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 ).

There are no routes, either state or county, signed with two different route numbers. Hawaii DOT seems to hate multiplexes, and indeed the last time there was one (between routes 63 and 83 in Kaneohe, in the 1960s), Hawaii DOT eliminated it by renumbering part of one of the overlapping routes.

provides information for all Interstate, US and State Highways (K Routes) in the Kansas State Highway System, as well as all Kansas Turnpike routes. For longer routes, information is provided in segments of about 60 miles each.

The ministry's Web site offers a distance query program to help you calculate the distance between many B.C. locations. This service can be accessed through the following link: http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/bchighways/distances/calculator.htm There are also many commercial sites to consider.

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%. Sep 26, 2004

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.

A handful of new US routes have been created recently. Some of these are out of the original numbering system and appear to use a new numbering system based on a multiple of 12.5 (in other words 437 may be next). US 412 is a NHS/ISTEA High Priority Corridor, and was designated in 1982 (see http://www.aaroads.com/high-priority/corr08.html ). It might become a future Interstate.

Routes are based on best available due to traffic, road conditions or accidents. PCH is the most common route taken.

The current AASHTO policy on U.S. highways says routes with directional suffixes and single state US routes should be renumbered or decommissioned. However, the locals and traveling public are used to the existing signage, and would be confused if such renumberings took place. Former and existing split routes are listed at http://www.us-highways.com/usdiv.htm . Mar 4, 2002

Prior to the US-numbered routes, many states had already established state route systems. With the advent of US routes, most following existing state routes, most states removed the original state route numbers at some time, but AL, FL, GA, and TN kept them in their records for maintenance purposes. Most are unposted outside GA, although a few errors get out. GA, however, posts them consistently. AL, FL, and GA also give maintenance numbers to the Interstates (GA's are in the 400s).

Yes, the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component combined with QuickTime Pro will allow the transcode of MPEG-2 video to other formats, whether that video originates in an elementary video stream or in a multiplexed stream. However, the audio that is interleaved with the video in a multiplexed stream cannot be transcoded to other formats. Transcoding is supported for video only.

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.

KY-2920 near Lawrenceburg in Anderson County is recorded as 0.007 mile (equal to 36.96 feet - see http://www.kytc.state.ky.us/planning/sprslistings/sprs.htm ). VT-26 in Lemington, formerly touted as the shortest, is officially recorded as a rounded 0.01 mile, equal to 52.8 feet (photos at http://www.roadgeek.org/waste_of_film/page5.html ), but is actually 69 feet long, making it longer than both KY-2920 and KY-2250 in Louisville (0.009 mile, equivalent to 47.52 feet).

VA's George Washington Memorial Parkway has the "secret" inventory number of 90005, with the Dulles Access Road and the Colonial Parkway elsewhere in the state being numbered 90004 and 90003 respectively. http://www.vahighways.com/route-log/va800-999.

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.

Summer routes are not marked. In the winter, suggested routes are only intermittently marked with blue diamonds, except within Wilderness Areas where they are intermittently marked with tree blazes. From one trail marker, the next marker is usually not visible, so route finding may be the most important skill you'll need for a successful trip. Many alternate routes also access the huts - these are usually unmarked and are not designated on 10th Mountain brochures or official maps.

Winter routes to the huts often contain sections of cross-country travel, whereas summer routes follow established roads and trails. Winter snowpack makes off-road, off-trail travel more feasible. Obstacles such as water and dense vegetation can make winter routes impassible during the summer. Summer routes are not marked, however, they are indicated on summer maps produced by 10th Mountain.

The human immune virus (HIV) can only be transmitted when the virus comes in contact with the blood cells. These are the main ways in which HIV can be transmitted: Injection or transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products, donations of semen (artificial insemination), skin grafts and organ transplants taken from someone who is infected. From a mother who is infected to her baby; this may be during the course of pregnancy, at birth and through breast-feeding.

AZ, MS, RI, and WA, and reportedly CT, DC, SD, and UT, formerly used a system based on direction, with AZ briefly using them again for its Phoenix loop highways. KS used green and white markers for US 56. NE and WI used yellow shields on City routes (analogous to business routes), and AK, GA, MD, SD, and OH use green on some or all current US and state business routes.
