It’s the end of the year, which must mean that it is time to do the final round up of updates for the highway pages. As I say every time.. you can keep up to date with me by following my blog at California Highways<\/a>, as well as following the California Highways Facebook group<\/a>. Over the past two years, I’ve used Facebook to collect the articles of interest for each update. However, it now looks like Facebook is hiding articles and not making it easy to find them again. What I’ve decided to do is to collect up the articles and post a summary post to my blog every couple of weeks. To make it easy to find, just go and look at the roadgeeking category<\/a>. This article will also to share your news about California Highways, and I’ll look at any comments there for updates. I’ll post a link to the summary article to the Facebook group. This will start in 2013.<\/p>\n So let’s dig in.. Entries for the following routes were updated based on my reading of the papers (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the “Observations Along The Road”<\/a> and to the California Highways Facebook group<\/a>) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum<\/a> and misc.transport.road. [As an aside:I may stop reviewing MTR as I’m finding very little there of use these days. As for AAroads, most of the discussions there are not about changes in routes for California highways, but more arguments about numbers and signing standards and such. Although all are valid discussions, it is not the sort of information I’m collecting for here.] This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(1)<\/sup>, contributions of information or leads (via direct mail) from Patrick Carroll(2)<\/sup>, Hanz Laetz(3)<\/sup>, Steve Pederson(4)<\/sup>]: Route\u00a01<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, Route\u00a04<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, I-5<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, I-15<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, I-80<\/a>(1,2)<\/sup>, Route\u00a084<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, Route\u00a086<\/a>\/Route\u00a086<\/a>S(3)<\/sup>, Route\u00a091<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, US I-210<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, I-215<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, Route\u00a0241<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, I-280<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, I-380<\/a>(2)<\/sup>, I-605<\/a>(1)<\/sup>, Route\u00a0905<\/a>(4)<\/sup>. Hystin Zylstra also noted that California Legacy License Plate<\/a> landing page was now active.<\/p>\n Reviewed the Pending Legislation page<\/a>. It is far too early in the legislative session for anything to have been passed, but I noted a few new bills of interest. The new California Legislature site<\/a> is very nice, but it occasionally switches to another bill when moving tabs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I checked the CTC Liaison page<\/a> for the results of the CTC meeting held in December 2012. The following items were of interest:<\/p>\n It’s the end of the year, which must mean that it is time to do the final round up of updates for the highway pages.
