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.

Glad you mentioned the College World Series! As a Nebraskan, US 75 has always been strange as it parallels I-29 the whole state! Interesting Fact: Omaha's "North Freeway", which follows 75, was supposed to connect all the way north to I-680. But, it only made it to Ames Ave because of neighborhood protest.

Also, I remember reading that the freeway portion of US 75 in Oklahoma coming in from Texas was built using funds from the native American casino in Durant. Notice outside of the 2 major metro areas in Oklahoma, non-interstate freeways that aren't tolled are almost non-existent. The only ones i know of are US 75 crossing into Oklahoma and US 62 outside Lawton. There are probably others.

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.

Also my paternal grandparents live off the PGBT in the Dallas area so that’s a pretty important highway to me. Could even be worthy of its own control city video?

Middle of the country? It depends on specific factors. US-75 may be closer to the nation’s population center, but US-81 is closer to the mid-longitudes of the United States, going through North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas and often in relatively close proximity to US-75, (sometimes) US-59, and (often) US-69.

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.

Cityplace was to have a twin tower on the opposite side of 75 connected by a covered walkway spanning the expressway. The real estate crash in the late '80s canceled this plan. It had been the headquarters of Southland Corp., parent company of 7-Eleven. No other freeway in Texas has sequential exit numbers, originally only to Exit 50 on the Collin-Grayson county line, but now extending to the Oklahoma border.

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.

I got no problem with McAlester (18k) after Durant because US 75 jumps off the 4 lane divided highway. That being said, it should have Tulsa too.

If you were to sign I-44/I-244 eastbound at US-75 for what would you pick instead of Joplin? Springfield or St. Louis?
@ControlCityFreak

St. Louis. If they can sign Tulsa in St. Louis, they can sign St. Louis in Tulsa, especially given that St. Louis is bigger

@@ControlCityFreak True I remember you saying that signing Springfield in St. Louis and Tulsa on your I-44 video. Springfield has about 175,000 residents and a somewhat well known university and Bass Pro is there. It’s also closer to Tulsa then St. Louis. Same as St. Louis plus St. Louis and Tulsa are about 400 miles away from each other.

23:38 the reason why they signed nothing for west US 12 is because you would've turned off on MN 7 a few miles back to go basically the same place
