Well......what could possibly go wrong here? LOLO!!
Hope you're not too attached to your highway exit number
Over the next two years, exit numbers along Massachusetts’ highways and routes will change under a federal mandate, MassDOT officials said Monday.
Exits, which currently use sequential numbering, will shift to mileage-based numbering, according to Neil Boudreau, the department’s assistant administrator for traffic and safety.
Crews are planning on starting with Interstate 91 and working on a route-by-route basis, he said.
“We don’t want to confuse the public when we’re out there,” he said. “We intend to move from west to east.”
MassDOT anticipates traffic impacts from the project will be minimal.
To ensure the public adapts to the shift, Boudreau said MassDOT will leave signs up indicating each exit’s old number for at least two years.
The department won’t be in a rush to take them down, either.
