US 6 is the closest major road to Cedar Point. I'm not sure if you can see the CP skyline from 6 in street view, but please find a way to show roller coasters from US 6 in Sandusky. Thanks!
My request for i-485 in Charlotte will be exit 21 for NC 24 because it is the beginning of NC 24 and NC 24 is also the longest state highway in North Carolina and it goes all the way to Morehead city! I would like to see the exit! Thanks!
4:55 Nevada's DOT has been in the process of putting up all the I-11 shields for the freeway's run through the Las Vegas valley for the latter half of 2024. I do not know if the Google map pictures will show that in 2024, but Google maps itself most certainly will (cuz that change happened pretty early in 2024).
2:15 it is hilarious how ADOT puts the rest areas on the control city signs .... but honestly, I-10 only has SIX of them along its 390+ mile path through Arizona. and three of the six are between Phoenix and the California border. mile marker 4: Ehrenberg (this is the one in this video) mile marker 52: Bouse Wash mile marker 87: Burnt Well mile marker 184: Sacaton mile marker 320: Texas Canyon mile marker 387: San Simon
Having just come back on from Chiricahua National Monument ( _highly_ recommended!) to Phoenix a couple of weekends ago, they definitely need one bewteen Sacaton and Texas Canyon. Yeah, Tucson is right there, but they could definitely build one north of Tucson to fill in that gap. Otherwise, the distribution isn't too bad, as between Burnt Well and Sacaton, I-10 is basically running through the Phoenix metro area.
@@thomasrinschler6783 one just north of Tucson would be pretty close to Sacaton ... but I do think terrain has a lot to do with there not being one between Tucson and Texas Canyon. the truck stops on the 10 at Craycroft and Rita Roads in Tucson, and at Arizona 90 in Benson work to a point ... the one at Craycroft is a beast driving in/out of, though.
For US 6, the bridge over the Delaware between Matamoras, PA and Port Jervis, NY. My great grandparents used to live a few blocks away on US 6 and I’d walk over the bridge to NY a few times
About 80% of the I-11 signs have been changed east of I-15, but hardly any have been changed west of I-15. There was just an article saying they expect all signage changes to be done by next fall. I haven't read anything about them changing mileage markers to reflect I-11, but you're right, they should do that.
@@johnhblaubachea5156 Yes. East of I-15, it's long been signed I-515/US-93/US-95. It's only I-515 that's going away. West of I-15, it's still mostly signed as only US-95, but the signs should say I-11/US-95 when they're done. It's an open question what will become of US-95 whenever I-11 is complete to Reno (no time soon), because there will be hundreds of miles where there's no need for the US-95 designation. Maybe they'll make it discontinuous, or maybe they'll rename the part south of Vegas as something like US-595.
Todd, it was surprising to see that I-515 has been decomissioned since I-11 took the freeway portion as it passes through Las Vegas. Let's hope it extends to connect Reno. Lastly, in Paradise, NV, in memory of one iconic casino and hotel, Tropicana Las Vegas. Because of that, it'll be replaced by the new baseball field of the A's.
@@CrystalClearWith8BE taking I-11 through the central corridor on US95 (and decommissioning I-515) was the path that made the most sense. the other 'logical' one was putting I-11 on the loop that will completely be converted to I-215 at some point.
US 95A is the quicker route ton Reno (and Carson City via US 50 in Silver Springs), as it runs more northwesterly to meet I-80 in Reno, and I-80 runs NE from Fernley toward Winnemucca. Winnemucca is at the northern corner of the I-80/US 95/US 95A triangle.
For U.S 6, could you show Kipling Street in Lakewood, Colorado? When I used to work at FedEx in the southern part of the Denver metro I would use that part of the highway to get home if I-25 was too busy going through downtown
The Salmon River goes from the OR/ID border to almost the MT/ID border in a generally east-west fashion. There are very few crossings of it; US 95 has one of them with the Time Zone Bridge. The lack of crossings has led northern ID and southern ID to be culturally quite distinct.
17:20 us 95 is the closest to the Kibbie Dome at UI and Wazzu going left. Kibbie Dome is for the older ncaa college football video games back in their FBS days. They are now in the fcs.
May I also request the intersection of Hickory St, and Pennsylvania Ave. (Business Route 6 [much more intresting than 6]) in Warren, PA, aimed at the Flat Iron Building (eastbound). It is called that. When you get to US 6 or course
You mentioned Lakeview Or. as a control city. It sort of makes signing it since since it's on the old Winnemucca to the Sea highway, which winds up in Crescent City Calif.
Another interesting video, thanks Todd. If I-70 were extended West to the coast, I think it would be US. 50 when 95 is merged with it as part of its western expansion.
Hey Todd, two requests for US 6: - Junction with NY 293 as it is the route to West Point - Bear Mountain Bridge over the Hudson River. Absolutely beautiful scenery over there. Thanks!
