Bill > H3041

This bill proposes to change how exits are numbered on interstate highways in Massachusetts by implementing a mileage-based system, meaning exit numbers will correspond to their mile marker location along the highway, similar to the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) recommended approach. The numbering will begin at the southern or westernmost point of each interstate highway, and the transition will aim to minimize costs by reusing existing signs. For a two-year period after the change, both the old and new exit numbers will be displayed to help drivers adjust, with the entire conversion to be completed by January 1, 2017.
