Talk:Interstate 76 (Ohio–New Jersey)

message: I see a description of the location of Interstate 76 that tried to show why it wasn't named for the year 1776 was reverted back out.  I thought that the information was pretty useful and showed why the planners didn't really have any choice in selecting a number.  How about sticking with the original wording of no evidence and adding the info on I-74 and I-78?.  --Beirne 11:56, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

message: What's the point of the state infoboxes that have links to the next and previous highways in sequential order?  Unlike similar boxes for political office-holders, numerically sequential infoboxes provide little in the way of a meaningful sequence.  They are also largely redundant since categories serve the same purpose in a more concise way.  --Beirne 18:31, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with you. Have a look at the discussions at Wikipedia talk:US Interstate Highways WikiProject and Template talk:Routeboxint. I'm still personally against them altogether. (Why would anyone want to browse highways in numerical order?) --Chris 01:27, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

text: OK, I went ahead and added a  and deleted the state highway boxes.  The routeboxint still needs exit numbers and perhaps some major state highways.  --Beirne 15:39, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Why are we adding this huge infobox, taking up several screens worth of the right side of the article, when all the information should be in the article text anyway? --SPUI (talk) 03:00, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Take it up with the Wikipedia talk:US Interstate Highways WikiProject.  It provides a convenient graphical overview of the Interstate in a nice-looking format.  Also, it is more useful than devoting space to three boxes that merely tell which highways come before and after in numberic order. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beirne (talk • contribs) 03:04, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm against the whole browse highway thing altogether (whether on seperate little ones for each state or on a single infobox). But I do think the infobox in general is useful. However, SPUI does have a good point that these infoboxes are rather big. Perhaps the junctions part should be moved into the body of the article (preferably in a standardised format). --Chris 03:12, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The navigation boxes also provide links to the main route list, which the infobox does not. They can also be useful for someone looking at the highways in a state one by one (something I might do when bored). As for the junctions, how about the exit lists in Interstate 80 in New Jersey and Interstate 95 in New Jersey for a standard format? The Interstates are easy to pick out, and all other exits are also displayed. --SPUI (talk) 03:37, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I honestly wish I had that much free time that I could just look at every highway in a state. As for those formats, they seem good, but it would be better to discuss this someplace like Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Interstate Highways or Talk:Interstate Highway or Category talk:U.S. Interstate Highway system or Talk:List of Interstate Highways. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Engleman (talk • contribs) 04:05, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: In regards to the link to the main route list, we could just link where it says CA on the browse state highways part to the list. I don't see why such a bulky box is needed. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  04:51, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: That's bloat and the box listing every single exit isn't?  --Beirne 03:48, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The bloat in the infobox gets in the way of the article; any images (and section edit links) are pushed down. On the other hand, the full exit list can simply be skipped past. --SPUI (talk) 05:07, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The infobox does not get in the way of the article, everything still appears to the left.  The full-width exit list, though, does get in the way and pushes everything below it far out of view, requiring a lot of scrolling to get to what is below.  Also, listing every exit is not scalable.  It takes a lot of scrolling to get past it in this article, but imagine if it were done on one of the cross-country routes.  