I remember driving west on I40 at night coming out of Amarillo in a U-Haul just listening to the radio (20 yrs ago). Eventually lost all radio signal and continued driving west through that barren country. After driving in complete silence and darkness for 30+ min, when that radio final picked up a signal it absolutely scared the crap out of me to hear sound again. Finally stopped in Tucumcari and crashed in a motel that looked straight outta the 1960’s. Good times!
As someone who lives in North Carolina I agree. We do have terrible signing like signs being too small or having very old signs. I wish we had the Clearview font for our signs.
I'm a truck driver and I-40 has probably received most of my mileage. So I'm very familiar with this route.The bridge in Memphis had been open for about 2 months now.
@Amber Barillas I would recommend interstate 40 to Oklahoma City and then Interstate 44 to St Louis then take I-70 to Columbus Ohio then I-71 north to I-90 eaxt to Boston. I-44 in Oklahoma is tolled, as is I-90 in New York and Massachusetts. The other option is to take I-40 to Tennessee and take Interstate 81 north to Scranton PA and take interstate 84 east to Boston As for driving it in a Camry. I don't see why not. Just drive with caution and stop if you don't feel safe.
The bridge at 6:15 in Oklahoma City is the Skydance Bridge, a pedestrian bridge to a city park. The sculpture is made to resemble the Scissortail Flycatcher, Oklahoma's state bird. At night, the sculpture is lit up in changing colors and is very cool to see.
If my memory is correct, I-40 used to run straight through downtown Oklahoma City as an elevated highway overpass. But within the last decade they tore the overpass down and converted into an at grade parkway. While the new route for I 40 is a mile south of downtown. Without the overpass getting in the way, OKC’s downtown region has more room to expand and develop
correct .... and the 40 (& 35) relocation happened within the last 10-20 years. the overpass was overcrowded AND deteriorating, and replacing it IN PLACE was not feasible NOR desirable.
I spent my birthday in a Holiday Inn in Santa Rosa, NM in 1983! We were driving coast to coast with diversions for Grand Canyon / Painted Desert / Petrified Forest / Zion / Lake Tahoe
16:15 Fayetteville is a correct choice for a control city at the 95 junction because Fayetteville is home of Fort Bragg. Also it is the halfway mark between Miami and New York. It also has a lot of rest destinations as the most hotel choices along the 95 route
I-95 Northbound FT. Lauderdale West Palm Beach Daytona Beach Jacksonville Savannah Florence/Charleston until US 17 Florence/Myrtle Beach Fayetteville/Raleigh Raleigh until I-40 Junction Richmond Washington Baltimore Philadelphia New York City New Haven CT Providence Boston Portsmouth Portland(Sparce population after) Lewiston Augusta Bangor Canada South Bangor Augusta Portland Boston Providence New York City Philadelphia Baltimore Washington Richmond Fayetteville/Raleigh until I-85 Split Fayetteville/Wilmington until I-40 Fayetteville Savannah Jacksonville Daytona Beach Miami.
One of the mileage signs on I 40 just east of the US 95 northbound exit, Flagstaff is signed at the bottom for the first time just before you enter Needles. It says Needles 8, Kingman 72, and Flagstaff 221
The 123 exit is pretty useful FOR NORTH CAROLINAINS for a lot of people from Statesville and parts of North Charlotte that’s how you get to the high country And Gastonia is about 20 minutes from Charlotte on a good day
I wasn’t too surprised that this video was under 20 minutes long because outside of California, New Mexico and North Carolina I-40’s not terribly signed
yeah their control cities are mostly bad... like 77 north of statesville, its signed for mount airy even though it doesnt hit mount airy. what the hell is a mount airy? sign it for wytheville.
14:14. For travelers that's the sign directing you straight into 'Death Valley." All those highways coming together into four lanes (in either direction,) lots of crashes ... the name fits. Salem Parkway used to be routed as Business 40 to go through Winston-Salem but lawmakers in the area went with just 421/Salem Parkway.
The end of I-40 reminds me of the time I drove the entire route of U.S. 13. Started in the Philadelphia area and when I got to the end near Fayetteville I was disappointed there was no "End U.S. 13" sign. Florida tends to be the same way, especially U.S. 92 & U.S. 98.
@@thecoxsays1 It was 1999 when I took the trip. I-295 didn't exist in NC back then. There was a back road that went straight once U.S. 13 intersected with I-95 that led to U.S. 301. I was surprised to see that there was no "To U.S. 13" sign off of U.S. 301 either.
