695

Post by CBenson
I-695 (the Southeast Freeway) through the 11 St Bridge reconstruction is currently designated I-695 N and I-695 S. There is a UR stating that its 695 east not south. I actually haven't seen any signs with cardinal directions, but it seems that east and west would make more sense. Does anyone have any objections to changing to I-695 E and I-695 W?

Officially, Waze needs to match the signage on the road (which should match the official information from US DOT).

I've been hunting through various pictures of the roads and am having trouble finding ANY signage that shows both "I-695" and one (or more) cardinal direction(s) (north/south/east/west).

For example, I-95 is marked North/South (from Florida to Maine), but runs East/West in Connecticut. In Waze it is labled "I-95 N" & "I-95 S".

There are actually several I-695s in the US -- They are all "Auxiliary Interstates" to I-95: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_au ... erstate_95

Alright, I'm changing it to E/W. If anyone sees any signs to the contrary, please let us know here.

Makes sense to me. Wiki refers to it as East on this page near the bottom...

I don't go that way often enough to know for sure what it is officially named.

Yeah, it's funny. That short section of 695 has technically been in DC for decades but there was never any signage marking it "695". I remember seeing a blurb on the news a while back when the construction was ramping up.