It would be intolerable.  Since most people will be more interested in the textual information and pictures than details on every exit on the Interstate, I have restored the routeboxint and moved the exit list after all of the textual information.  Notice how the routeboxint does not push anything down.  The text and images fill the space to the left of it.  --Beirne 12:04, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: For cross-country routes, they can be split like Interstate 80 in New Jersey. --SPUI (talk) 17:42, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the exit list is part of the body of the article, it can be skipped very eaisly by simply clicking on the next entry in the table of contents. Besides, if one uses page down, scrolling can be very fast. In extreme cases, it can perhaps be split (ex: Interstate 90/Exit list), and in non-extreme cases, the exit list can be made the last thing in the article. I personally am not thrilled about all-inclusive interchange lists (I'm not against them, either; I think they do have useful information, but you won't find me writing one.), but I also think that only the very most major junctions ought to be listed in an infobox. (ex: It would be rediculous to list all of the Interstates that I-90 intersects in an infobox.) What is this about them not being scalable? Isn't everything scalable?--Chris 02:03, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is that I'm not necessarily at the table of contents and don't feel like scrolling.  I have since dealt with the issue by moving down near the end of the document, although splitting it into its own article is also a good idea.  --Beirne 02:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Actually I'm using K-meleon, which uses the same rendering engine as Firefox. The infobox is just way too big, and the image is pushed down below the infobox. --SPUI (talk) 17:45, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I myself, am also a firefox user, and find it too big. --Chris 02:03, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: My point with Firefox isn't that it reduces the size, but that it doesn't push the images below the routebox, at least not in the current versions.  --Beirne 02:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you sure? If they're not pushed down, then where do they go? --Chris 02:48, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The picture in the I-76 article was up to the left of the routebox and to the right of the text when the routeboxint was in place.  This was the case with both Firefox 1.5 at work and Camino on my Mac at home.  --Beirne 02:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: The 3di template allows you to access the spurs of I-76. The other primary Intersttae articles have these too. The mileage table is there to give the mileage information that isn't included anywhere else in the article. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  01:51, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The links right above the 3di template allow access to the spurs. The mileage is all in the first paragraph, and is even more precise there. I'd accept keeping the lengths, but as a standardized table (class=wikitable). Maybe it can be to the side in the description, like an infobox but separate? --SPUI (talk) 02:00, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The mileage is only in the first paragraph because you deleted the table and put the distances in the text.  You otherwise actually make some fair points, though.  Why aren't you bringing them up on the Interstate Project page rather than here?  --Beirne 02:12, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I completely rewrote the article, and the distances, which I did not get from the table (as they are different, except for New Jersey, which I changed a long time ago), were simply part of that rewrite.  As for the discussion, I object to pretty much every "standard" proposed by the project, for the reason that it just simply makes sense. I was expecting others to also realize that, and don't really know where to start on a discussion. --SPUI (talk) 02:19, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you now have a few topics to start with on the project page, in particular the three boxes you don't like.  I'm guessing discussing them there will be a lot more productive than trying to change things Interstate by Interstate.  --Beirne 02:50, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Mileage table and 3di template