@@ControlCityFreak If you wanna see Kentucky treatment signs, their northeasterly neighbors in Ohio have plenty of that. OH 4, US 68, US 42, OH 835, OH 159/OH 104 are just a few of the highways not covered that get this at any point.
5:20 No they did not, I’ve been through here a few times and that’s probably based on how far 95 is from the CA border (I-11/US-93 are less than 96 miles away from Arizona at this point)
and that most certainly IS US95's mileage from the California/Nevada state line. in fact, I-11 carries US95's exit numbers from the I-215 interchange onward, as I-515 (the freeway that I-11 is now on) carried US95's numbering too. from what I read ..... Nevada WILL NOT renumber the exits for I-11 while it "overlaps" US95. bcuz I-11 is the newer route, it will just carry the older route's (US95) numbers. I-11 would be about 55 miles from the Arizona border at that point. US93 splits off from I-11/US95 at I-15 in downtown Las Vegas and heads northward from there.
US 95 from I-10 to I-40 in California has some of the steepest ups and downs I ever encountered on any, and especially, US highways. They would definitely leveled more of the roadway if they built it these days. You'll definitely feel momentarily weightless and airborne at times. It's been a pretty long time since I drove this route so I wonder if some of it has been improved since California acts like Blythe and Needles are major cities when it comes to control cities lol so they should have a more modern connector highway, right?
I was on this road last year (2023) between Needles and Vidal Junction and I don't think it has been improved because those ups and downs are still crazy steep. It almost feels like a roller coaster! It's a bit of an astonishing contrast between how flat and wide the road in Nevada is
10:50.. yep definitely where it stops (or starts) getting so lonely. My friend practices Land Sailing on the dry lake in Austin, NV in the summer and Fallon is where he has to go to get groceries and it's 1.5 hours one way. They are thinking about putting in a general store/market in Austin but it's in the planning stages. It truly is the Lonelinest highway in America 11:55 Winnemucca is a blah boring town and even the locals agree. They have a nickname for the town which I can't type on TH-cam.. just change the M to a F and you got it.. the cleaner version used in polite company is Winnesmucca. 12:33 believe it or not this part of Nevada/ Oregon is big for land sailing on the lake beds and racing in the Spring/Summer so a lot of temporary tourist residents in the area in RVs and such. Winnemucca has a bunch of dry lakes just north of it and Lakeview is the biggest city in the Alvord dry lake area with the county only having 8,000 permanent residents. So for a niche crowd so as a secondary it's not horrible.
17:04 The reason this sign exists is because, given the roads in the area you would likely take that road from the small town of Uniontown over to Genesee, and to get to Moscow you could either take Thorn Creek Road or 195 from Uniontown or the area to Moscow. Hence, that small road is called the "Uniontown Cutoff", and why they only sign Genesee there instead of Moscow or Coeur d'Alene
I wanna mention, I take Interstate 485 around Charlotte a lot to avoid Charlotte traffic on Interstate 85, and US 74 (exit 9) goes to my hometown, Shelby NC! And US 6 goes to the Quad cities in Iowa and my cousin lives in this small town called Pleasant valley ia which isn't far from the quads!
11:24 the current long-range plan for I-11 would end a lot of US95's lack of interstate concurrency, as I-11 would overlap US95 for most of Nevada (if not all of it from Henderson northward to I-80, at least).
I believe that Nevada has prioritized building I-11 from I-215 to I-80 ... it's a matter of if I-11 will trek to Carson City/Reno proper, or if I-11 will stay east of both and follow US95/alternate US95.
Even though it's off of Alberta 22, would Calgary be a bad control city for US 95? Since it's the next major city on US 95 and BC l95/93 after Sandpoint
US 95 is so desolate in some places I wonder if it is listing control cities or gas stations. The part in Oregon and Nevada is pretty empty and I will stop for gas if I don't have over half a tank.
For a route this long, I think my list is relatively simple. As normal for U.S. Routes, I’m treating it as if it doesn’t have any concurrencies with Interstates. Yuma-Quartzsite-Blythe-Needles-Las Vegas-Tonopah-(Bishop) Hawthorne-(Carson City/Reno) Fallon-(Ely) Lovelock-Winnemucca-(Boise/Ontario) Payette-Lewiston-Moscow-Coeur d’Alene-Sandpoint-Cranbrook. I am pretty familiar with this route from Fallon to Payette, as it forms part of the shortest route between my home in Reno and my grandmother’s home in Walla Walla. I’ve also been on the route to and from Las Vegas, so I have a major point of contention. Alt 95-50-NV 439-I 80 is, according to Google Maps, one minute faster than 95-50-Alt 50-Alt 95-I 80 along the two hour drive between Hawthorne and Reno. However, I can’t say I’d recommend the route through Fallon because Fallon alone has close to a dozen traffic lights that will slow down the drive. That, and there’s two more in Fernley. The route through Yerington only has a couple of stop signs, and if you use NV 439 (USA Parkway) to cut over to I 80 instead of following the route all the way through Fernley, there’s only two traffic lights to deal with. I would caution that there is still a major bottleneck just south of Fernley where Alt 95 meets U.S. 50 (it used to be a four-way stop; now it’s a roundabout), but this junction can be avoided altogether by using a cutoff (Ramsey Weeks) that will end at U.S. 50 just southwest of the eastern terminus of NV 439. My last point is an explanation for my choice of Cranbrook to end this list. It’s a city of about 20k, which is HUGE in this part of British Columbia, and it’s only 80 kilometers (or 50 miles) away from the international border.
