Dumbest decommissionings

I-70 in MD for that road diet project that the greens wanted.

Given that I-70 will never be extended into Baltimore, it does make some sense to truncate it to I-695.

I made a Baltimore/DC area plan which rerouted I-68 to Baltimore and I-70 down I-270, (I-95/495), and I-595 to end near Annapolis. (Yes, I did forget to eliminate the portion east of I-695, among others).



Perhaps instead of ending it at 695 you can send it down (695) and 97 to (hidden) 595 and end near Annapolis. I dunno.

My parents live in Del Mar, immediately north of San Diego. They still refer to Camino Del Mar as "101". I'm aware that nowadays, US 101 starts up in DTLA (I think). But down here, there are these "Historic 101" signs that are mounted as though they are current highway numerical markers. So to the non-road buff (like 95% of society), it looks like U.S. 101 was never decommissioned here. Things like that kind of irk me. In my dream world, I'd replace the "Historic 101" highway signs, and the Camino Del Mar surface street labels, with "Old Hwy. 101" surface street labels (or whatever those are called). This is because I've been on "Old 395" and "Old Hwy. 80" before, and it made sense to me.

US 101 was (mostly) replaced by I-5, so in a way, it kinda makes sense, though.
