[edit] north end

I'm trying to match up mile points and it seems like the north end of I-684 should be at I-84 (not NY 22). The road north of Exit 9 up to the NY 22 merge is supposedly Reference Route 981B. I just can't seem to match the mile points with the NYSDOT traffic counts though. I'll see what happens if I play around with where mile point zero is. If anybody has further information, I'd be gald to hear it. Thanks. --Polaron | Talk 21:20, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Additional: I can get a good match with the traffic counts data if the mile zero is located at the ramp split with eastbound I-287, and not at the centerline junction. The north end does go beyond I-84 though up to the northbound Exit 10 off ramp. This setup matches the traffic count report distances almost perfectly. But this means 981B runs from Exit 10 up to the overpass with CR 50? I guess that's plausible since CR 50 is Old Route 22. --Polaron | Talk 21:55, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I have been on I-684 and it ends at NY 22. Bernstein2291 22:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to know why the speed limit is 65 mph for virtually the entire length of 684, but only 55 mph in (relatively) rural Putnam County on I-84, especially since parts of 684 have little space between the carriageways. 216.179.123.109 (talk) 22:41, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
