another question for Adam:

Why is I-99 located in the middle of Pennsylvania instead of its more ideal location along the Atlantic coast?

I-99 is currently located between Pittsburgh and New York City, making it a very useful highway through Central Pennsylvania as well as the southern part of the Mid-Preninsula. In fact, I-99 is the only "road to nowhere" in the state of Pennsylvania. With its location in the middle of a busy center, I-99 has made it a popular place for commuters to drive, shopping, or visit friends, family, and co-workers.

How are the stops on I-99 different than some other transportation system in the United States?

There are a variety of factors to consider when considering where to drive in different transportation systems around the United States. For example, in the states of New York and California, I-999 is a four-lane road through the middle of the state but some cities have added additional highway access for vehicles that are traveling faster. When I-99 is in drive-through traffic, there will be several lanes of traffic in each direction with traffic moving at 45 miles per hour. Most of the other states and some of the cities still have separate express highways.

What are the most important things to know about I-99?

There aren't many things to do while driving on the interstate in the US

As for the incomplete freeway system in Hartford:

In the Hartford area, I-291 was planned as a 3/4 loop around the south, west and north sides of the city, with I-491 acting as a southeastern bypass.
