[edit] Hoxie Scenic Overlook

Hello. I took a panoramic image of the Hoxie Scenic Overlook. Is there somewhere I can post it?

[edit] Exits 77 to 79

Does anyone have any knowledge as to why there are no exits 77, 78, or 79 on I-95 after it leaves the Turnpike in Waterford?

[edit] SR 695

695 really has absolutely no signage. It is confusing as hell, especially since Google Maps tells you to take it BY NAME.

[edit] Exit list

Whomsoever created/edited the exit list seems to have confused Route 395 with Route 95. Route 95 continues along the coast going through Waterford, New London, over Gold Star Bridge, Groton, Mystic, North Stonington, Clarks Falls - and into Rhode Island. I do not have all the numbers handy but it is from Exit 81 to Exit 93. I am new to wikipedia and do not know how to change such a large error as this. Devraj50 (talk) 14:07, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

There are some problems with Polaron's edits, including:

  • South Norwalk is a full interchange; the southbound exit splits from exit 15. The US 1 interchange just to the south is only missing a northbound exit.
  • The main part of exit 25 is in Bridgeport.
  • Why was exit 27 split?
  • Route 127 does not seem to be signed on I-95.
  • Exit 45 is full; the northbound exit is via a right turn off exit 44.

You are correct about Exit 14 and 15. Half of northbound exit 25 (the on-ramp) is indeed in Bridgeport so we can move that one as well if that is preferable. Exit 27 is split - the northbound is to Myrtle Avenue and the southbound is to Lafayette Avenue, even though both are signed for Lafayette Avenue. So, no matter what direction you're going, 27 always comes before 27A. The split reflects that fact. Route 127 has been signed since the bridge was reconstructed in 2003 after the fuel tanker explosion.[1] Exit 44 is not the same as 45 -- 44 is for Kimberly Avenue and 45 is for Ella Grasso Blvd. However, if you prefer to essentially combine them, we can do that. I'll fix these up in a bit. --Polaron | Talk 12:31, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
