bentley@access.digex.net.nyetspam said something like:
: And you're correct about ADC; the enormous wall map that sits above my
: desk numbers it as 295 all the way to the parkway split.

[snip]

: Officially, I believe you are right. However, I've seen a sign in
: Baltimore that marks it as 295 as well.

I realize it's rude to respond to one's own post, but I just checked my
ADC Anne Arundel County map, and, sure as shite, om map 12 grid B3, the BW
Parkway is numbered as 295. Go figure. Sidebar: The Parkway has two names,
but "the Gladys Noon Spellman Parkway" is a mouthful (for those outside
the DC area, Ms. Spellman was the congressional representative from the
Greenbelt area district for several years until she slipped into a coma in
the early 80's. She died about 10 years ago, and there was some uproar
when the road was renamed in that she was still (technically) alive at the
time.
