It was a map with highway routes marked by lines like they are and showed enlagred signs next to them call a directory map does anyone know anything of them?

Hey all, I have just created a community for highway maintenance workers if anyone is interested! r/highwaymaintenance

It starts in the south on the border with Baja California, and ends in the north on the border with British Columbia.

If so, how many until it would be considered a boulevard or other road? Example: see E. Independence Expy in Charlotte, NC

Thanks

Hey, guys, I'm new to this community, but I have somewhat of an interest/obsession with US Highways and Interstates. If anyone's interested, here's an essay I wrote for my Advanced Composition class last year --> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C74Y1Iz-FLbxkPKIernZEenaa3pkLRFq/view?usp=sharing

I'm thoroughly intrigued on the histories of highways and the futures of prominent projects such as those of I-11 from Phoenix to Las Vegas and US 41/I-69 from Michigan to Texas. I've also written answers about Interstate highways on the Q&A site Quora that I might share here if anyone would be interested.

Excited to be here and talk about my interest with others who are interested as well!

I was just thinking, does a job exist where a person drives around the city, checking the quality of paint, pavement, street signs, and signals, then go back to the central office and report bad pavement or bad road lines and all that, so the government can take necessary action?

Where could this job be found if it exists? I’m a road geek.

Thanks

Why aren’t they used in cities? Why aren’t they everywhere? Are they cheap to build compared to a signal or stop sign? How much gas does it save? Are they pedestrian-friendly compared to a signal or stop sign?

All I can think of is that it saves gas, money, and the environment by (with the exception of some stupid drivers that don’t know how to use a roundabout) not requiring a stop by any car on any road.

Thanks

I’ve only gotten answers that say “to make it more simple” but imo it just makes it twice as complicated as it used to be. What if a street at an intersection is one-way west but your destination is to the right? You have to make a circle around the block! I just don’t get it
