Yes, Image:80_Expwy_in_NJ.JPG is very hard to see. NHRHS2010^Talk 22:26, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you kidding me!?!?!

Why is major to subjective?! CamdenFreeway295 (talk) 21:18, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Large can be easily inferred to by the size of the interchange, you need something else to back it up as major as a map alone cannot indicate that. Dough4872 22:31, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Needforspeed8888 pisses me off

What do you mean by obviously?!?!?! 😾👎🏻👿🤬😡😠 CamdenFreeway295 (talk) 20:57, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It should be implied that the "Eastern terminus if I-80" is the national eastern terminus. Therefore, the addition of the word "national" is superfluous. Also I would not recommend using headers such as "User pisses me off" and instead use a header related to the issue at hand. Dough4872 21:38, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rest areas

I thought I'd add a list of rest areas. Decent source for either the article or the commons gallery, or both. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 21:58, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't bother. We normally don't consider plain rest areas to be very notable for inclusion. Imzadi 1979 → 22:10, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled comments

I remember, as a young child, experiencing regular travel on I-80 while going between NY and the Poconos. We lived in Nassau County, NY. My parents had purchased property in the latter, in Pike County, PA, in 1972, and I have photographic memories of that time. One of the milestones I remember on the westbound leg, approaching what was the 2hr point in a 2.5hr trip, was the opening of the final highway segment leading down into what is the NJ-94 Portland interchange. Prior, traffic had to exit to the right onto a local road, then return to the highway in Portland to cross the Delaware River Bridge. We did this nearly every weekend after the shell of the house they had built was done - in 1975. I’d have been 6 by then. We then began finishing the dwellings interior, bringing building supplies and doing ‘high class camping’ as they called it until all the utilities were put in. It was an unexpected surprise one weekend (Saturday morning) when the required exit off was no longer there. The thing is, it can’t be as early as 1973 like you have documented for the rest of I-80’s completion. The westbound direction required a local road exit to what I think is Rich Rd (as I look at current maps). Is it possible that the completion of that direction was technically delayed due to the significant elevation change, and/or the building of the scenic overlook in that area? I remember the road surface was all concrete roadway in that area. To be fair, I cannot recall what the matching eastbound leg entailed, as it was uneventful. I assume it was already opened highway, as there was no matching rest area/overlook there (it’s located further east), and no local road on that side.

For what it’s worth, I have earlier memories of US-46 travel that required going through Hacketstown, but that was before the dwelling was built in PA. -R.Miranda — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4040:5E5D:E200:1194:CF85:656:EEA (talk) 05:21, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
