[edit] Older "superstreets" without the left turns
Take a look at the piece of US 1 in southern Rhode Island - this is basically a Durham-style superstreet without any traffic lights. Hell, part of US 22 in Union County, NJ is like that. --SPUI (T - C) 22:42, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article Phrasing
I think I see how this is supposed to work, but one line in the text is confusing me: "...a lower traffic crossing intersection is closed to all motorized traffic". This sounds like no cars at all are traveling there. --Thisisbossi 11:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed entry re: US 301 in Maryland
I have removed the following as I am not sure there are any such examples. I've driven this numerous times and would like to think that I would have noticed any examples of a superstreet geometry; but I will admit that I am not necessarily the most perceptive as I am frequently traveling this area late at night. Feel free to add it back in if you can provide a reference -- preferably geo-coordinates. Thanks! --Thisisbossi 03:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
==Locations==
* Several locations on U.S. Route 301 in Maryland between U.S. Route 50 in Queen Anne's County and the Delaware State Line.
- Just checked it out on Google Earth, the MD 18 (38 59 04 N, 76 09 40 W) and MD 456 (38 59 15 N, 76 09 10 W) intersections in Queenstown both look like what the article describes.-Jeff (talk) 05:41, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

- As far as Google Earth shows, they are both right-out restrictions on the minor streets; whereas superstreets provide for lefts out, as well. I can field-check these locations hopefully sometime this week to see if their geometry has changed at all. --Thisisbossi 06:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
