2000 Changes


December 2000:

Added some information from the November 2000 CTC agenda to Route 22, Route 30, Route 56, and Route 108. Based on discussions in misc.transport.road, added some history to US 101 and Route 1. The usual link updates; this time, I added some new pages in California, Oklahoma, Georgia, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. The Georgia site is particular fun; it makes fun of the folks who drive in Atlanta.

Updated information on the timing of the definition of LRN 122 (Route 140), courtesy of the historians at Caltrans. Update the chronology to include 2000 route changes. Updated status of Route 104 from Joel Windmiller.

August 2000:

Primarily link changes, mostly due to some bums :-) named Andy Field and Alex Nitzman, who moved every one of Andy's San Diego pages (even though they were just moved a year ago), causing massive editing :-), and to Mike Ballard, who also decided to move his site. Added SPUI's new exit lists to Route 13, US 101, Route 120, Route 237, and Route 242.

Started creation of subdomains under cahighways.org for deserving sites. These are URL redirection links; they are available to sites that deal exclusively with California Highways, and that are maintained by "road afficionados". Such sites get a mention at the bottom of the cahighways.org home page. The first such site is Numan Parada's "Big Highways Site", which is now available at http://third.cahighways.org; the second is Scott Kozel's roadtrip, at http://roadtrip.cahighways.org/.
