Denver has something of a mess in it's hodgepodge 7/8ths of a loop consisting of Colorado 470, E470, and the weirdly unnumbered Northwest Parkway. There are some great views, but we've also got high tolls, bad control cities, weird numbering, and Dawson's Creek jokes! Thanks to everyone who requested a point of interest on 470:
LurkerERS
Control City Freak is updated weekly and covers every two digit Interstate Highway in America as well as other roads. I'll be showing control city signs on each 1 and 2 digit (2di) Interstate Highway in the continental United States and will strive to make as complete a record as possible, as well as various other highways. I'll also be getting into the roadgeek weeds here and there, showing downtown skylines and state border crossings, and making corny jokes. I welcome all to join my geeky tour of every primary Interstate in the country!
All images of roads and signs come from Google Street View unless otherwise specified.
