I like the old system. It seems dumb to me that the next exit after 45 would be something like 83. I also think people will have a hard time remembering the numbers. Like, for instance, telling someone that even though GPS will tell you Exit 115 take Exit? instead.

I do that a lot on 87, telling people the exit before what GPS says to get to my house as it’s the back way and quicker.

I hope we don’t change to that in NY.