I’ve driven i40 from Wilmington to Nashville, Tn many times. Nice to see the Wilmington mileage sign at beginning if I 40 east as I have seen the Barstow, ca sign a lot on western beginning
The only cities in NC that should appear on interstate signs, at least major ones, would be Wilmington, Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Charlotte and Asheville. Maybe Fayetteville on 95. The 785 exit should say Danville, VIRGINIA to more specific. I-40 does go through Durham to be fair. Southpoint, US501 and those points south are in the city limits.
pretty sure when i was younger my dad pointed out a sign similar to the one you guys have when we were leaving wilmington - headed back to raleigh … it said that city in california 2500 miles … so that’s how you know where the highway starts … not sure why the video couldn’t tell where it ends - but every time i’ve gone, it leads me basically to downtown wilmington
I've been on stretches of I-40 between Kingman, AZ & Holbrook, AZ & the Painted Dessert, in AZ, to Oklahoma City, OK. Also, I-49 will be routed along a bypass, East of Ft. Smith, AR, that will head South from North I-49's junction with I-40.
I was going to mention this too about I-49 is going to get new pavement. I think it's one of the first extensions of I-49 that's going to built next. It's going to connect to the short freeway that's signed 549
depending on the day and time, taking 840 around nashville can be the same amt of time as taking 40 thru nashville. nashvilles inner loop and freeways around the city can be horrendous
This is different because of the proximity of Jackson, TN. I-40 runs right through it. Todd gave the distance between the two Jacksons, but not the fact that the one in Tennessee is less than 90 miles from Memphis.
My favorite part of I-40 is riding across the Cumberland Plateau from Knoxville TN to Cookeville TN I rode to Cookeville TN across the Cumberland Plateau back in March of 2020 it was a lot of fun
My Control Cities for I-40 Kingman / Flagstaff Flagstaff Albequerque Tucumcari / Amarillo Amarillo Oklahoma City Fort Smith Little Rock Memphis Nashville Knoxville Asheville Winston Salem Greensboro Durham / Raleigh Raleigh Wilmington
The sign for Exit 301 at 15:32 now has I-87 on the sign. The city hasn't changed though. Also, they're working on Exit 310 for the NC 540 interchange. Finally great video, I like I-40 it's very cool.
I've been I-40 West as far as Dickson, TN and it seems to be a good road. Thanks! I've been on Interstate 40 East from the North Carolina Border to Wilmington in certain times not the whole trip.
You missed my favorite sign of all times, the overhead "Y" sign south of Barstow showing the split between Las Vegas and Needles - I 15 and I 40 (the sign is about a quarter mile before the first I 40 sign you showed.) I love this sign because it is where my 2 favorite destinations start. No, not Needles. My kids live in Pittsburgh where I grew up, so this is where I start my cross country trips after leaving Los Angeles with I 40 being the first cross country route in the LA Metro area that I frequent - I avoid I 10. And Las Vegas is where I spend my free time on weekends. Also, cross country travelers are looking for a place to eat and sleep. Santa Rosa is one of those spots. Great hotel choices and plenty of comfort food restaurants. Tucumcari was the hot spot back in the 70's and 80's, but none of the 1,000 rooms advertised were ever upgraded and fell into horrible disrepair causing most of the motels to close. Road signage, like the Interstate repair, is mandated by the states, and the people on the boards deciding what signs to display are local business people. Of course they want to bring business to their establishments so those cities get top priority in signage. Amarillo signage is usurped by FREE 72 OZ STEAK signs from the famous Big Texan Restaraunt in Amarillo. You will find Big Texan signs 8 hours before you get there. Why? Beacuse travelers start thinking about dinner right after breakfast. Being on the road makes you hungry. Texas promotes state routes because the Texas state routes are equally as grand as any interstate. Even Texas "Farm Roads" look like interstates. The first time I saw Farm Road 1960 in Houston, I was totally amazed, and that was back in 1968.
Wilmington was not where I-40 originally terminated. This section was built a lot later then then original highway system in the 1960s and 1970s. As someone who has done a fare amount of traveling on the interstate system as a military dependent, the signage is more likely from the early time period of the highways and before GPS. It most likely made for less confusion and time to keep looking at hard copy maps.
according to Wikipedia ... and this makes sense, if you read atlases like I did as a kid ... the original eastern terminus for 40 was at 85 (40 was an original part of the FAHA from 1956). 40 then was extended east to 95 in 1969 ... and then to Wilmington to 1984.
