Marijuana Milepost

*Guitar_Raph* · 01-14-2014, 10:37 AM

Interstate highways all have mileposts to help where you are & the exit. Odd numbers start south of the border or southern end (IE; I-45 in Galveston) while even numbered routes start @ the western end or west of the state border.

I-70 in Colorado recently changed a milepost from 420 to 419.99, becasue 420 means there's a marijuana joint!

Texas has three mileposts 420 located @....

I-10 - West of Junction
I-20 West of Fort Worth
I-35 (I-35E) in South Dallas.

At least a couple of decades ago, U.S. 666 became U.S. 491.

Well the reason they changed that sign was because people were constantly stealing it. So far, no one's touched the new sign.

This post combined with GR's Mikey and his smokebombs bit got me laughing! I was wondering when someone would bring up Collorado in Current Events. Where's Robin Williams and a fresh dose of standup when ya need it? I have no idea how that stuff would effect blind people, so I've always steered clear in case anyone's wondering! Figured people have attempted to or had actually made off with signs like this. haha! Now if only I could get away with owning my own shopping cart. No reason, I just think one would look neat in my two car garage since nothing is in my parking spot.
