[edit] Name

I have moved this back to the version with the H capitalized, as the term seems to be Interstate Highway, not Interstate highway. --SPUI (talk) 02:20, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Are Interstate highways going to fall out of the alignment scheme in the future with all these ooa interstates (e.g. I-99 and I-3)? --SuperDude 04:24, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, and they'll get major potholes while doing so. A few large cracks in the longer ones. --SPUI (talk) 05:04, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

How about the proposed I-69 corridor from the Mexican border in Texas all the way to the Canadian border in Michigan? --PeterR 17:38, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This page is meant for newly proposed numbers, though I can see the point of including those too. Probably just as a short mention of each with a link to the main article for more. --SPUI (talk) 19:00, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've seen at least three other serious proposals for Interstate 67 in Indiana, Michigan, and Alabama (http://www.interstate-guide.com/future.html#067 ); it would make sense to mention them all here; the Pennsylvania proposal is not etched in stone as of yet. Mhking (talk) 21:11, 21 Nov 2005 (EST)

Agreed - and those are much better proposals too (and both could co-exist as a northern and southern I-67). The northeast I-67 would seriously fall out of the grid (and IMO, it is poorly placed - a better route would take it via US-22/322 and US-15). CrazyC83 23:50, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] City Lists

Personally, I think that the city lists are not necessary in this article; they are conjecture at best. As a result, unless we can get some consensus otherwise, I'm going to remove the lists. --Mhking 17:47, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inclusion of Certain Route Segments on Interstate System

I can't find this specific text anywhere in the U.S. code. [1] --NE2 20:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Legislation paragraph

I reworked this paragraph (2nd one). It does not need to recite SAFETEA-LU or any other bill to get the point across. Other bills can be included there as well. -Fnlayson 00:41, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interstate 22

I found http://birmingham.bizjournals.com/birmingham/stories/2003/07/21/daily43.html relating to I-22 and Corridor X. That news site has quite a bit of information about it; searching "Interstate 22" or "Corridor X" will turn up quite a few results. (→vishwin60 - new age roads) 16:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move

This article was moved to "List of proposed Interstate Highways". I don't think it is a list. It has some short sections, but that's not like a list. Also, there was no discussion on that. So I moved it back. -Fnlayson 22:52, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