@@dhinton1 40 wasn't extended east to 95 then. I went up and down 95 in NC during the late 70's up to the mid 80's and there was not a single mention of 40. In fact, state highway maps at the time had it ending in Raleigh.
A couple things to note about 40 in NC. It is signed for Biltmore because it is preferred that motorists use 40 rather than 240 or 26 to get there. So it's not really a control, just an advisory to Biltmore traffic. Also, Hickory by itself isn't a large city, but it is the largest of a conglomerate of fairly decent-sized cities in Catawba and Caldwell counties, the metro population is actually about 150,000. A lot of manufacturing is located there, so I suspect that particular control is for truck traffic. Also 285/52 should probably be signed for Salisbury anyway. Much larger town with a fairly decent-sized industrial-corporate presence on the way to Charlotte. Also, 85 Business in Greensboro used to be the alignment for 85 through Greensboro until about 15-20 years ago. That's why it gets equal billing, which is why Durham is on that sign. And lastly, Fayetteville has 200k+ population, and the largest military base in the country nearby at Fort Bragg, so it should be signed on 95.
Interstate 40 between Bartow and Oklahoma City was U.S. 66 at one time. I would not mind the smaller control cities on that route, but dual control cities would be plus too. Interstate 840 outside Nashville is sign correctly for Knoxville, because thru traffic is encouraged to drive around city, not into Nashville. In North Carolina, you made a comment about Interstate 95 at the junction with Interstate 40. Todd , I like big cities as control cities, but sometimes you can suggest control cities at are too far away at certain points in your videos. At that junction, St. Petersburg is a good control city going north on Interstate 95 and Fayetteville is a good control city going south. Fort Bragg is in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Great video of Interstate 40 control cities going east. Great job.
Although the pull through control city heading east from Albuquerque is Santa Rosa, there is a mileage sign just past I-25 at the Wyoming Blvd interchange giving distance to Amarillo (281 miles). My guess is that when I-57 is completed down to Little Rock, the control city will be St. Louis, as the sign on US 67 (future I-57) just north of I-40 already lists St. Louis. Chicago would be almost 650 miles away, which is pretty far for a control city.
@@ControlCityFreak Missouri isn't afraid to list out-of-state control cities, so it wouldn't be surprising if they gave Chicago as the destination for I-57 northbound at Poplar Bluff, where US 67 would split off for St. Louis. Chicago already is the control city at Sikeston, just 40 miles east of Poplar Bluff.
@@ControlCityFreak Well, Memphis isn't in NC. 😉 That said, by Combined Statistical Area, the Raleigh-Durham-Cary CSA is the largest metro on all of I-40.
My Control Cities for I-40 East Flagstaff / Albuquerque Albuquerque Amarillo Oklahoma City Fort Smith / Little Rock Little Rock Memphis Nashville Knoxville Asheville Winston-Salem Greensboro Raleigh Wilmington
That point where I-40 crosses I-95 and you say 95 south should be Jacksonville. I think you also could say Savannah since that's also an important city.
You will sincerely enjoy I-70 westbound from Baltimore to Columbus. There are no signs on I-70 west of Frederick that mention Pittsburgh. Breezewood, yup. The Turnpike has such signs, and I-70 west of New Stanton point out Washington, PA and Wheeling, but some of the small towns...Lover, Speers, Eighty Four, West Alex....
Sorry random note. I drive I-90 every week for work, I-90 in NY breaks the mile marker rule. Eastbound numbers go down, westbound they go up. I believe it's supposed to be a countdown to NYC but not sure why they broke the rules. Also NY does exits chronologically and not based on mile marker.
Oh good info bi haven’t actually looked yet, do they mark 90 based on its own mileage, or the Thruway’s mileage? I know in KS they interrupt 70s mileage for 50 miles or so to sign the Kansas Turnpike
@@ControlCityFreak 90 mostly goes by the Thruway mileage. Then when 90 exits the Thruway in Albany, it gets its own mileage. Then when it gets on the Berkshire Section of the Thruway, it gets the mileage for that roadway. And 87 also has 3 sets of mileage. In the Bronx, then on the Thruway, and then the mileage resets when it exits the Thruway in Albany and 90 continues the Thruway mileage.
It took forever for them to finish it in NC. At 14:30 in the video 85N should be signed to Richmond VA because that's the road you would take to Petersburg then catch a short run on 95 to Richmond (like 20 miles). I used to drive it all the time Richmond to Atlanta.
