I think.afarina.list:RI US6 I-95(22) I-195(1B)
bhemphill.list:RI US6 I-95(22) I-195(1B)But I don't think there's any real advantage to using "1B" over "1D". We'd trade a label that could be confused for the Gano St exit with a label that could be confused for the Eddy St exit. By using 1D, we avoid breaking any lists.
RIDOT really handed us a steaming little pile with that one. They shoulda gone with 1A/B/C/D/E/F/G IMO.
...Which makes me have 2nd thoughts. Edit pending...<rant>
We have 2 different exit numbering schemes what traveling opposite directions. Crap like another Exit 4 in York was part of the reason Maine switched to mileage-based in the first place! RIDOT, yr doin it wrong!
The new exit numbers for I-195; RI 10; and RI 37 have been posted to the RI DOT site.

The I-195 renumbering begins on 12/2/19.
Unlike the current fudging and "exceptions for short distance roads" in Massachusetts, RI is going into the alphabet soup.
And they go the Caltrans shite way of not skipping letters for partial interchanges. So Gano Street is 1A eastbound but 1D westbound.
We want to address this in the MUTCD, but obviously that won't be until the next edition.
What if the public starts roaring about how this makes no goddamn sense & they keep getting lost, how their exit numbers send them to the wrong place?
What if in the future RIDOT pulls its head out of its hoop, and renumbers the eastbound exits to something sensible?
If that were to happen, the "1D" label at Gano St would be more future-proof.
Whatever happens, afarina.list will need to change anyway, because Exit 2.
I'll send Sent bhemphill a PM.
