CT did it half assed on their resignage (a friend is constantly on RT9 and mentioned the conflicting numbering)

As for VT, it seems rather silly along I-89 and I-91 (which are ~130 miles each) when's there only 20 something exits along each highway

I want to agree with you. Sadly we only have to look at the Weimar Republic and the rise of a particular fascist leader.

[In the 1960's, Ron Jones, a High School Social Studies teacher (after being asked a question as how the Germans could claim ignorance), started an experiment, which got out of hand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Wave_(experiment) )

What ended up happening;
12B (113 West and I-295 North) turned into 28 A and C
12A (113 East) turned into 28 B

What should have happened
12B turns into 28 C and B (I-295 N and 113 West)
12A turns into 28 A (113 East)

Even Google Maps got it messed up right now (Claiming both exits as 28B)

The way RIDOT has been signing the old exit tabs has been questionable in workmanship and consistency.

  1. No standard on the Dimensions (some are more square, other's tend to be longer)
  2. No standard on the naming convention (I've seen old exit 27 labelled as "Old 27")
  3. No standard placement (I.e. some signage is on the gore point exit sign, while other aren't)

This is almost as bad as a couple years back when a contractor was overzealous with putting in the Curvature warning signs for the offramps. Oddly enough it was also old exit 12 they messed up on. The contractor ended up mounting the 270 turn sign wrong. I think only after contacting the DOT was it corrected

If there is a silver lining, I'm thinking the lower number old exit tabs are being reused from I-295; at least they were consistent
