In Raleigh, NC, the main bypass basically just circles around the city, so rather than marking it N/S/E/W anywhere, it's just designated as inner loop if you're moving clockwise, and outer loop if you're moving counter-clockwise.



Also N-S interstate highway numbers get bigger from west to east, while E-W interstate highway numbers get bigger from north to south. The opposite is true for US highways(because US highways came first and the north had their **** together quicker than the south in building them). Major interstates end with a 0 or 5, major US highways end in a 0 or 1.

The only three-digit major highway is US 101 on the west coast, because they technically count 10 as a single digit.

(And for the record, that's all mostly trivia and I don't think the overall knowledge is any lesser or greater than it was 30 years ago, unless you want to argue that nobody needs to look at a map anymore)


The 35W-35E thing is how bypasses/spurs used to be named prior to 1973 when government naming regulations changed(so far example, instead of 694, it would have been called 94N). It stuck in Minnesota and Texas because the idea is a little easier to understand with each running through a major city.

I think you meant the E-W interstate highways get bigger from South to North, don’t you?

Is this always the convention? That would help a little.

I've always wanted beltways to be labeled C and A ("Clockwise" and "Anti-clockwise") instead of directions. I can never remember whether I'm going clockwise when I'm on the f-cking Beltway.

I was in the Cook Islands in September. The main island, Rarotonga, has a ring road. Almost the only road. Anyway, there are two buses- anti clockwise and clickwise. I thought it was aptly names

I mean if you can't remember which part of the loop has you going which way I don't think road signs are your biggest issue. :p

Holy sh-t. I never noticed that. It works with double loops too:

Outer loop, outer lane: A
Outer loop, inner lane: C
Inner loop, outer lane: A
Inner loop, inner lane: C

Outer lanes always A
Inner lanes always C

Wow. How have I never noticed that? That's pretty upsetting.

Check his Facebook page! He probably liked a Bernie speech from a couple years back, so therefore he's a violent racist liberal Demoncrat!
 
Re: Nice Planet 14: You People Make Me Sick

So angry right now. Angry.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/09/us/teacher-arrested-louisiana.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur

A Louisiana teacher who stood up at a school board meeting and asked why the superintendent was getting a raise while educators and support staff were not was ejected from the room by a marshal, handcuffed on the floor and put into a patrol car.

The arrest on Monday of the teacher, Deyshia Hargrave, was recorded by local media station KATC-TV, and a 12-minute version was posted on YouTube. It was widely shared, generating comments online that appeared supportive of Ms. Hargrave, who is listed as an English teacher at Rene A. Rost Middle School in Vermilion Parish on the southern Louisiana coast.

Ms. LeBeouf, who voted against the renewal, said teachers had gone without a permanent raise in 10 years. She said Ms. Hargrave taught at Rene Rost Middle School, where she won a teacher of the year award in 2016.

“Superintendent, how are you going to take a raise” when classes have grown from 21 to 29 students? she asked. “And we have not gotten raises. How are you going to take that money, because it is basically taking it out of the pockets of teachers.”

A man on the board pounded a gavel. “Stop right now,” he said, saying her question was not germane.

Boardmember says question wasn't germane? **** you.

It is fun to listen to google talk it out. "Take exit 41A onto Interstate 35 west south."

Mentioning talking GPS, imagine going to the town named "North East Maryland": from I-95 take Maryland 272 south to North East.

Yup, been there, done that.