There are two reasons as to why Santa Rosa would be signed out of Albuquerque : A : It's a holdover from US 66 or the original era of construction. B : It's the faster way to cities in Texas from Albuquerque like Lubbock, San Antonio, & Corpus Christi. Via US 84 from Santa Rosa to Roscoe; I-20 from Roscoe to Sweetwater; TX 70, TX 153, Runnels County Route 2111, & TX 158 from Sweetwater to Ballinger; US 83 from Ballinger to Junction; and I-10 from Junction to San Antonio. Either way, it should be Amarillo as the primary control city.
The worst control city on a sign I've seen is on I-77 north in Cleveland. There's a sign for I-490 to I-71 with Toledo as the control city. If they made it I-490 to I-90 with Toledo as a control city, that would be fine. But they used I-71, which isn't where most people would be going, and used a control city that is 100 miles from the highway they show. Oh, and when you get to I-90, the highway likes to exit itself.
I get why they didn't sign Columbus, there is no reason to sign Columbus on I-77 North, because you would be going south. However, on I-77 South, I would sign Columbus on I-490.
It's tough to figure what to sign 95 for when going east on 40, because anyone on 40 east who wanted to go to Richmond or Washington should have just taken 85 out of the Triangle. However, NC of course didn't sign Richmond for 85 when it should have, so that does make an argument for Richmond on 95.
Kingman will be the western intersection with the future I-11 that supplants US 93 as the bulk of the Las Vegas-Phoenix route. That is a good control. I-40 would make more sense turned northeastward to the highly-populous southeastern part of Virginia than to Wilmington, Switch it with 87, which would make sense.
the Kingman interchange should be built by 2025. my assumption is that upgrading US93 to interstate standards from that interchange to Hoover Dam will happen shortly thereafter.
They will probably never get I-87 into Virginia, because VDOT spends all of its money in NorVa and Richmond. Just like I-73 will never make it to Roanoke in my lifetime...As far as I-11 goes, north of Kingman only requires above grade crossovers, and a Kingman bypass to get it off of Beale St. The 11 is pretty much Interstate spec once it nears the Tillman Bridge...Anything south of Kingman? Good luck! That is a nasty piece of roadway to try to upgrade to a freeway...
I do think they should extend 57 to Little Rock, but the control city should be St. Louis. It will be faster to take it to 55 to get to St. Louis than to go all the way to West Memphis
8:37 Whenever state abbreviations are on signs, they should be in all caps for better readability. I saw a sign in Missouri that had "Dryersburg Tn" on the sign. Honestly, it looks so weird to not see two letter state abbreviations in all caps.
New sign standards require a cap followed by lower case for everything. Studies have found that people recognize words more quickly when written that way instead of the traditional all caps. This applies to small neighborhood road signs up to large interstate overhead signs. (We have some enamel all caps local street signs that had to apply for exemptions due to historical significance.) That said, state abbreviations should be two caps if only because the USPS state abbreviations are immediately recognizable to anyone. Multi letter ones (eg. Penna) should stay single cap.
@@jasonfullerton7763 Okay, but surely abbreviations & initialisms fall outside the scope of that requirement. It would be silly to see "Mlk Blvd" instead of "MLK Blvd".
I like the idea of signing Kingman first. It is essentially the metropolis of the high desert, and considering most of the people in this part of Arizona live in Lake Havasu City, it’s a great indicator of where to turn off for Vegas.
I-40 should be expanded west at least to I-5 if not to San Luis Obispo, and in the east should be rerouted along what is being built as “I-87” Raleigh to Wilmington should be a new interstate called I-97 that goes to Myrtle Beach via what NC plans to build as I-74.
North Carolina deletes few US routes in favor of Interstates. Contrast California, Arizona, new Mexico, Texas, Michigan, and Ohio. The idea was to have far fewer "messy" signs.
