I-124 has to exist[edit]

In addition to being shown on current TDOT city/county maps, I-124 has to exist for one simple reason: that part of US 27 has no "secret" state route number. --NE2 17:55, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yea, it has been exist, but literally eliminate. merge it anywhere?--Freewayguy ^{Talk Contribs} 19:42, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category key[edit]

What is the category key "24-1" signify? If it was "I124", that would make more sense. Allen (talk) 22:42, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

3dIs are typically sorted as XX-Y into Interstate-related categories. The XX is the parent number and the Y is the first digit; this way they sort after their parent articles. Imzadi 1979 → 00:40, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So, should the category keys of all the 3di's be re-formatted in this manner? Or can "I124" (for example) be okay? Allen (talk) 00:50, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The sortkeys should be XX-Y for Interstate-related categories and IYXX for the others. That way the articles stay sorted by number in Category:Interstate Highways in Tennessee but also by type and number in Category:Transportation in Hamilton County, Tennessee. Imzadi 1979 → 00:58, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That still leaves the question of whether the sort keys for the categories in every Interstate highway, 2di, as well as 3di, should be changed to the same format? Allen (talk) 01:07, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't that what I said? Imzadi 1979 → 01:10, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I just don't understand. Allen (talk) 01:24, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interstate-related categories, like Category:Interstate Highways in Tennessee should be using the XX-Y sortkeys to keep the parent highways with their auxiliaries, but other categories like Category:Transportation in Hamilton County, Tennessee should be IYXX style. That's what I did when I updated all of the sortkeys for Michigan, Interstate and US Highways inclusive. Imzadi 1979 → 01:31, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I-124 status[edit]

After a few quick web scans, I wanted to say here that I'm not seeing any recent publication on I-124, which makes me doubt that it still exists. Are we sure that this designation is even used anymore? If it's not, this needs to be changed to a former route. ChessEric 19:21, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ChessEric: given that the designation is unsigned, there may not be a lot of recent publication on it. Have you double checked the FHWA Route List and Finder Log to see if it's still listed there? Table 2 has it, so it's still a current designation. Imzadi 1979 → 02:55, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is still designated but unsigned. Multiple news articles about the recent reconstruction refer to it, albeit unsigned. This article says the signs were removed because of motorists who had trouble distinguishing them from I-24 signs, which, full disclosure, is consistent with what longtime residents of the area have told me personally.

On an unrelated note, the KML file needs to be updated to reflect the straightening of the curve through the 4th Street interchange. Bneu2013 (talk) 03:28, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I understand now. There is a map I look at on my phone that will only show interstates in a certain zoom position. Although unsigned, I can see where I-124 is, so I think that wraps up this inquiry. ChessEric 20:50, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
