Talk:Interstate 5

Somebody removed I-105 in California from the list of spurs. I put it back because even though plans to build the connection between I-5 and I-105 never materialized, it belongs in the list and it should be discussed here. If they didn't want I-105 to be a spur, the powers-that-be would either decommission it or give it another number. -- Gpietsch 00:05 Sep 22, 2002 (UTC)
- And of course the 105 does intersect the 405, which is itself a spur of the 5. Dontcha just love LA freeways? --Brion
- There's prior art in New Jersey. I-78 does not intersect any of its spurs, and I-195 did not intersect I-95 until a section of the New Jersey Turnpike was redesignated as I-95 in 1982! -- Gpietsch 22:10 Sep 22, 2002 (UTC)
- Yes, this is old news, but just so there's no confusion: since I-105 connects between TWO I-5 spur routes (I-405 in the west, and I-605 in the east), it is indeed a spur route of I-5. Spurs of spurs are not that uncommon: San Francisco has I-380, which only intersects one I-80 spur (the 280.. and US-101), yet still is a spur of I-80 by extension. Weirder: since I-80 technically only begins AFTER the South Embarcadero Freeway ends before it would meet up with the road signed as "I-80" (though even then, it technically isn't Interstate grade, and there's some controversy as to whether or not it's "I-80" at that point), and the City of San Francisco has kinda broken the routing with recent construction in Mission Bay, I-280 can be said to never touch Interstate 80. It's not just Los Angeles freeways that are weird. - Feedle 05:08, 5 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Ok forgive me if I'm wrong, but would'nt be nice to like include some "tips for travellers" that aren't some published paid for stuff.??
I use 5 to go to Portland and Seattle and Canada. I could offer some tips.

I think it would be helpful to add a link to Randy Woodfield, the I-5 Killer; the most relevant place seems to be under Notes. Does this seem reasonable? Are there other social and/or historical I-5 associations that we could include? - Wyvern 02:53, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