This could be a long list, so I’m preparing myself for a difficult time. But here goes: FLAGSTAFF: BEGINNING-Arizona Exit 178 (13.5 miles to the first exit in Flagstaff) ALBUQUERQUE: Arizona Exit 178-New Mexico Exit 117 (22.6 miles to the first exit in Albuquerque) AMARILLO: New Mexico Exit 117-Texas Exit 49 (13.1 miles to the first exit in Amarillo) OKLAHOMA CITY: Texas Exit 49-Oklahoma Exit 108 (24.3 miles to the first exit in Oklahoma City) FORT SMITH: Oklahoma Exit 108-Oklahoma Exit 151B (173.1 miles to the first exit with service to Fort Smith) WICHITA/FORT SMITH: Oklahoma Exit 151B-(I 35) Oklahoma Exit 128 (REAL Exit 153; 149.9 miles to the first exit in Wichita) FORT SMITH: Oklahoma Exit 128-Oklahoma Exit 321 (4.2 miles to the first exit with service to Fort Smith) LITTLE ROCK: Oklahoma Exit 321-Arkansas Exit 135 (11.9 miles to the first exit with service to Little Rock) MEMPHIS: Arkansas Exit 135-Arkansas Exit 265 (20.3 miles to the first exit in Memphis) JACKSON TN: Arkansas Exit 265-Arkansas Exit 277 (84.6 miles to the first exit in Jackson TN) JACKSON TN/JACKSON MS: Arkansas Exit 277-Arkansas Exit 279B (via I 55 S; 204.4 miles to the first exit with service to Jackson MS; 205.3 miles to the first exit in Jackson MS) JACKSON TN: Arkansas Exit 279B-Tennessee Exit 42 (34.1 miles to the first exit in Jackson TN) NASHVILLE: Tennessee Exit 42-Tennessee Exit 182 (11.6 miles to the first exit in Nashville) KNOXVILLE: Tennessee Exit 182-Tennessee Exit 208 (166.6 miles to the first exit in Knoxville) HUNTSVILLE/KNOXVILLE: Tennessee Exit 208-Tennessee Exit 210 (via I 65 S; 81.3 miles to the first exit with service to Huntsville; 109 miles to the only exit in Huntsville) KNOXVILLE: Tennessee Exit 210-Tennessee Exit 211 (163.4 miles to the first exit in Knoxville) CHATTANOOGA/KNOXVILLE: Tennessee Exit 211-Tennessee Exit 213A (via I 24 E; 122.3 miles to the first exit in Chattanooga) KNOXVILLE: Tennessee Exit 213A-Tennessee Exit 364 (10.7 miles to the first exit in Knoxville) KINGSPORT/ASHEVILLE: Tennessee Exit 364-Tennessee Exit 368 (via I 81 N; 110.2 miles to the first exit in Kingsport; 128.2 miles to the first exit in Asheville) ASHEVILLE/ RICHMOND: Tennessee Exit 368-Tennessee Exit 385 (via I 75 N; 140 miles to the first exit in Richmond) KINGSPORT/ASHEVILLE: Tennessee Exit 385-Tennessee Exit 421 (via I 81 N; 55.9 miles to the first exit in Kingsport) ASHEVILLE: Tennessee Exit 421-North Carolina Exit 33 (11.1 miles to the first exit in Asheville) HICKORY: North Carolina Exit 33-North Carolina Exit 119 (4 miles to the first exit in Hickory) WINSTON-SALEM: North Carolina Exit 119-North Carolina Exit 180 (7.9 miles to the first exit in Winston-Salem) GREENSBORO: North Carolina Exit 180-North Carolina Exit 203 (3.9 miles to the first exit in Greensboro) BURLINGTON: North Carolina Exit 203-(I 85) North Carolina Exit 132 (REAL Exit 228; 8 miles to the first exit in Burlington) DURHAM: North Carolina Exit 132-(I 85) North Carolina Exit 163 (REAL Exit 259; via I 85 N; 9.3 miles to the first exit in Durham North; 15.9 miles to the first exit in Durham South) DURHAM SOUTH: North Carolina Exit 163-North Carolina Exit 266 (8.4 miles to the first exit in Durham South) RALEIGH: North Carolina Exit 266-North Carolina Exit 284 (5.1 miles to the first exit in Raleigh) FAYETTEVILLE/WILMINGTON: North Carolina Exit 284-North Carolina Exit 328A (via I 95 S; 26 miles to the first exit with service to Fayetteville; 32 miles to the only exit in Fayetteville) WILMINGTON: North Carolina Exit 328A-North Carolina Exit 414 (5.4 miles to the first exit in Wilmington) Usually, I’m not in favor of adding suffixes to controls like states or cardinal directions, but this particular direction on I 40 has one instance of each where it may be necessary. There’s no reason why I 40 E and I 55 S should continue to prioritize Memphis as a primary when already in West Memphis (in my part of the country, controls get downgraded to secondaries a ways out from the actual city limits; I understand it because by now, it is all but guaranteed that the traffic is headed to the former primary control). As such, I start to prioritize the NEXT control. However, since both routes lead to different cities of the same name the state abbreviation is necessary here. Instance two is I 40 E and I 85 N approaching Durham. I was initially going to just delegate I 85 to Durham, but I 40 has SIX exits in Durham itself, so here, the cardinal direction would be a major help for motorists seeking a certain part of Durham. As for overhead signs, Needles and Barstow are really the only boo-boos made by California that I can find. Considering the size of the state, I’d say it does very good overall. Currently, Kingman isn’t quite big enough for my rules, but it is very close. Other than that, Arizona really is almost perfect. New Mexico, however, is a different story. While Gallup is sort of well known, when I hear Santa Rosa, I’m always going to think of Northern California before New Mexico, and Tucumcari is worse. In Tennessee, sticking with my new rule of treating Bristol like one city, it is fine as a control for I 81, but since I 81 also has FIVE exits in Kingsport, I’d like to see both as equals. But I’m not going to say this prevents Tennessee from being possibly a Top 3 state. As for North Carolina, I really don’t think it does too bad outside of Statesville (more akin to Albert Lea than Lake City is in my opinion). Benson gets off because leaving Raleigh, it looks like Wilmington is prioritized, as it should be.
