Why don't toll road authorities offer Black Friday specials?

They'll just market the current toll as the special, and hike the rates like they usually do after the "deal" is over, providing the false illusion that there was, in fact, a special.

"Influencer" sounds like something I'd would have heard at a D.A.R.E. program presentation about drug dealers giving kids free samples of crack cocaine.

East Dixie Avenue in Elizabethtown, Kentucky should get renamed "Little Green Shrub Boulevard".  Gives a new meaning to the term "LGS".

The name Jimmy Donaldson Highway should be applied to US 491, because historically that road had the number of the beast.

You traveled 293 miles of unsigned routes. Ha ha, they don't count. Your vibe is dolphin-reinforced. Your top threads were:

Las Vegas, because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, and you never have to drive anywhere else again.

Washington, DC, because DDOT is the most competent transportation agency in the nation and predatory revenue speed cameras are a great idea!

Atlanta has a lot of trees so probably Atlanta. Probably a relaxing scenic drive around 5pm when the sun starts to go down.

Quote from: I-55 on April 13, 2025, 09:39:41 PMThe correct question is "if ARDOT hasn't signed it, why does Google show it?" and the answer as usual is "because Google Maps signs stuff incorrectly all the time"
