CA: Missing I-5 truck routes
« on: January 17, 2025, 04:19:01 am »
Not only are there I-5 truck routes through the CA-14 interchanges, which are listed in TM, there are I-5 truck routes just below that at the I-405 interchange, and another way up at the south end of CA-99. Shouldn't they be listed? You don't have to be a trucker to drive them.

The reason the one I-5 Truck is on the site, is because it's a completely separate highway from the mainline I-5, and has it's own interchanges.

The others are part of an interchange, which in our books would count them as a 1PPI (1 point per interchange), and thus, not get a separate route file.  As for the I-5/405 one, you could just consider those C/D lanes, kinda like ON-401 in Toronto, and thus, stay as part of the main route.

Also, the Newhall I-5 truck route in the HB has a different centerline than the main lanes, with all of the truck lanes east of all of the main lanes. The other truck routes have more or less the same centerline as the main lanes.

Okay, fair enough.
