Talk:Cross Island Parkway

Route Shield
The shields that are going up now on the Belt and Cross Island have a modified version of the Long Island parkway style. They're black and white and have the Montauk Point lighthouse, but they spell out the name like the state standard (eg the Taconic.) I have yet to see these on Wikipedia. Can someone design it for here?

The White and Green style like seen in Westchester/Putnam/Dutchess/Columbia is also seen in The Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island, especially in The Bronx. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Kirschner (talk • contribs) 21:32, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

This parkway is on Long Island, so should it really be using the upstate (Westchester County) parkway shield?

I grew up and learned how to drive on LI (sad, I know), and I don't recall ever seeing any shields specific to the Cross Island -- neither the upstate parkway shield nor the Long Island parkway shield.

 * Yeah, they're there...they've been there for 5 years, if not less. Jgcarter 22:42, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Mileage
We should probably measure mileage from the west end of the Belt Parkway, since the exit numbers are mile-based. --NE2 03:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you sure it's mile-based? It doesn't quite match up in all places although *on average* there is one exit per mile. In any case, it is probably best to use the mile markers that are actually posted on the road. --Polaron | Talk 01:06, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 28A and 28B wouldn't be suffixed if it were sequential. I didn't realize mileposts on the road started from the SSP though. --NE2 22:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It only has the reference markers not the standard mile markers and I don't remember how the actual mileage of the reference markers went (they're hard to read when you're the one driving). The current exit numbers were obtained from the original exit numbers by simply subtracting the old number from 37 and retaining the letter suffix. Is the SSP mile-based too? --Polaron | Talk 23:25, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, then they're probably from the start of the reference route (and reset at the county line); the Belt Parkway is likely split into four parts for the mile markers. I believe the Belt is also mile-based, but not the SSP. The following exit numbers existed in 1964:
