message: Is it possible to edit the interactive map to include the now former I-515 and the portion of the route west of I-15? NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 07:12, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

text: Same here. We've got some overly anxious roadgeeks. I drove it last week, I-515 is still alive and well.Dave (talk) 16:40, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, then should the Northern terminus be changed back? NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 20:23, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: That should be reverted, as I-11 termini have not yet officially changed even though NDOT has AASHTO approval to do so. (Yes, there is a one-off shield on I-515 and overhead signage recently replaced along I-15 southbound now shows I-11 instead of I-515...) Per a local newspaper article in mid-December, NDOT intends to change out signage sometime in 2024.  LJ ↗ 00:12, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  Is that accurate though? The state maintained highway index for 2024 says the transition is underway; the signs are clearly being replaced on an ongoing basis; the federal index hasn't been updated since 2021 so it's unclear where the feds stand. It's not like all of the 515 signs are going to disappear overnight.  MojaveNC (talk) 01:21, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Regardless, it's not worth edit warring over, and I'd advise all to stop this reverting back and forth. Yes, until the changeover is complete it is debatable which mileage figure is the "official" figure. This is hardly new, and thank goodness Wikipedia didn't exist in the 1970s when new sections of interstate were opening every week. However, with that said, while I'm not going to revert, I agree with LJ and not MojaveNC. Nevada DOT does mass signage changeovers and not "let's see if the old signs will last another 30 years even if outdated, we'll just patch 'em" as Caltrans is famous for.  Exhibit A. the portion of former I-515 that has already been resigned I-11 was done in short order. Exhibit B, the 2012 changeover of signs from US-395 to Interstate 580 was done practically overnight. And I suspect similar will happen with this next phase of the I-515->I-11 changeover. We'll wake up one morning and the roadgeek websites will be full of pictures of shiny new I-11 signs. But until then, Wikipedia is intended for a general audience for whom roads are just a means of getting from point a to point b and doesn't understand the concept of an unsigned highway, not a roadgeek audience who lives for the unsigned designations.Dave (talk) 02:05, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

text: Sure they won't 'change over night' but as of the 1st there's literally zero on the entirety of the highway, at least North/Westbound (and the westbound section of 95). Granted I'm not a reliable source but it still seems like jumping the gun as it stands, right now. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 06:23, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

text: I-695 is still signed in DC despite already being decommissioned by the FHWA; I-195 isn't signed in DC yet either despite being approved (just talking about examples here). As far as I'm concerned, until the FHWA updates their table and the signs replace I-515 signs, I-11 is still the same ~23 miles then that it is now. The YouTube video that was presented to me on my talk page shows 1 shield on 1 sign and it's on I-15, not I-515, so that, in my opinion, is not sufficient to say I-11 has been signed yet. Plus, I'd doubt that NDOT would do a piecemeal project to replace I-515 signage with I-11 signage unless they want everyone who uses the route to be confused. Plus, the first source provided to me on my talk page, which I had read already to begin with, said the signing would be done in 2024; the second source didn't even give a date for signage replacement; it just said that I-11 was replacing I-515. Show me where signage started to be replaced in December 2023 and I'll admit I was wrong, but until then, I'm going to go by what the source provided to me says, which says 2024.
