No, the descriptions of Exit 5 and Exit 8 are not accurate (Exits 45 and 42 on US-23, north of Ann Arbor. Also, "Exit 5" is not signed as such from M-14; approaching from the east the jucntion is simply not labeled.
The Exit 45/"Exit 5" has the three levels stacked, top to bottom as follows:
--Ramp from Eastbound M-14 to Northbound US-23
--US-23 South mainline (onto combined US-23/M-14)
--M-14 West mainline (from combined US-23/M-14)
Similarly, Exit 42/Exit 8 is stacked top to bottom as follows:
--M-14 East mainline
--Ramp from M-14 West to Us-23 south
--US-23 North mainline onto the combined stretch
Also, the substandard M-14/Barton ramps at Exit 4, directly opposite the Huron River from the Main St. ramps, are not listed in the exit list. The Westbound ramps are fine, but Eastbound has a 15 MPH hairpin exit, while the eastbound entrance has a stop sign at the point where the ramp enters the freeway, with no acceleration lane.
BTW, it should be noted that the Beck Road exit is a Parclo A4.
At least the discrepancies with the top levels at Exits 5/45 and 8/42 should be corrected in the article. The article states that the top level is the US-23 main lanes, which is the case at neither junction.
