Control States

[Interstatefan78]

The funny thing about Exit 51's pull through sign on I-78 East near Allentown is that back in 1990 when it first opened ( that is the freeway east of there) it had "Allentown" as pull through control city and US 22 used "Whitehall."  It was after I moved down to Florida sometime in the 90's when it was amended to what it is now.

Also an interesting thing to note is that the pull through sign on I-78 at the same interchange that has the control state of New York uses "Newark" instead considering that both signs were erected when I-78 was opened to traffic in 1990 between Exit 3 in NJ and Exit 51 (former Exit 15) as part of the same contract.

Also 1 mile left in New Jersey on I-78 has a control state of Pennsylvania on a BGS that makes it appear that I-78 exits itself instead of just using the traditional mileage signs.

Even driving I-78 East at exit 51 as of 2013 it will say I-78 East New Jersey US-22 East LVI Airport PA turnpike, but the Correct form should have been I-78 East Easton/Clinton,NJ and US-22 East Allentown at exit 51
