Reply to comment by Majestic-Feedback541 in Maine Turnpike to add new exit in Saco by InterstellarDeathPur

All interstate exits correspond to mile markers now, so whatever this will be will not waste any older signage.

Yup. That was changed 20 years ago for this reason. Remember two Exit 2s? Mile marker is the general standard

Right... At least I'm aware that I'm an idiot 😂 I deserve each and every one of those down votes 😂

Tell that to Vermont. They’re doing both, for as long as they can 😂. They just added smaller milepoint signs in 2020. They do have a point, in regards to business names. Heck, there’s still even a Exit 5 Motel in Saco. And we’ve had mile marker exits for a loooong time.
