The pictures framing this page come from Kurumi's SignMaker Java application, a great way to pass time. They depict what a signpost might look like on the unbuilt extended Sheridan Expressway through the Bronx. If Exit 51 existed (hey, it's my imaginary highway, I can make my own imaginary exits!), it would be the exit to get to the house on Hunt Avenue where I was born. Would be the exit to get to my house, that is, as long as my house wasn't ripped apart to make way for the unbuilt extended Sheridan Expressway.

Something about road maps has always done something to me. The following include some of the better highway pages I've hit.

Scott Oglesby's Kurumi's Humble House of Roadsdom. Included: more amazing stuff than you can mention here. But we'll try: There's the Connecticut Roads page, with information on all kinds of state highways, and Three-digit Interstates page, all about those spurs and loops. There's the aforementioned SignMaker, which created the top and bottom banners here and can do much more. There's the annoyingly fascinating "TrippyDrive '71" (take I-99 all the way out to California for a Connecticut-related joke that will either fly past you or will leave you gasping for air from laughing.) And perhaps most importantly, the Roadgeek Fake South Park episode.

Steve Anderson's The Roads of New York site, with historical information about some of those gleams in Robert Moses's eye, along with details on just about every significant highway in the metropolitan area. Fascinating and well-researched.

The Unofficial Connecticut Turnpike Homepage has some nifty photos of old exit signs.

ZZYZX's Interstate page.