message: We now have two sets of lengths for I-76 in the various states and they differ.  The ones in the box are there from some time in the past and the ones in the first paragraph are new.  Guessing that the Interstate-guide might be an arbiter I checked it and found that it differs from both on NH, matches the first paragraph on PA, and differs from both on OH.  It has a source, the Interstate Route Log and Finders List, a publication of the federal Department of Transportation.  Are those reasonable numbers to settle on?  --Beirne 03:04, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I used the individual states' straight line diagrams for Ohio and New Jersey. They are more likely to be correct than the Feds. (I do discuss a few strange aspects of the official Ohio routing in the route description.) I'm not sure how meaningful such a precise number is for a freeway, given the various methods of calculating, but if there is to be one I feel it should be the state's number. --SPUI (talk) 03:30, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: What the heck?

message: I put the routeboxint back on the I-76 page but the edit war has resumed.  Even though I left SPUI's small infobox up on the page while the routeboxint was being considered for deletion, and the routebox is now smaller due to the legend being removed as well as my removing the 3-digit intersections, SPUI is back to reverting away the box.  He replaces it with his small routebox that contains almost no information and the larger box at the bottom that does nothing but show the previous and next routes in each state in numerical order.  I was willing to abide by the decision from the deletion process, and others should be too.  As has been stated before, the place to try to change the standards of the Interstate project is on the project page, not on individual Interstate pages.  --Beirne 19:45, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As I've said before, everything in the huge infobox is already in the text. Anything gained by having it easier to see is lost by its size, and would be better presented in a map. --SPUI (talk | don't use sorted stub templates!) 04:00, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see why the size is such a problem.  I just tried an experiment and shrunk the window down to 567x702, which is smaller than most people need to size the window on a modern monitor.  The text wraps around the box fine and is perfectly readable.  Also, while the infobox does not fit in the window, each section of it does, along with the header for the section, making it a convenient overview.  Also, the I-76 article has one of the shorter routeintboxes , so this is a strange page to have a dispute over the box in this article.  Highways like I-80 have a much longer infobox.  Not that that one should be removed, either.  The place to discuss this is on the Interstate project page.  Or a request for deletion of the template could be made.  This was done and there was minimal support for deletion of the box and the deletion attempt failed by a large margin. The was agreement that it could be shrunk, though.  That process lead to the 3-digit highways being removed and the legend being accessed by a link.  It is the new shrunken version of the infobox that I am now restoring to the I-76 article.  The infobox has been shown to be popular, by being placed on 44 Interstate highway articles.  The benefit of a standard is that people can go to an article and quickly look for the main facts.  Placing the routeboxint on Interstate pages is both an official as well as a defecto standard that improves the useability of the pages where it is placed.  --Beirne 04:37, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The point of an infobox is not to provide a large amount of information; it is to give a few quick facts about the subject. --SPUI (talk | don't use sorted stub templates!) 06:11, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Compare the routebox with the infoboxes that shows up in the articles for New Jersey and the United States.  The I-76 box is significantly smaller than both of them.  Infoboxes don't have to be tiny.  --Beirne 13:59, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: RfC

message: Comment: Hi, I am responding to the RfC after reading through the talk pages and the project page, arbitration page, etc. First off, I just wanted to say that everyone has done a great job on the highway pages in general! I've used them before (I was interested in the naming conventions) and have always appreciated the hard work. It seems that there is concern that 1) the highway project page "consensus" should not apply to this page in particular and 2) the number of existing highway pages compared with the number still to be done does not indicate a consensus which should be supported. In my opinion, however, I do think that the appropriate place to argue for change is on the overall project page. It would be nice if the entire US highway system one day has complete coverage which is consistent. To that end, starting early on with a consensus or compromise template would be nice. I think that the longer infobox should stay in this particular article unless/until general consensus within the project page changes. Yes, individual users not part of the project are always helpful and are welcome to edit any page. However, project pages typically represent a core group of people with knowledge of more general needs on a topic and that should be respected in cases such as these, IMHO.

replies: text: I agree that there should be a disambiguation page, but these are two completely different highways, so no mention of the Colorado one is needed. I do believe that this I-76 got the 76 tag because it fit the grid and to honor the year 1776 in Pennsylvania, while the west one was to honor Colorado being admitted to the Union in 1876.

thread_title:  The other I-76? 

