AASHTO Fall 2023 Meeting

I don't think about these things to that degree much, but the appearance of 1 sign on any route makes it addable to TM, while quite often the removal of a route requires removing (nearly) all signs.

I can personally confirm that I-335 is entirely signed, I-344 is in the process of being signed, and the I-240 extension has not been signed yet.

New thread for I-335 and I-344:  https://forum.travelmapping.net/index.php?topic=6609.0

US 84 & Business 84 in Bainbridge GA were updated recently, probably in response to this thread, but there's no explanation of what was changed in the updates entry. Neither route has a point for the former junction.

[ntallyn]

The new point is less than 300 feet from the old point. To me, it didn't appear to be much bigger a change than realigning a curve.

[mapcat]

Is it worth an updates entry if it's just a realigned curve?

[michih]

Is it worth an updates entry if it's just a realigned curve?

No.

The US 70 Bus reversion to US 70 is for Clayton, not Smithfield

it's the Smithfield route in our browser.

Theory: did OK get the 3xx numbers for the Fut240 renumbering the wrong way around? Kilpatrick meets I-35, Kickapoo doesn't.

I started a new thread combining the NC 42 to NC 36 and US 70 BUS back to US 70 in Clayton.  (https://forum.travelmapping.net/index.php?topic=6687.msg36951;topicseen#msg36951)

• Item 28: Texas, US 87, I-27 Establishment of New Segment
  Description: TX DOT proposes a new routing, IH 27 to coincide with US 87 from the existing IH 27. The route will extend 4.2 miles to the South of the current IH 27 terminus in Lubbock, TX to the limits of US 87. Lubbock, TX is the focal point city with access control located approximately 0.1 mile north of Country Road 7500 South of Lubbock

FHWA has approved the extension recently (September 5, 2024).  Both Google & OSM now show this as well..  Can't find any news post 'saying' the signs are up yet however.

Also:

As those on current I-27 know, the current mile markers start at Exit 1 in Lubbock and continue to 124 in Amarillo. With the designated future interstate now beginning at Laredo, those mile markers will be updated. Lubbock and Amarillo TxDOT Districts are working on a plan to update mile markers.

However, this other news article says signs will be installed 'soon'. https://www.equipmentworld.com/roadbuilding/article/15706201/texas-dot-approves-i27-expansion

The new stretch of interstate will run concurrently with U.S. Highway 87 from the current I-27 terminus in Lubbock to 0.1 mile north of County Road 7500. New I-27 signs will soon be installed.
