[edit] Signs

If these roads are "unsigned", then why are there pictures of signs in the article? Ardric47 05:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Unsigned means that there's no signs indicating that this is Interstate A1, for example. A1 is unsigned because there are no signs on it saying that it is A1; it has other route numbers on it. This designation only exists on paper thus. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 05:45, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Right, so why are there graphics for Interstate markers? Ardric47 07:16, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Just for the heck of it. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 02:36, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
FHWA uses them on maps: [1] --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 04:40, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Do they even meet Interstate highway standards?

By looking at maps of Alaska's roads, there seems to be no indication of any limited access, 4+ lane roads in the entire state, with at least some median in the middle. So should these even be called interstates on paper? --NicAgent 13:33, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Well the FHWA considers them Interstates. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 16:49, 27 May 2006 (UTC)


They are there, NicAgent, but not in great amounts. The only stretch long enough to show on a full-state map is perhaps 50 miles in total. The rest are either contained within or don't go far from Anchorage and Fairbanks, so they wouldn't show up unless your map is at least wall-sized.
I'm with you, though, the entire idea seems kind of like un-BJAODN-worthy BJAODN. But it is what the FHWA says... —Zero Gravitas 17:39, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maps for each highway


If anyone splits this article into four for each of the "highways," maps are available for the individual routes. Cheers. Stratosphere (T/C) 05:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I want separate articles for all four Interstates!!! -Thank you.

There are pictures for each interstate, and maps for each interstate, and sign pictures for each interstate! Shouldn't there be seperate articles for each interstate? I want four different articles, as a BIG fan of Wikipedia (really, I have a picture of Wikipedia's logo on my bedroom wall). Please consider this. Thanks a lot.

Probably, I'll add it to my long to-do list. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 22:37, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
