In-progress Highway Systems & Work / Re: Mexico: Revision of Federal and State Expressway systems (mexdn + mexedn)

« Last post by neroute2 on Today at 02:08:49 pm »

There's a concurrency on MEX15DMex where I don't think there's supposed to be one. MEX15DMex's western terminus is correctly placed at the point where the central toll lanes separate from the free lanes (MEX15), but then the westernmost segment of MEX15DMex is shown to be concurrent with MEX15.

Fixed. Thanks.

the only one I couldn't was from changing MEX15D to MEX15DCha (since the obvious longer route became MEX15D).

It's fine if the route had no traveler since the alt route name would not be necessary at all. If there was a traveler, you should undo it since it is an active system!

Look at the route and tell me why the short spur should be 15D and the long trunk should have a suffix.

It's been updated: https://travelmapping.net/user/mapview.php?sys=mexd,mexed
I tried to keep all in-use labels and route names; the only one I couldn't was from changing MEX15D to MEX15DCha (since the obvious longer route became MEX15D).

Please let me know if there are any issues. Cheers!

It looks like my car-specific alternate user "a3" is done adding TM mileage.  I've tracked my travels in my 2015 Audi A3 since I bought it 5 1/2 years ago.  It finishes with 6573 TM miles from the 92,000+ miles I put on the car.  Its engine failed last week with only 101,000 miles on the car, and it's becoming clear it doesn't make sense to repair (which would require an engine replacement).

Not sure what I'll do next, as I wasn't planning financially for a car replacement any time soon.  I hate car loans in any circumstance, but when interest rates are what they are, it's especially unappealing to go much beyond what I could put toward a car from savings.

I ran into a similar problem 2 months ago.  Where I was looking at a car 23K miles past warranty and $2500 worth of bushings, bearings, and tie rods (amongst other repairs).  A week befire I was supposed to drive to Florida.  My wife commented that it “sounds like a car payment to me”.

I drove out of the dealership with a car lease.  Didn’t like the idea of a car payment again, but options were few.

Updates to Highway Data / Re: I-11 Nevada northern extension

« Last post by SSOWorld on Yesterday at 09:09:37 am »

Most notably, nonzero signs for I-11 in NV already exist. The other examples cited have no signs within the given state.

I think it's fine to go ahead with.

Light I-444 in OK, I-345 in TX, I-105 going past I-605, etc...

TM - where we include unsigned US Interstates because traditions, exclude unsigned everything else because....

This issue is occurring again, at least for me.

Work had me in the Bay Area this week, so it was a good chance to knock out some of the little remaining mileage between here and there. I stress "little" because, with the seasonal passes and one of the Delta ferries still closed, there's next to nothing I haven't driven that doesn't require a big detour. Grabbed the northern segment of CA 84 and its ferry on Monday, detoured for some segments of CA 12, 29, 121, and 221 (full clinch) at the beginning of the drive home, and I was able to work in both CA 113 and the slightly-realigned CA 20 in Nevada County on a "more reasonable" route home.

On the rail side, I clinched the BART yellow line and eBART going to/from a conference. Counties, I made my first entrances into El Dorado, San Francisco, Sutter, and Yuba for 2024.

Decent chance that this is my last new mileage until my next work trip, which will send me to Idaho next month. Either way, I really like this "employer-sponsored clinching" thing.

Ugh. That's no fun. I had to replace my car in late 2022 and interest rates have only increased since then.
