[edit] Highways

I am sorely tempted to rewrite this section to be broken out based on the named highway corridor instead of the Interstate numbering. The corridors were planned to fit Chicago; the Interstate numbering was overlaid on top of existing corridor planning after the fact and is therefore excessively confusing. I think the article would be clearer if we based the discussion on the named corridors instead. Kelly Martin 21:09, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

As a roadgeek that usually calls roads by their number, I agree. Treatments of roads in cities should concentrate on the name, giving the number almost as an afterthought. --SPUI (talk) 21:58, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The numbering system copied in Milwaukee?

Milwaukee has its own numbering system too like in chicago. see Milwaukee. Did they copy it out from the Chicago numbering system?
