Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / November 2006New Interstate 99 video
Hi All, Ready for your viewing is an Interstate 99 video. There is an overview of the route's layout, including the gentleman whose idea made that route a reality, and finally some visualisations of local traffic while overlooking a duplexed shield-gallery: http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com/i-99.wmv The video begins in Bedford, PA, USA, some hundred feet north of the onramp from US Federal Business Route 220. Enjoy! Cheers, Carl Rogers ----------------- Calrog.com, Pictures of Highway Shields: http://hwy-shields.calrog.com Videos of Worldwide Highways: http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com Concise, Sampled RSS Edition: http://hwy-shields.calrog.com/phs-rss.xml Highway Shield & Travel Literature: http://www.lulu.com/calrog-bookstore ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Feedback/input to CALROG.com is always appreciated. It has always been my intent to respond to all input, to which you may have been previously exposed! But due to the sometimes overwhelming amount of input and the unpredictable nature of such, more research and time is needed to prepare my responses. That said, feel free to e-mail me w/ any input you may have, and I'll get back to you w/in 24 to 36 weekday hours. Thank you & happy travels! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ladies and Gentlemen (and I use those words loosely), Carl Rogers said in rec.autos.driving: > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > The video begins in Bedford, PA, USA, some hundred feet north of the onramp > from US Federal Business Route 220. Schuster's Folly! Thanks for the ride. I had wondered what that road looked like (dunno when I'll get that way to see it myself...)  Signature"My tars have been bald for two years.

I wonder if you said that to a local. That woulda been a hoot. I lived in the area for a bit-I know those folks. Bet you cut a fine figure in Bedford, PA, USA. I thank you for yr service, because any o' the local citizenry who encountered yr goofy arse *had* to feel better about themselves after. Those ppl need whatever laughs they can get. Actually, wouldn't that be "Business US Federal Route 220"? That is if there were such a thing as "federal" routes. Which there aren't. Still, no matter how much you insist that there are. It's not the American Association of *Federal* Highway and Transportation officials that sets the numbers, its the American Association of *State* Highway and Transportation Officials. They're state highways. In the case of the Shysterway, it's not even that. It's a number legislated by a pig who fed long and hard at the public trough. SignatureThe Rt.

I think we've already gone over this with Carl in the past and it's clear, to me at least, that he really doesn't care. Both about accuracy or about preventing confusion. NO ONE calls it "US Federal Business Route 220" -- not the locals, not PennDOT, not us m.t.r'ers, not any- one -- but Carl likes to be "different", even if it causes confusion or frustration... Anway, if *I* were Carl, I would call it "The United States of America Federal Government Business Highway Route Two-Hundred Twenty", as "U.S." is an abbreviation that may cause confusion and if we're spelling every- thing else out, for consistency and accuracy, we really *should* also spell out the numbers as well. It only makes sense!
