Kurumi.com covers roads -- history, news, maps and photography -- with a focus on Connecticut highways and 3-digit interstates. Some highlights:

SignMaker

This popular Java applet takes your route numbers, towns, and arrow choices, and draws a custom freeway sign for you. SignMaker uses FHWA E(M), the official U.S. "freeway font", and dozens of authentic route markers.

Field Guide to Interchanges

Trumpets, stacks, SPUIs, and other types of highway connections.

The Road to Agra

Photos and sights along National Highway 2, from Delhi to Agra, India.

Connecticut's Secret Routes

"Secret routes" are roads maintained by the state, and given numbers to be used internally; but the numbers are not posted on signs or shown on maps. Technically, Connecticut's highest route number is not 372, but 920. But: sometimes the numbers are used in press releases or news articles, and a few times have appeared on maps and road signs. I have info on over 200 current and 300 historical secret routes.

The Map Inside

See front-and-back details of Connecticut state highway maps from 1930 onward; and Massachusetts route numbers in the 500s, from 80 years ago.

What's New

Updated June 21, 2009

Big update for CT 72; the new Bristol section will partially open in late 2009. The 97 source documents is probably a site record.

Smaller update for CT 74. which now has its own page.
