Shields[edit]

Would the US 1 shield be acceptable here, I'm having 2nd thoughts about the US 1 shield there because that goes to another street before US Route 1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nextbarker (talk • contribs) 03:04, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not the interchange is 100% complete is fairly irrelevant, and the fact that it uses a connector road doesn't make the junction incomplete (especially since US 1 and 9 are not limited access freeways here). US 1 should definitely be listed as a major junction in the infobox. -- NORTH ^talk 15:29, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

US 1 yes; NJ 35 no. -- NORTH ^talk 23:06, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would Route 440 be acceptable on the US Route 9 info box? since it's coming off the GSP too, or is that too much since it's ok the Pakrway info box? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nextbarker (talk • contribs) 01:25, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

US Route 9 and 440[edit]

Would Route 440 be acceptable on the US Route 9 info box? since it's coming off the GSP too, or is that too much since or is it unnecessary, NORTH

Would a US 1 shield be acceptable on the info box because to get to US 9 south from US 1 North you have to exit onto Green Street in Woodbridge.

I thought there was a US 1 shield in the major info box, is that too much?

Cleanup[edit]

I'm in the process of expanding this article, cleaning it up, splitting it into state by state articles, etc. I'd appreciate it if no major changes were made to it in the meantime -- not that I can stop you. But definitely feel free to make minor changes and the like. -- NORTH ^talk 22:04, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where Nine isn't really a highway anymore[edit]

In parts of New York, Route 9 doesn't really resemble a highway, and I wonder if that should be pointed out in the article. In NYC, Broadway is just a major street, just like 5th avenue, 7th avenue etc. Once you get into Yonkers, it's the same deal. At one point in Yonkers you actually have to get off of it and get back on it, because a small section of it is a one way street. As you continue into Westchester county it's just a major street in whatever town it's in--in Ossining it's Main Street. It doesn't resemble a highway again until you get into Croton. As a major street, it's constantly cut off by traffic lights, and while it's two-lane that's only one Northbound, one Southbound. If you tried to drive from NYC to Albany via route 9 it would probably take you about 8 hours. 74.101.163.144 (talk) 00:51, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Other Route 9s[edit]

Is the stretch of 9 from the VT-NY border to Northern Maine not part of US Route 9? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.94.151.94 (talk) 20:15, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen there is a route 9 going all the way East/West through Massachusetts, does it belong in this article? --18:44, 29 October 2014 (UTC)50.48.5.30 (talk)

Both are separate, unrelated highways. Ken Gallager (talk) 20:22, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

History to Route 9, or has it always existed?[edit]

Is there a history to Route 9's construction or has it simply always been here? Was it a native American roadway, or did it solve a dilemma along the way? Stevenmitchell (talk) 17:47, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All the histories can be found in the state-specific articles. ----DanTD (talk) 17:06, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I still think that this article needs a history section. It shouldn't be too hard considering that all the state-specific articles have their own histories. Interstate 95 and Interstate 95 in New York is a good example of how a history section on a state-specific article and an article on a main interstate article should be written. All road articles need a history, and without one on this article, I feel that the article is incomplete. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 16:42, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