US 287 should be converted to interstate standards from Amarillo to Fort Worth, major truck route. Then extend I-27 to I-70 in Limon, CO - cheaper than extending I-27 to North Dakota. Control city for US 287 should be Wichita Falls after Amarillo, since it’s a major city in Texas. Control city after Flagstaff would be Bakersfield on I-40. Since I-40 is planned to be extended west of Barstow. They’re converting CA 58 to interstate standards between I-5 & CA 99, which is called the Westside Phwy - that will soon be I-40.
I like that they sign Fort Worth on 287. I also think they should keep LA on 40 even after the extension. Just because 40 will go to Bakersfield won’t change that a huge amount of the traffic on it is headed for LA. AZ could have signed Bakersfield all along, it’s not like CA 58 didn’t exist.
The way it should be for me Flagstaff Albuquerque Amarillo Oklahoma City Fort Smith Little Rock Memphis Nashville Knoxville Asheville Statesville/Winston-Salem Winston-Salem/Greensboro Greensboro Raleigh Wilmington
I think that from Barstow, 40 east should be signed for the Grand Canyon. And that if they extend it to I-5 which they should, the control cities from Flagstaff westbound should be: Kingman or Las Vegas (because of I-11) Bakersfield (maybe LA and SF also) San Luis Obispo/San Francisco I say SF from Bakersfield because that is fastest way to the Bay Area, and there’s not much on I-5 between what is currently CA-58 and Tracy. It should not be Sacramento because CA 99 is the better way there from Bakersfield, especially if they upgrade it to an interstate
Here is how I'd sign the control cities for I-40 East: Flagstaff, Albuquerque, Amarillo, OKC, Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, Asheville, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Durham/Raleigh (during the I-85 concurrency), Raleigh, Wilmington, Downtown
Agree mostly. Would keep Fort Smith (decently big for the area, interstate junction), would only sign the big 3 in TN, and I think Asheville ticks all the boxes now (regionally big, not a suburb, interstate junction, reasonably famous). I wouldn’t sign anything beyond Wilmington since 40 barely crosses the city limits, but I get the Charleston appeal (bigger, in another state, way way more famous)
@@ControlCityFreak I can agree with your argument. Except, I would keep Charleston for like the last 2-3 miles on I-40. I-40 touches the center of Wilmington, and Charleston is pretty big.
Disagree with having Charleston as one of the control cities on I-40, since it doesn’t go there. After Flagstaff, the control city would be Bakersfield, since I-40 is planned to be extended west of Barstow. I would extend it to Santa Maria, CA.
Good eye, looks like it was July 2018. Not sure why it defaulted to that on mine but I checked the current view and 87 is there. Unfortunately on westbound it's still under a tarp on 8/21 GSV
You know, for the mileage signs, they should sign some Route 66 cities and towns. However, a few of them should be signed in overhead signs. Here's my opinion on how they should be signed for overhead signs: -Kingman, AZ •Flagstaff, AZ -Gallup, NM | •Albuquerque, NM •Albuquerque, NM •Amarillo, TX •Oklahoma City •Fort Smith, AR •Little Rock, AR •Memphis, TN •Nashville, TN •Knoxville, TN •Asheville, NC •Winston-Salem, NC •Greensboro, NC •Durham, NC •Raleigh, NC •Wilmington, NC
