Bill > H3104

This bill proposes to change how exits are numbered on interstate highways in Massachusetts to a mileage-based system, aligning with the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) guidelines. This means exit numbers will correspond to their approximate distance in miles from the highway's starting point, which will be either its southernmost or westernmost end. The plan aims to keep costs down by reusing existing signs and will include a two-year transition period where both the old and new exit numbers will be displayed. The entire conversion is required to be completed by January 1, 2017.
