Exit 40 of the Long Island Expressway is shown at <http:// terraserver.homeadvisor.msn.com/image.aspx? T=1&S=11&Z=18&X=1554&Y=11288&W=1>. What is its design type? Should it be named the Cat-in-the-Cradle?

Makes sense.
How do we memorialize Harry Chapin, then? Exit 41 at <http:// terraserver-usa.com/image.aspx?T=1&S=11&Z=18&X=1559&Y=11289&W=1> is practically a conventional cloverleaf.

Why do we need to memorialize people, particularly people who have little or nothing to do with roads, on or with our roads? I can see memorializing someone who dies while building a structure by naming the structure after that person, but otherwise, I just don't see the purpose. There are better ways to memorialize people.

Abraham LIncoln didn't dig tunnels. What name would you attach to the so-called Lincoln Tunnel under the Hudson River? Is it acceptable because it has been linkin' Midtown Manhattan and Weehawken for decades? Ever wonder why it isn't called the Hamilton Tunnel?
What would you rename the Alexander Hamilton Bridge across the Harlem River?
Should a subway line be named after Harriet Tubman of the Underground Railroad?

There's a larger, messier version at <http://terraserver-usa.com/ image.aspx?T=1&S=11&Z=18&X=1405&Y=11262&W=3&qs=%7cunion%7cnj%7c>. Would that be a Dyspepsi?

Got anything that says that the Lincoln Tunnel was named for Abraham Lincoln? I couldn't find anything that said how they came up with the name.

There are literally millions of names available.

Did I advocate this? Besides 'underground' in that context didn't reference being under the land surface, it referenced being outside the common knowledge. And 'railroad' was more a catchy word for a transportation corridor than an actual road of rails (being the fastest way to get around at the time).

How silly of me. Obviously, the original plans must have called for the tunnel to connect the capital of Nebraska with Lincoln in England, but they barely completed the section under the Hudson River before hitting impenetrable bedrock on both sides. Previously, Peter Stuyvesant intended the Holland Tunnel to reach the mother country, but a British invasion caused an avalanche that filled it with rolling stones.

Can you come up with five that won't refer to non-transportation people?

Not an answer. Question is still open and now applies to any city names also.

Still millions.
