Formerly from the Gulf to the Border, now from Dallas to the Border. Not only I-45 replaces US 75 between the Metroplex and Greater Houston, there is also TX 75 marking the Historic US 75 in Texas between the two metropolitan areas of the state from Streetman to Conroe. Also, speaking of US 75 in the Lone Star State, the Central Expwy is my favorite freeway in the Dallas side of the Metroplex since it has been modernized and widened very well. Speaking of that, at the very start, I'd rather sign both Plano and McKinney. Signing McKinney is fine, even though it's the county seat of Collin County, TX and one of Dallas's satellite cities.

11:56 This sign use to say Topeka, actually. It changed somewhere in the late 2000s or very early 2010s. You can see the lower case o was from Topeka being the original control city, that they chose to replace with Neodesha. On the next sign, you can see the newer brighter letters comprising Topeka which use to say Neodesha. I guess they assume because the city is right there, it needed to be highlighted, and Topeka being 2 hours away, it could be a secondary suggestion. I also never knew US75 was exited onto Huntoon. I suppose thats why I can barely remember there being a really nice truck stop near the corner of Huntoon that is definitely no longer there.

A bit about the ordinal numbers. What you probably didn't notice is that, between Spur 366 (the one that has signage marked as To I-35E) and one exit before I-635, the numbering is pretty normal, as those are mileage based. However, the numbers jump from 8 to 20 or 21 right before I-635, which is where ordinal number are. The plan was that when the Central Expressway was being rebuilt back in the 90s, TxDOT was to switch the exit numbers from ordinal to mileage based, especially since they thinned out the number of exits in that area. As they would progress with rebuilds, they would change it. Apparently, this idea was dropped, so you actually have the first eight miles as mileage base, then the rest as ordinal. This freaked me out back in 2013 when I got a job in Plano. I had just arrived in Dallas after driving nearly four hours from Houston. My hotel was off of Exit 28 on US-75. I was in that first eight miles when I saw Exit 7. I thought to myself, "I still have some time before I reach the hotel." About three minutes later, I looked at the exit sign and it jumped to 23. I wasn't aware of the ordinal number scheme at the time, so I was deeply confused as to how did I travel 16 miles in 3 minutes.

Tulsa presumably isn't signed for northbound because you have to take I-69 and then a different turnpike to get to Tulsa via the straightest route. US-75 can't claim Tulsa here because it's so much longer via that route, and US-69 can't claim it because it doesn't actually go to Tulsa.

Oklahoma Stone Hedge - If you ever do a video on the President George Bush Turnpike, you'll find two support columns on the west side over at the interchange with Texas 114. These were to be part of two flyover ramps from Texas 114 to the PGBT. It was in the plans from the onset and was actually drawn up and approved for construction. However, only the columns were built, and only two of them. I never got an official reason (as I was researching this for my channel), but either NTTA ran out of funds to construct the rest of the interchange or, according to some sources, the ground on that section of the turnpike was highly unstable and they had to use some ground stabilizers to even build the road, so it may be too cost prohibitive due to the environment. In the case of Oklahoma, I'm reading that they are to start work on that interchange sometime late this year. I have a feeling they ran out of money to complete it and now, through all the bake sales and car wash donations, they have enough money to complete the interchange.
