Illustrations

I only have a cameraphone, so I can't be of too much photographic help - I don't think those pictures would be up to Standards.

If you want diagrams explaining where the road is and what we mean with all the multiplexing, I'd gladly do it if I knew of an open source map I could modify, since a hand drawing wouldn't be up to Standards.

I've added a number of photos I've taken over the years. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 09:13, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Mileage

From those mile marker indications....is the highway department planning on once again trying to truncate 128? (EmiOfBrie 13:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC))

I believe they did that when I-95 was routed over 128. Note that 0 is at US 1, where I-95 used to exit. The document I have is rather old - a handwritten note says "OLD Beginning! Now Begin @ I-95"

Are there any mileposts on 128? Do any of the town line signs have mileages? --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 14:24, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

The last time I saw non-I-95 mile markers on any part of 128 was back in the early 1980s, when there were still a few of the old white ones left on the shoulder. The one time I was on the section that is still *only* 128, I saw no mile markers of any kind in the median. (EmiOfBrie 18:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC))
