Talk:Texas State Highway 130

message: There are 3 freeways in the state of Texas that use exit numbers that are non interstate. U.S. 54 in El Paso uses a distance based system starting at exit #20. U.S. 75 uses a sequintial exit numbering (the only freeway in Texas to do so). SH 130 uses a different numbering scheme, starting at 411 and ending at 458. Its exit numbers also ascend and descend backwards from traditional numbering (descending north and ascending south).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mes tex (talk • contribs) 15:17, 12 March 2010 (Mes Tex) 9:20, 12 March 2010
US 59, US 82, and Loop 375 also have exit numbers. --NE2 03:34, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

message: Any idea what the exit numbers are measured from? --NE2 00:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe TX numbers non-Interstate freeway exits from north to south (and west to east), starting at an imaginary perpendicular line at the northernmost/westernmost point in Texas (i.e. the northern border of the panhandle/west of El Paso).  Can't find a reference offhand, however. lordsutch (talk) 13:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: SH 130 is weird in that the exit numbers ascend with decreasing latitude, opposite that of I-35.  But in any case, I measured the distance between the northern SH 130 terminus (30.685459,-97.657042) and the point directly north of the terminus along the northernmost parallel in Texas (36.5,-97.657042) and I get a distance of 402 statute miles.  This is close to the 411 mile marker at that spot.  That's the best I can figure.  Maybe if SH 130 is supposed to be part of the NAFTA bridge proposed by the Onion  then we would be indeed working from a larger radius and would get the 411 miles.  -Rolypolyman (talk) 19:06, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The northern extreme line starts with mile marker 10, so adding 10 to your 402 would get you to within a mile of the 411 mile marker.  25or6to4 (talk) 15:30, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Lordsutch is correct. See section 7 of the Texas Reference Marker System User's Manual. -- Gridlock Joe (talk) 19:15, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Exit number scheme

message: Should mention that TxDOT wanted an alignment closer to central Austin, which would have a greater possibility of relieving I35 congestion, but many others saw the role of the the new freeway as more directing new development towards the east away from sensitive watersheds.  Neighborhood and environmentalist groups accepted the east alignment proposal, but promised to put up a fight if the west alignment was chosen, and in the end it was built along the eastern alignment...

message: Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's spelled "capitol", not "capital".

replies: text: It's "capital", because it's referring to Austin, the capital city of Texas. The spelling "capitol" is for the building, like the Texas State Capitol. --Delirium (talk) 06:38, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
