Sites About Freeway Exit Lists?

What in the world would drive someone to create a site about nothing but the exits of a freeway? Beats me, maybe it's genetic. However it came about, here it is. Originally, the only exit list I had was for I-90 from Minnesota Milepost 209 to the Wisconsin border, and that was because I had put up a site about southeastern Minnesota highways. But, it gradually evolved and I decided to do a major exit guides site for the Upper Midwest. I grew up there, so they're the freeways I knew best. In Early 1999, CC Slater, who used to have exit lists for Colorado freeways left the Internet, so I took over and made my own site for Colorado freeway exit lists.

About the Format

Exit or Milepost	Eastbound Exits Scroll Down	Westbound Exits Scroll Up	Notes
17	Podunk Springfield
			Really Scenic State Park
21
28	WEST Wooster

The basic idea is that you scroll up and down and see the routes, towns, etc. of exits along a freeway. The far left column is the EXIT NUMBER or MILEPOST the feature occurs at.

All of the main information is in the center two columns. The middle left column is for either eastbound or northbound, and you scroll down for that direction. The center right column is for westbound and southbound traffic, and you scroll up to see things for that direction. When an item extends across the two columns, that means it applies to both directions. So, in the above example, the exits are for both directions, while the rest area is for eastbound only.

Items in the middle two columns are generally what the signs say out in the field. Items in (parentheses) in the middle two columns are things that are not mentioned on signs on the mainline. Exit numbers in (parentheses) are for exit numbers that are not posted.

The right column is for extra information, such as services, airports, recreational spots, hazards, etc.  Advisories and warnings will be in black on yellow, recreation in white on brown, and services in white on blue (just like the real thing!).

Additional information is given along the list in spots such as state and county lines, hills, river crossings, and speed limit changes.

As you scroll down all exit lists go south to north or west to east as the exit numbers do.

Route Markers

Here's a list of the route markers I use:

	Interstate Highways
	Interstate Business Loop or Spur
	US Highways
	Minnesota State Highways
	Wisconsin State Highways
	Colorado State Highways
	South Dakota State Highways
	Minnesota County Highways
	Wisconsin County Trunk Highways
	Great River Road (Minnesota/Wisconsin)
	Colorado Scenic/Historic Byway
	Minnesota Disabled American Veterans Highway
()	Parentheses indicate something unmarked on the mainline

Disclaimers and Such

Official state maps from Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and South Dakota are used, as well as online mapping sites.

I'm not making too many claims for the accuracy of the service information provided on the routes. Some of these routes I have not personally been on, so I cannot be be sure of some service info. Total accuracy in all aspects of these exit guides cannot be assured.
