US 75
[edit]I'm confused by your recent edits, but they've been breaking things on U.S. Route 75 in Texas.
Per https://www.txdot.gov/tpp/hwy/us/us0075.htm, I don't see any changes to the terminus of US 75 since 1987. Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Resources/AASHTO minutes doesn't have any changes to US 75's terminus since 1987 either. Imzadi 1979 → 03:36, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Me too, since the I-345 portion is signed as US 75 but the exit list still matches with I-45. But I do think US-75 ends at I-30, not I-345 and Spur 366. HwyNerd Mike (talk) 23:34, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hello!
- Where exactly does US 75 end? Based on Google Maps and Apple Maps, it ends at I-30, but I don't think it ends at I-345, more like it runs concurrently with it.

- TxDOT's map insets for Dallas–Fort Worth do not label I-345 as US 75, and they use a different coloration for the I-345 segment than US 75, implying that they consider US 75 to end at I-345 and not extend to I-30. That's consistent with the Highway Designation File page on US 75 as well.
- Beyond that though, recent edits to the article created a lot of formatting issues and needed to be reverted to unbreak the table. Imzadi 1979 → 00:30, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. Can you revert the big US 75 page as well?
- I’m still confused as what the I-345 section should be signed. HwyNerd Mike (talk) 00:33, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at Google Street View, southbound, the Central Expressway is signed on pull-through signs as I-45 south of Spur 366. Northbound, they sign it as US 75 on the pull-throughs. They should have "TO" on those to reflect reality, but I've seen other DOTs forget to do that as well. Imzadi 1979 → 00:37, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- I looked at it too, and at Spur 366 eastbound, TXDOT seemed to make the same mistake too. They might think that the I-345 section was close enough to I-30 where US 75 ends and continues as I-45 so they just signed it I-45. HwyNerd Mike (talk) 01:21, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
