[edit] Name

I am dropping the Washington, DC from the article name as only a small portion on this highway lies in the district and the majority lies in the state in Virginia, thus leading to the article name being deceptive. --User:Boothy443 | comhrÚ 20:39, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rush Hour Pic?

There is no way that picture is rush hour! Maybe we should rename it! User:nbdinz 17:43, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] HOV Law

Hasn't the HOV for hybrids been extended? KevinPuj 11:18, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Sort of. My understanding is that any hybrid registered with special plates is grandfathered to use all HOV lanes through June 2007. Any new hybrids registered this year are eligible to use the HOV-2 lanes (I-66) but not HOV-3 (I-395) through the middle of next year. It was on a VDOT site; I'd need to track it down again. —C.Fred (talk) 19:34, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signage: "I-95"

FWIW, the street underneath L'Enfant Promenade (10th St. SW, I guess) has signs that still direct motorists to Interstate 95 (or, 95 and 295), with "Washington DC" "District of Columbia" underneath the word "Interstate" inside the shield. The signs do look like they've been there for a long time. I thought this was worth mentioning in the article but all I can offer for proof is an eyewitness account. Maybe next time I'll have a camera with me. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:28, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

You mean the ones in commons:Category:Interstate 95? --NE2 23:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Yes! This sign. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:39, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maps on exit list

Twice the maps have been removed from the exit list under the guise that they don't belong, citing WP:ELG and WP:USRD/MTF. I argue that those are mere guidelines, not firm standards, as the language in both indicates (the first, explicitly so, the second by implication). That the maps aren't perfect is no justification for their removal -- if they can be improved, let them stand until improved. I'm going to put them back in if there aren't any good responses here indicating why they should remain out. Additionally, "upside down" is a matter of opinion -- they are oriented to go in the same direction as the exit list so they can be read in parallel. Jkatzen (talk) 18:19, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
