Somebody tell me if I'm wrong, but this is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on the Wik:
"Interstate 10 is the only Interstate highway that did not replace any section of Route 66. The two highways parallel each other between San Bernardino and Santa Monica, California, crossing the city of Los Angeles along the way. I-15, I-40, I-44 and I-55 replaced the majority of Route 66 between Los Angeles and Chicago, Illinois."
WHAT? How about I-95, I-4, I-75, etc, etc? I know the writer must have meant something else, but what he or she meant, I can't be sure of.
I'm just going to delete this sentence, until someone can rephrase it in a way that makes some sense.
- Weird... maybe the only Interstate that parallels 66 that didn;'t directly replace it? --Rschen7754

And remove the browse parameter in the routebox and remove the florida state roads template.

[edit] 59 and 59
Interstate 10 intersects Interstate 59 in Slidell, Louisiana. It intersects US Highway 59 in Houston, Texas. I've corrected the text, but I realize that this is a point of confusion and wanted to mention it here. Vox Univoaks 05:05, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Whaa???
If Lordsburg, New Mexico is a control city, why does all signage on the eastbound 10 heading out of Tucson say El Paso? And is Blythe really a control city, signage on WB I-10 until you get well into california says Los Angeles. --Node 03:57, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- It could be either a dumb error or possible vandalism. If anyone tracking this article has actually driven out there recently and saw the control cities on the signs, please let us know what you saw. --Coolcaesar 05:05, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- Both Lordsburg and Blythe are on this list [1], which if you go to the Control Cities page (link is at beginning of Major Cities section), that's the site it links to, which is where all our control cities come from. Lordsburg and Blythe could very well be control cities, just for some reason skipped right now. --MPD01605 (T / C) 06:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- I recently created a page for Interstate 10 in New Mexico, but it is a stub. Feel free to add whatever information is necessary. DanTD 13:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Route Description
I added a small blurb in the Route Description section of the article in regards to the freeway's nomenclature. In Los Angeles, a section of the Santa Monica Freeway between the 405 and 110 freeways is called the Rosa Parks Freeway. This segment is actually signed at its beginning on the freeway itself in both directions, but not always on the on-ramps to the freeway where the Santa Monica Freeway moniker is used. Both names are acceptible since the Rosa Parks name refers only to that particular section, while the Santa Monica name referrs to the freeway as a whole (at least the Santa Monica-East Los Angeles portion of the 10). I think it is in good form and wasy to read encyclopedic format, but feel free to make any changes if you don't agree. --Tbkflav 06:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Loneliest Interstate in America"
I deleted this claim because after doing a Google search of "Loneliest Interstate" in America, I found only mirror sites mention Interstate 10. When someone like Life magazine bestows this moniker (see U.S. Route 50 in Nevada), then we can use this title, but not until then. Ufwuct 18:14, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Life in Another Country
I know that I-10 provides a "good view" of shantytowns and poor suburbs of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico... but i think that needs to be re-worded. To me, it seems to capitalize on poor people's plight. It's also inaccurate, as the Interstate freeways in Detroit, Michigan give a great view of Windsor, Ontario, I-94 gives a good view of Sarnia approaching the Bluewater Bridge, and i know that I-190 in Buffalo has a good view of the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie, Ontario/Buffalo, New York (I should not forget the Hwy. 405/I-190 views at Queenston, Ontario/Lewiston, New York).

- I think the wording could be changed to something more verifiable, rather than "close-up" view. How close is close? I-10 in El Paso is closer to residential areas in Mexico than I-190 or I-94 are to neighborhoods in Canada.[2][3]. It is definitely the closest a driver could get without stopping and crossing into the other country. Other than I-10, I-8 seems to come the closest (without stopping and crossing) to the border, although there are no towns anywhere near the border.[4] Ufwuct 01:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