Hey, I live right near Sandpoint! Personally I think you should sign Sandpoint, Bonners Ferry as a auxiliary and Canada. This is because Sandpoint is a lot bigger in population and has a lot of shopping, particularly people from surrounding areas and even Canada come down to Sandpoint to shop at Walmart, etc.
Fun fact: The Arizona section of US 95 was originally AZ 95 from 1936 to 1960. Having driven on both AZ 95 and the California section of US 95, I think an argument could be made that AZ 95 is just as important, if not more so. I think ADOT should consider making AZ 95 a US highway in the future.
How about DC-area silliness for Inauguration Day? All three of these should take you about 10 minutes total: I-370 in Maryland (runs from the end of the ICC to... a Target), I-295 in DC (runs from the Beltway to the Anacostia Freeway where it becomes DC-295) and I-695 in DC (runs from the I-395 turnoff to I-295).
So Idaho state highways aren't numbered in the same way most states do it. They're roughly assigned in order from northwest to southeast up to about 40, then it's more random from there. There's a lot of very low number state highways in the Panhandle for that reason. Idaho also makes a big deal of Lewiston since it's the state's only port. Yes, really! Landlocked Idaho has a port, so it doesn't come as a surprise to me why the Lewiston to Boise corridor is well signed. Also I'm surprised you pronounced Kooskia right, but your Weiser and Moscow pronunciations were a bit off, it's more like wheezer and MOSS-co.
16:55 at one point US95 did very briefly enter Washington for just under a mile before US195 was extended in 1977. I’ve also been wondering, would you ever plan on doing a US26 video?
I think I will do US 26 at some point. I love covering the western roads, and the concurrencies with 20 could help reduce the workload on eventually covering that beast lol
US 6 is the closest major road to Cedar Point. I'm not sure if you can see the CP skyline from 6 in street view, but please find a way to show roller coasters from US 6 in Sandusky. Thanks!

All three of these should take you about 10 minutes total: I-370 in Maryland (runs from the end of the ICC to... a Target), I-295 in DC (runs from the Beltway to the Anacostia Freeway where it becomes DC-295) and I-695 in DC (runs from the I-395 turnoff to I-295).
I considered it, but hopefully the Chiefs will be getting ready for the Divisional Round then
@@ControlCityFreak Keep in in your back pocket in case Mahomes becomes mortal and Kelce decides there's less CTE involved in being a househusband :)
I'd actually have CRANBROOK signed once one got close to the Canadian border as that's the major town in southeast British Columbia.
Looking forward to US 20 too..
So Idaho state highways aren't numbered in the same way most states do it. They're roughly assigned in order from northwest to southeast up to about 40, then it's more random from there. There's a lot of very low number state highways in the Panhandle for that reason.
Idaho also makes a big deal of Lewiston since it's the state's only port. Yes, really! Landlocked Idaho has a port, so it doesn't come as a surprise to me why the Lewiston to Boise corridor is well signed.
Also I'm surprised you pronounced Kooskia right, but your Weiser and Moscow pronunciations were a bit off, it's more like wheezer and MOSS-co.
Now I’m doing us 30 currently in Illinois
Looking forward to US 6..
Todd - what do you think is the longest US highway that never has an Interstate concurrency?
I just looked it up, and amazingly, it seems it's US 20!
@@ControlCityFreak US-20 is concurrent with I-84 east of Boise!
Yeah just saw that. Shocked that ChatGPT made a mistake lol
6 will be a fun video
16:55 at one point US95 did very briefly enter Washington for just under a mile before US195 was extended in 1977.
I’ve also been wondering, would you ever plan on doing a US26 video?
I think I will do US 26 at some point. I love covering the western roads, and the concurrencies with 20 could help reduce the workload on eventually covering that beast lol
@@ControlCityFreak Awesome! I’ll have to keep my eye out if you do. I have some request ideas for that one.
Hey you have subtitles
The reason why Lewiston is listed so much is because it's Idaho's only seaport.
Plus, there's really nothing else up that way
Pend Oreille is pronounced like 'Pond' 'Er' 'Ray' 😊
The only reason Barstow CA is even signed is to get your kicks on Route 66
All the more reason to sign LA!
@@ControlCityFreak I guess they were too busy thinking about Radiator Springs.
Lake Pend Oreille isn't too bad to pronounce. It's "Pond Or-aye" Northwest places love to have strange spellings 😂
