I thought the problem was a 2000 member limitation in the API, though the
geographic grouping really helps manageability anyway even if the network
doesn't change at the jurisdiction line (ie, I 44 is still I 44 when it
runs into Missouri, as opposed to OK 325 which turns into NM 456 when it
crosses the Dry Cimmaron River at the border).
