Sam Cooper Blvd: Was supposed to be I-40.

[@504RoadTrips]

Yep. It appears to be controlled access up to the park. They threw a fit about cutting it through the park so they went back to the drawing board.

Excellent 🙌👏👍

I've been on this stretch of I-240 many times, although it's been a while now.

[@RichardFelstead1949]

Thanks for sharing, Jason.

6:36 Perkins Road, Exit 18 off I-240 is where the now former Mall of Memphis used to be at. I know this part of the area very well because the last time I went to the (then) Mall of Memphis was back in the late 1990s.

This is the innermost beltway around Memphis. The outermost beltway is I-269, by the way. Therefore, Memphis have 2 beltways.

[@504RoadTrips]

That’s mentioned in the video.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

@@504RoadTrips, this isn't the only metro area in the US with 2 beltways. Greater Boston have 2 beltways as well which are the 95/128 (Yankee Division Hwy) and 495 (Blue Star Memorial Hwy). Raleigh also have 2 beltways which are the 40/440 and the 540.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

I'm from Metro Manila, but that metro area and region in the Philippines have 6 beltways known as circumferencial roads. However, the 6th one is still under construction as a new expressway while another portion of it which is an arterial along Laguna de Bay is still there, but will have an interchange with the new exressway soon. Also, there is EDSA, a 4th beltway around Manila and is the busiest highway in the Philippines.

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

@@CrystalClearWith8BE Yeah but they are not fully expressways unlike the 7 ring roads around Beijing which is fully expressway.

Tennessee is a large state for I 40

I have a cousin that lives in Memphis TN

[@robytherobotwhiteversion]

Nice!

[@waltersaul1807]

All the green signs seem to have a bluish hue. Is this a fact?

[@504RoadTrips]

The ones I add, or the real ones?

[@waltersaul1807]

@@504RoadTrips - the real ones!

[@504RoadTrips]

@@waltersaul1807 the correct color for the green signs is actually a lighter green than the one I use. I tried using it and it just looked bad to me. But I’m not good with color. The MUTCD specification for the green signs is Pantone 342. The CMYK value is 100,0,31,60. Meaning there’s a lot more Cyan than Yellow. Now, whether the signs in Memphis are out of spec, I don’t know. I personally feel that the green on those signs should be much darker…what most people would call a Forest Green, and that would be achieved by lowering the yellow levels even more, and increasing the black levels
