Graphic of the Day: Road and exit numbering

Edward Tufte starts off a discussion of road numbering systems. I'm so glad California is finally going to add exit numbers. Let's hope they use the intelligent system, relating the numbers to the distance between them, rather than just making them sequential. Right now, in So. Cal at least, the street signs are well designed (large and over the road), but named like shit, in that they have no numbers and most of the street names are in fucking Mexican (pardon my canadian french). BTW, I'll add cartographer to the list along with architect of fields I might have pursued if it weren't for the web.
