No resets.After initial confusion, having the numbering on the Northway count to NYC would be a benefit. For 90 though, the Thruway needs to be treated as a "special" case due to the direction change at 24. For that reason the numbering should stay continuous. Otherwise, following standard interstate mileage conventions, the numbers would need to begin descending from there to a 0 point at the PA border. The road is continuous making this switch an unnecessary confusion, especially since the switch is occurring in the middle of the most populous region in NY outside the NYC area. Anyone passing through trying to count miles would have to know the maximum number before the switch (I-87 MP148/I-90 "new" MP348) and subtract to figure out a distance between the two points, eliminating the benefit of mileage based numbering (which is knowing how far to an arbitrary exit). Someone going from current 23 to current 25 will be going from future exit 142 to future exit 343. They would have to do (148-142)+(348-343) to figure out the distance is 11 miles. Travel patterns have evolved to treat this as one road rather than two, so the mileage should be as such. |
