So, the other examples of this in the HB are:
TN KY1076
NY PA44
NY PA434
WV OH833
NH VT105
NH ME110
MD WV46elk
There's also ME
NH113A, officially an unnumbered townway. Don't know if it was simply forgotten about, or if it was given a pass because it has to go meet its parent route,
ME113.
In all of these instances, the route in question is 100% consistently signed as ending at the intersection past the state line, with zero "TO" banners.
NH ME110 has
this, as well as signage from both directions of NH153. ME ME110, OTOH, has
an END sign at the state line.
Yes though, zero "TO" banners.
It is worth noting as well that the number of these cases where the route from one state officially exists within the other is exactly zero. TN KY1076 is considered internally by TDOT to just be part of the intersection. NY PA44 is considered likewise by NYSDOT. NY PA434 is officially part of Sullivan CR11. WV OH833 is inventoried by WVDOH as WV62 Spur. And both NH examples are officially unnumbered roads within NH.
For situations like this, I would look at how both DOTs involved define things: both the one corresponding the
Region the route is in, and the one defining the route's
System. IE, what to KY, PA, OC, etc. DOTs have to say?
For example, ME NH153 is considered enough of a state route by NHDOT to show up in the shapefiles.
(To be clear though, I don't consider this one of "these cases", as it connects two NH segments of NH153 rather then end in a "foreign" state.)For PA NJ90, there is a "TO" banner on some signs, but not others, so this if allowed would represent a lowering of the bar and would open up a lot more cases where this sort of thing would be allowed (NY NJ23 is one example that immediately comes to mind of having "TO" on some signs but not others).
Since signage in the field is the only source backing the inclusion of these route segments, I am opposed to doing so in any case where said signage is not consistent.
I do believe that eventually all of the signs will say "TO NJ 90". If that in and of itself disqualifies it, then so be it.
I also think the TO signs would disqualify including PA NJ90.
This is the reason that I noted that I would not have even posted this as a consideration if it was not a freeway.
As far as its status as a freeway goes, I don't really have a problem with including
BetRossBri in
usasf. What the heck, we've got
WA WSeaBri, right?
