There is a plan to upgrade CA-210, along with the redesignated portion

Redlands, a distance of about 85 miles.

[I-81 @ US-250]
There's a similar effect on the Ohio Turnpike/I-80/90 westbound
starting about 1/2 mile east of the Toledo Airport and Exit 52
(SR-2). I guess that they caught the malfunction just into Indiana,
maybe at the Indiana Toll Road Eastpoint mainline toll booths, since
it clears up at MM 148, between Eastpoint and the first set of service

They already do. I had to drive between 75-80 on my recent short run along I-81
or risk being run over by drivers going 85 or higher.

No, it was to move troops and material to where they were needed from
where they were. Early in Ike's military career he was part of some
cross country trip and it went miserably as I recall.
The US didn't invade anyone it shared a border with in the second half
of the 20th century.
Centralized government tends to do that.

How about a plane?
Seriously, though, if you want to come down the Central Valley but avoid
L.A., you should take CA-58 from Bakersfield to Kramer Junction, then go
down US-395 to I-15. That's how all the trucks do it. There are motels in
Tehachapi and Mojave, but it's more likely that you'll get all the way to

That was at least in part due to the railway lobby, infiltrating
into party level. The r�gime was corrupt and rotten to the core.
Such was reported by General Walter Dornberger in his book on V2
development. The most hare-brained ideas conceived "by the
leadership" were pursued with utmost, wasteful vigour. This left few

This is one of my projects once the alternative is selected, involving
relocating US 17 around the towns of Belgrade and Maysville. The
corridor public hearing is scheduled for December 1, 2009; I thought
the maps were available online but apparently not.

A notable problem contributing to pressures for low speed limits on
America's Autobahn is that the Cities etc are apparently utilizing the
Interstates into City Street planning.
The intent of Eisenhower was to not do this.
Developers/local Planners/Politicians have turned stretches into
nightmares in cities and what was rural a few years ago. Stretches in

The "national 55 mph" is ancient history.
The vast majority of freeway mileage speed has been raised.
In the NE there are some old narrow and congested freeways where the
speed limit was 55 or 50 prior to the NMSL. The contraints of the
road (eg congestion or lousy ramps, tight curves, bridges, etc)

Yes much of the extra is stimulus money. But the last 2 years in
addition to the stimulus funding Congress also had to pass bills to put
money into The HTF to keep it solvent. That had never happened before.
Well yes there is a federal highway system. It is the interstate system
and a few other roads that for some reason aren't classified as part of

I don't think the Havasu bridge is even as long as it was in the Thames.

Mr McCulloch needs to edit the Wikipedia entry, then:
