This can happen when a highway and its entrance ramp are connected and/or have the same name in the database, and you try to start route calculation from nearby the ramp. It also can happen if you have an active route, but the unit is off, and you turn it on near the highway ramp. DirectRoute is helpful, but not perfect, at street guidance – so please use common sense and trust your judgment over any guidance instruction DirectRoute provides. See similar questions...

The Interstate system has been deemed adequate to handle the navigation task the US routes used to provide in many areas. Many state legislatures have adjusted their numbering systems over the years to make bookkeeping easier, and eliminated US routes or portions of them in the process. Since 1956, when the Interstate program was implemented in full, the mileage of the US system has decreased from 162,358 miles to 150,934 miles in 2004, or a net loss of 7%.

The National Highway System is a system of roads administered by the FHWA (see Question 4.1 ) that receives special funding from the federal government. It was started with ISTEA (see Question 4.3 ) in 1991. All Interstates are in it, but not all US Routes. Many state routes are included and even some city-maintained routes. More information is at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/hep10/nhs/ , as well as in the text of the United States Code Title 23, Section 103 ( http://frwebgate.access.gpo. See similar questions...

The decision to build a noise wall is based on criteria, policies, and guidance published by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and NCDOT. If your property is projected to experience future project- generated noise levels that approach or exceed the FHWA criteria for residential property (66 dBA Leq or above), then a noise wall will be considered. The noise wall must be reasonable, feasible, cost-effective, and able to provide at least 5 decibels of noise reduction. See similar questions...

Painting a ramp is always a good idea. Just like a house; do you see unpainted houses? Nope. They're painted to protect them from the elements. I'd strongly urge anyone to paint a ramp- especially if they're spending a lot on it. if you're going to spend serious money on a ramp, make sure it's going to last. Plywood surfacing should be painted on both sides, as well as all edges. See similar questions...

GUI construction with Perl" is a modern treatment of what's involved in use of Perl/Tk. It specifically details how first-time Perl/Tk programmers can install Perl/Tk usefully. A made & installed perl (requires a C language compiler). You may need different versions of perl depending on which version of Tk you wish to run. A linkable Xlib (.o, .so, .a, etc.) for X-windows. Perl/Tk has been successfully built using various vendors' cc compilers, as well as with the free GNU gcc compiler. See similar questions...

The 3000 can make beautiful prints with Piezography but I don’t think it's a good platform for negatives. Since the 3000 seems to witness unit-to-unit variations, there’s a chance some of them will work better than others. The fact of the matter is that the 3000 is getting long in the tooth when it comes to mechanical features and ink droplet size. See similar questions...

I-465 on the east side of Indianapolis, IN, between the US-36/SR-67 and US-40 exits, also carries US-31, US-36, US-40, US-52, US-421, SR-37, and SR-67, for a total of 8 routes on one highway, though only I-465 is posted along this stretch as all other routes following I-465 except I-74 have a sign reading "FOR [route shield][direction]/FOLLOW [I-465 shield]/to Exit [number]" on the onramps where they enter I-465 (see http://illi-indi.com/showFull.php?id=1452§ion=34652 ).

In 1944, Congress authorized construction of an interstate expressway system connecting major cities and industrial centers. No money was involved in the bill. The project never took off until the awarding of the first contract for I-70 in Missouri, in 1956. North Dakota was the first state to complete its Interstates.

The Trans-Canada Highways is over 7000 km long and stretches from Victoria, BC, to St. John's, NL. It is more of a special marker than anything, it changes numbers frequently, has a few loops and spurs (eg Northern Ontario and to PEI) and can range from a 2 lane country road through BC to an 8-lane superhighway through downtown Montreal. The TCH is just an agreement among the provinces for one highway linking the entire country. See similar questions...

No. We hope to over time build up a library of free ramp plans. to give away. Our first one will be the second version of the "R.P.D.O. mini" ramp featured on the RampPlans.Org site. Designed to cost as little as possible and be easy to build. We've already got the Preliminary plans available. Everything we have available gets put on the site. we don't have anything extra to send you directly, so please don't ask. if we have anything extra we'll post it on the site as soon as we can.
