Reply to comment by sleepisasport in Roads of Maine by bubbastars

I would also like a legend. Blue seems to be major roads (95s, 2, 9, etc), but why is Route 1 only blue from Brunswick to Belfast? It gives the impression that it stops in those towns, even though it continues far past those points.

Also I see Islesboro, but not Vinalhaven?

In the Gazetteer, Blue symbolizes major highways. 95s/2/9 are these, but the book also has Route 1 from Brunswick to Bath this color too. The two lanes, 65mph speed in this section probably bumps it up to that distinction.

I've never been to Vinalhaven, but I'm assuming it's dirt roads. I don't think the map has those on it, that's why that is missing.

Yeah, but that doesn't account for why it's blue all the way to Belfast.
