Limon should be a control city

How often is Las Vegas used on I-70? I know it's on some mileage signs, but I thought that Utah mostly used Green River, Salina, or simply "I-15".

No one has mentioned that I-80 doesn't go to NYC, yet has a control city of NYC?

If MMM were still around, I'm sure there would already be a 50-100 post long tangent on the subject.  It's one of the things he loved to go on about.  Even more than HighwayStar likes to talk about I-70 not going to Baltimore.

90% of the time, the lowest city on the distance sign is the control city. And sprjus4 found plenty of options for how you define it.

Well, I-84 uses Boston as a control and I-384 uses Providence, though neither comes within 55 and 80 miles, respectively, of the control.  I-78 doesn't enter Harrisburg, and I-95 enters DC for 0.11 miles, yet both are controls.

A-20 uses Québec (City) both WB from Rivière-du-Loup and EB from Montréal, yet the freeway doesn't enter Québec City proper. Still, A-20 is the way to go between Montréal and Québec City (as shown in the phrase à l'autre bout de la 20, on the other end of A-20).

Sorry but providing a picture of a mileage sign and claiming it shows a control city is lazy and/or dishonest.

You got me. I was trying to sneak one by you. And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for SEWIGuy and his pesky dog.

[kphoger]

So, the fact that I-70 has an exit for Cooks Lane, which serves the West Hills neighborhood of Baltimore.......

Is not sufficient for a city of that size, as shown by the fact that the route as designed had service to much more of the city. With a town the size of Albert Lea or even Rapid City/Sioux Falls, that exit is still quite close to city center and meaningfully serves the city as a whole. That does not scale to a large city like Baltimore, DC, Dallas, etc.

This shit again?

Seriously.  I thought we were done with this crap.

Can we get back to discussing Limon?

This whole thread was just a silly April Fool's joke by me...

Is this the longest an April Fools thread stayed active after April Fools?

I was about to quote a counterexample (Who Else is Bucking the Car Trend?), but this one has actually lasted longer.

Yep. I guess I'm just smarter than you.

You know, if your end goal was pedantry–and I love a good pedantic post from time to time–it would have been much easier to go the route of observing I-15 is not a city and therefore cannot be a control city.

Thirty points from Wisconsin for not seeing the obvious answer.

According to AASHTO link posted above, I-15, IH-84, Canada, and Tappan Zee Bridge are cities.

Why can't I vote in their city council elections, then?

(I mean, I guess you could with Canada.)

You have to move to those cities before you could vote, obviously.
