[edit] Wikiproject

This is the first interstate (to my knowledge) that has been added to the wikiproject... I'll note things that need to be fixed. --Rschen7754 23:47, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

Yuck! It looks really bad. I had to move the I-805 sign to the left (which I believe is against wikipedia policy) to get things to look half decent. Also the I-5 box is obscured by the routebox... yuck! (although that will probably be fixed when I add more content). I'll create a redirect so that CASR 780 links to I-780 so the links will work... and some of the images don't work either. Well, it's a start. --Rschen7754 00:04, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

I'll fix the images tongiht. atanamir 03:27, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

It's getting better... but it still is a mess! The state law section goes under the routebox. If there was some history info then the state law section would get pushed down... but I don't know anything about the history of this highway. --Rschen7754 03:43, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

if you want, you can put a { { - } } (without the spaces), it will put it under. --atanamir 04:26, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

rschen, do you think you can get any pictures of this to post up? Its a personal preference, but i like posting one picture for each of the ca/srs =) atanamir 12:09, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

  • I do not have any that I have taken at the moment; however there is always the possibility, considering that I do live in Southern California. However, I do have some for CA-241, 91, 79, and I-5, I-15 and 215... I haven't gotten around to uploading them yet. --Rschen7754 02:23, May 28, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Classification

Does this page still need to be a stub? --Rschen7754 02:57, May 28, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Accuracy of dates

Was it really approved as a chargeable interstate before its legislation was passed? I'm deleting the words soon after for now to remove the apparent chronological contradiction. - Pharaonic 09:04, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Control Cities

On the CA-52 connector to SB I-805, the control cities are listed as "National City/Chula Vista" . . . now, I don't know if it would be appropriate to change the Control Ciy listing here, because those control cities technically are never shown on the actual mainline freeway. Could someone clarify if control cities listed at junctions "count"?
