Talk:Interstate 68

message: I'd suggest removing the material on the Morgantown DUI accident.  While it occurred out of the roadway, that was largely just a fluke.  The accident itself had nothing to do with the roadway itself, its design or attending terrain considerations like the gasoline tanker and fog accidents.

replies: text: Ok, I can do that. I wasn't sure whether to include it to begin with, actually, as it didn't seem completely proper to include it. - Algorerhythms (talk) 02:54, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Isn't route description usually put before history on highway articles? Circeus (talk) 05:42, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Usually, though it isn't really set in stone. The reason I put them the way they are now is that I was thinking of at some point trying to take the article to Featured Article Candidates, and last time I nominated an article there, there were complaints that the road articles tend to focus too much on the route description and too little on the history and importance of the road, etc. - Algorerhythms (talk) 05:49, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

message: In the discussion of the Cumberland Thruway, the sequence of events should be revised. I do not have access to specific dates for these events, so I am including them in the discussion instead.
In the early 1970's, US 48 was the sole designation for the completed portion of the National Freeway from the Willowbrook Road/Baltimore Avenue exit (now exit 44) to US 40 connector (now exit 39). US 40 was the label for Baltimore Avenue and continued eastbound on the National Freeway at exit 44. Due to a number of accidents resulting from tractor-trailers following US 40 into downtown Cumberland (and likely the extension of the National Freeway west to just west of the Finzel exit in Garrett County), US 40 was moved its old route to run concurrently with US 48 from exit 44 west to the western terminus at Finzel. The route through Cumberland was renamed US 40 Alt at this time - sometime between 1975 and 1980 I believe. US 220 was multiplexed with US 48 and US 40 from the Naves Cross Road exit to the Green Street exit sometime between 1980 and 1985.

message: (1) The route description should go before the history here. Even though most route description sections go before the history sections, my edit was on presentation based on, not the standard. People are going to look for the former more so than the latter. Plus, the route description is shorter than the history making it easier to navigate at the top then it is the bottom.
(2) 11 pictures (which includes the timelapse) is WAY too many here. We have 4 that just show the shield along the route alone. I could understand this many pictures for I-90 or I-95, but this interstate is 113 miles long. Why do we need four pictures that essentially show the exact same thing, especially when there is a timelapse that shows these locations? It also makes the exit list table look ugly due to being compressed on both sides. ChessEric 05:33, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