message: I noticed that some highway intersections with 76 were removed from the junction list for the I-76 infobox.  While I agree with some, such as I-176, I-83, and I-283 (just look at the size of the toll gate at each exit . . . it's rather small), I disagree with removing I-476.  It's a major junction near Conshocken, which is 20 minutes from Philadelphia.  I don't see how it is minor with the amount of traffic that goes through that junction.  76 intersects 476 on the Schuylkill Expressway.  I'm not going to add it back because I don't want to start an edit war or anything like that; I'm just curious what is considered a major junction and what's considered a minor junction.  I would also consider adding I-376 to the list, as it is the major route from the Turnpike to Pittsburgh (from the east).  
Also, I-76 does not directly intersect I-81.  You have to exit off I-81 at Middlesex and drive on US 11 for 1 mile to reach the Turnpike.  --myselfalso 22:55, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 3di's are usually not included in a junctions list, no matter how important because it's usually understood that the 3di intersects the parent route (with the exception of I-78 and its children).  I would actually remove I-276 from the list, and replace I-80, since I-80 continues the Ohio Turnpike and is even a major route (ends in a 0).  I-81...is a different story.  It's a major route, and it needs clarification.  I'll do that in a few moments.  --MPD01605 (T / C) 23:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: So suddenly there are 5 "major" interchanges in western PA and only one in the eastern half.  Is somebody here a Steelers fan?  I-276 is the NJ Turnpike connection, not to mention the eastern portion of the PA Turnpike.  Any eastbound traffic that is headed north in NJ is going to take it.  And take a look at a current map, I-476 is longer than some two digit routes.--J Clear 01:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why does it matter if it is a 3di or not?  Shouldn't a major junction be defined by how heavily the interchange is used?  Also, going by that standard, there are no major junction in the eastern part of Pennsylvania.  Besides, I'm a Steelers fan, and I was calling for adding back I-476.  I added I-276 initially as well.  --myselfalso 05:08, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This interstate is too long to add 3di's to the list, not to mention that it's a given that I-76 intersects I-476 and I-276.  I'm fine with the way it is now, although it seems the problem would be whether to have I-81 or I-83 on the list.  I-81 is ten times longer than I-83, but I-83 does carry more traffic (84,000 on I-81 in Harrisburg, and 108,000 on I-83 in the same city).  It's also a matter of how 'major' the road is: I-83 connects just the cities of Harrisburg and Baltimore, whereas I-81 connects Canada and Tennessee.  However, since there are currently only 6 junctions on the list, why do we not add both I-81 and I-83, which would put the MJ list at 7, which is also as many as I-35 has, and I'm sure isn't the longest list.  The article is long enough that another line in the infobox won't hurt it.  --MPD01605 (T / C) 18:39, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I took your suggestion and added interstate 83 to the major intersection list which is now at  7 should interstate 99 also be included. In addition if you are traveling on interstate 76 it does not connect directly with interstate 95 in Philadelphia, PA if traveling east you have to take pa 291 or PA 611 and when you travel from the Walt Whitman Bridge there is a traffic light at front street before you can get on Interstate 95 this should listed in the notes.

message: The paragraph about the interchange with I-80 mentions I-76K and I-80K.  This is the only place I've ever seen the 'K' designation.  Can someone provide a citation or say more about this? 131.183.160.56 (talk) 15:24, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure I know the answer, but you are apparently referring to the junction just west of Youngstown, where if you are E-bound, I-80 leaves the Ohio Turnpike and I-76 enters it (reversing the procedure if you are W-bound).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.52.3 (talk) 19:09, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I couldn't find "76K" in the text, but I have now located "76K" and "80K" on round shields on the SKETCH of that interchange in Ohio, provided in the same Wikipedia article we are discussing here.  The text has "Officially I-76 transfers to the Turnpike at the overpass, with a similar change happening with Interstate 80 (east on the freeway to Youngstown and west on the Turnpike)" (the K seems to refer to the Ohio-Turnpike stretches of these 2 interstates).  It goes on to say that the actual (driving) route to follow either I-76 or I-80 through this area is to go through that interchange.  If you are E-bound on the Turnpike there, I-80 heads onto exit lane, and you go onto a VERY SHORT stretch just ahead of where E-bound I-76 traffic merges in.  (Reverse the procedure W-bound, where I-76 traffic takes the exit, and VERY SHORTLY after that I-80 traffic merges in.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.52.3 (talk) 19:27, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  I-76K? 

message: I found this regarding the King of Prussia (PA) area:
"Immediately after exiting the Turnpike, I-76 interchanges with the U.S. Route 202 and U.S. Route 422 freeways"
If exiting I-76 at US 202 nowadays, you are IMMEDIATELY split off if you want to get to the US 422 freeway.  This was part of traffic-pattern improvement in this area, to avoid the problem of having to get on US 202 first if you wanted to get from I-76 to US 422 or vice versa.  If you approach this area on E-bound US 422 freeway, US 422 ends and your choices include a ramp which leads DIRECTLY to E-bound I-76 without having to enter US 202.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.52.3 (talk) 19:07, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: That stretch has NJ 42, then the ACE. See remark just before History section.
That remark reminds me of extension of I-376 in the Pittsburgh area, and consequently I-279 and PA 60 were shortened.  The intent was to provide an Interstate going to the Pittsburgh airport.  Some people thought it was a new road when it actually was the same road with changes in route number and exit numbers.
Speaking of changed interchange number, there have been 3 exit numbers for Pa. Tpk. / US 13 interchange. Carlm0404 (talk) 04:36, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
