VA: US 11/I-81 Overlap
« on: August 16, 2024, 07:51:55 pm »
While updating my .list file today, I happened to look a bit more at US 11's path across VA, and found something interesting on one of the I-81 overlaps.  Between 167 and 168 on I-81, US 11 is concurrent with it northbound but not southbound.  Perhaps the concurrency should be broken in TM, as someone who only took I-81 SB through here technically wouldn't have been on US 11?

One interesting fact: what is signed as US 11 southbound between exits 167 and 168 is (mostly) inventoried and signed as F054. In other words, VDOT internally considers both directions of US 11 to hop on at exit 167, but has to sign southbound along F054.

Compromise that nobody will like: add F054 to the browser :o

The issue here, is there WAS an exit ramp there SB till at least Sept '19. https://maps.app.goo.gl/JcPcZCsXZyuC1Wv4A

So, anybody going SB on I-81 up till then at least DID clinch SB US-11 in that area.

The AARoads Wiki article states that the Exit 167 SB ramp was removed in 2022.

When I drove through the area earlier this year, I could see SR F054 south of Exit 168 without an issue heading south on I-81 so I probably would have kept the clinch as a sight clinch even if the northbound entrance at Exit 167 was removed.
