Oh interesting. I thought they were merely repaving the ramp but they actually widened it.

Not sure why though as I've never seen that ramp congested even during peak periods.

Also interesting that they chose to widen by adding to the right (and cutting the right retaining walls) instead of paving the median and moving the lanes over for a short bit.

Quote from: Techknow on February 04, 2024, 09:40:17 PMI just came back from a trip to Lake Tahoe and saw several external exit tabs, here they are! These are all dashcam photos that I don't mind sharing, the GPS coordinates basically geolocate them on any Maps application.

Honestly these exit tabs are like the ones I have seen from other posters and those that I have posted myself, and they all look oversized and more or less terrible. I have yet to see an exit tab like the one discovered on CA 57

All of them were in I-80 going westbound:

Exit 184 at Truckee



Exit 94 at Sacramento (it was posted here first!)







Exits 14B and 15 at Richmond


Looks like CALTRANS might actually be standardizing their signage to what the rest of the country uses.

I'm kind of surprised that this one didn't get mentioned, but the 110 approaching the 105 interchange heading SB has a new gantry and signs that replaced the previous one sometime in 2023...

Now if only they'd ditch that ridiculous "all signs must be the same height" rule. You could fit two more lines of text on that Imperial Highway sign.
