So is this going to be, what exit 33 or 32b or something like that? Or are we going to waste money making all new signs to rename all exits after this?

(My numbers could be off. To be quite honest, when I'm on the highway I'm just searching for my spot to get off so I can not be so damn anxious. I hate the highway, hate it 100x more between Portland and kennebunk)

All interstate exits correspond to mile markers now, so whatever this will be will not waste any older signage.

Yup. That was changed 20 years ago for this reason. Remember two Exit 2s? Mile marker is the general standard

Tell that to Vermont. They’re doing both, for as long as they can 😂. They just added smaller milepoint signs in 2020. They do have a point, in regards to business names. Heck, there’s still even a Exit 5 Motel in Saco. And we’ve had mile marker exits for a loooong time.

Did you just time travel here from 20+ years ago?

They already renumbered all the exits to be mile based and not sequential. They don’t have to change any of the other exit numbers.
