[edit] Exit lists

As NevadaDOT doesn't provide exit lists like Caltrans does (see Cal-NExUS), I had to get the exit lists from this site: http://www.geocities.com/henryewatson/nevadaexits.htm That said, the exit list is still incomplete in terms of detail. I am also double-checking using Google Maps. Also, Mapquest looks interesting as well, as the exit numbers are directly on the maps.

Names for I-80 in Nevada:

  • Victory Highway
  • Dwight D. Eisenhower Highway
  • Purple Heart Trail

    a Pass/Fail:

This article is being placed on hold, as it has some major problems. First off, the article has a very short lead. The lead could be expanded a lot before I think about passing. Second thing is, many facts are still missing references. They include the whole "overlaps" section, some of the end sentences of paragraphs and there are AARoads is not acceptable for FA, but I can let it slide. This article will be placed on hold for the time being.Mitch32contribs 21:02, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
