North to South vs. South to North?
I noticed the Route Description goes North to South, while the Major intersections box goes South to North. Which one should be correct? Having them in two different directions could be confusing to a reader. Gamweb (talk) 16:41, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * South to north, as it's the project's standard. -- M*gill*FR (blab to me) 23:08, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * How many segements still need to have their descriptions rewritten from south to north? I figure doing any of them has to be an overwhelming task. DanTD (talk) 01:51, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

C Class
The article has very good info about the description but it needs mor info on history and the major intersections need to be completed. Therefore it is C class. (LALaker13 (talk) 20:56, 28 October 2009 (UTC)).
 * The RD is way too long and the history is way too short. The article is a mess. Therefore it is Start. --Rschen7754 (T C) 21:09, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

North/South Dividing Line
Does anyone know the North/South dividing line for U.S. Highyway 1, i.e. where does the road designation become South U.S. Highway 1 or North U.S. Highway 1? It seems to change somewhere in Cocoa. Thanks! FieldMarine (talk) 13:27, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't follow...US 1 is a north-south highway. Unless you're standing at Mile Zero in Key West or the Georgia state line, you can take either north or south US 1. –Fredddie™ 21:38, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

My apologies, this really was not clear. I'm referring to the addresses on U.S. 1. At some point, addresses change from South U.S. Highway 1 to North U.S. Highway 1. I know this happens somewhere in Cocoa, but perhaps it happens in several locations. Maybe by county?
 * In my experience, the cardinal directions on X Street are highly relative, usually to Main Street in most cities. –Fredddie™ 23:07, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

That's pretty much been my experience too. I was looking for this info a few days ago & was hoping to find it in this article. I think it would be useful if added. FieldMarine (talk) 01:12, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Relocation onto I-95
I'm doing the mileage in the junction list per the new alignment, which is supposed to take effect soon. This way the mileage north of Miami doesn't need to be recalculated when it happens. --NE2 01:31, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Is that why there are script errors for every intersection north of Florida State Road 139 (and Lem Turner Road when editing?))? -User:DanTD (talk) 14:47, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * No. Look at the bottom: "too many expensive function calls". Will report on WT:USRD. --NE2 14:55, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Mile marker changes?
Since US 1 in Florida has mile markers, maybe a section listing the changes to those mile markers over the years. First, the highway was extended south resulting in a new mile 0. Then the overall length was changed. This would change all mile markers north of Key Largo. Will (Talk - contribs) 08:05, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * We'd have to determine when Florida DOT first placed mile markers, that's totally worth mentioning. Hopefully, the extension to Key West happened before mile markers, but who knows for sure?  I would caution mentioning any little change, e.g. the route moving a block or two, because I really doubt the DOT moves mile markers every single time a route change occurs. –Fredddie™ 10:29, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Some details like that are a bit esoteric. I agree though, if we can determine when FDOT (or its predecessor) first installed mile markers, and if it predates the extension to Key West, then yes, that would be an interesting detail for the history. Otherwise, I don't think it would warrant a mention.  Imzadi 1979  →   11:55, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
