[Talk-us] Second thoughts

[Dale Puch]

"US 52 FOLLOWS I 94" to me means they are concurrent, even if Minnesota
only has signs for I94 instead of I94/US52
So it is a matter of presentation, not facts.

Here in Florida there are places where most signs list only one name, but
periodically there will be references to other names sharing the same
route.
