[edit] Interchange with US 20/OR 126?

"Beyond the eponymous town of Detroit on the east end of the reservoir, the highway passes Idanha, and turns south, west of Mount Jefferson, to its terminus at an interchange with U.S. Route 20 and Oregon Route 126 at Santiam Junction."

According to the google.com satellite picture and map, the junction is a simple surface Y-intersection, not an "interchange" with flyovers and the like. Westbound traffic coming from Santiam Pass goes straight onto OR 22; traffic heading to Albany or Eugene must stop (or at least yield) and make a left turn. Eastbound traffic from Salem on OR 22 does not stop, while traffic from Albany and Eugene finds itself in the slow (right) lane (again without stopping) as it begins its climb toward the Santiam Pass summit. 192.235.1.34 18:37, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Corrections to junction list

  • Capitol Manor is just an old folks home and housing development, not a settlement. It probably doesn't need to be linked at all, as it's not particularly notable.
  • Little Nestucca refers to the river, again, not a settlement.
  • Clear Lake should link to Clear Lake (Linn County, Oregon)
