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"

Any road/bridge with one-way tolling, when traveling in the opposite direction.

The Francis Scott Key bridge, because the amount of money paid for a completely new car (after driving off the ramp into the Patapsco) is not that much nowadays.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike. All that toll revenue, and the skinflints who run it won't pay to fix the Breezewood situation?

It's named after the Colfax beetle. The street planners wanted to name the road after a quartet of Liverpudlians, but in deciding how to do that they misspelled "Beatles" as "Beetles" and so came up with a different result.
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

It was supposed to be Coolfax, because the person who named it had a really cool fax machine, but when typing his application, he missed one of the letter "O"-s—and the rest is history.
