Mallettbarr State Highway 5 in Newmarket Fellows, Mallettbarr

 

In Newmarket Fellows, Mallettbarr, Mallettbarr State Highway 5 is the principal motorway (controlled-access highway/freeway) in the area, linking the city to Melvinsboro (the state capital) and Port Pettigrew. The highway's northern terminus is at the Newmarket Fellows-Creighton Ferry (which takes commuters to Creighton, Altamasstachia through the Sea of Orr and takes about seven and a half hours to complete a one-way trip), where the road starts out heading southbound with right-hand traffic for four miles until the road shifts to the left side of the road, as Mallettbarr drives on the left (the only U.S. state to do so, and the only other U.S. jurisdiction that drives on the left is the U.S. Virgin Islands). This unique quirk was constructed along with the rest of Mallettbarr State Highway 5 when Mallettbarr upgraded nine of its several state highways through the 1950s-1980s to Interstate highway standards* and designated them as state motorways, with the re-routed State Highway 5 ending at the Newmarket Fellows-Creighton Ferry, and it is suggested that the feature was to allow motorists from Altamasstachia to make an easier transition to Mallettbarr's rules of the road, as the ferry is the most commonly used transportation hub for commuters travelling between Altamasstachia and Mallettbarr. As the road signs in the diagram show, the roadway (heading southbound) allows four miles before the first exit off Mallettbarr State Highway 5 for motorists to keep driving on the right side of the road as accustomed to in Altamasstachia before switching to the left side of the road. Following the last exit off the motorway (heading northbound), the roadway switches to the right side of the road and travels for four miles before ending at the ferry, so Altamasstachia-bound motorists can learn the right side of the road. This particular segment of the motorway, the only place in Mallettbarr where it is legal to drive on the right side of the road, is considered part of Mallettbarr State Highway 5 but is not signed as such until the first exit off the motorway, which is Newmarket County Road 284. Road signs at this interchange have the control city southbound as Melvinsboro and northbound as Ferry to Altamasstachia. Mallettbarr's state highways are maintained and operated by the Mallettbarr Department of Transportation and Public Works (MLDT&PW).

* - Mallettbarr does not have Interstate highways, signed or unsigned, as federal funding was never asked for or utilized by the state of Mallettbarr in constructing and maintaining its motorway network. The same is true of Altamasstachia, whose State Freeway Routes were built exclusively with state funds and are maintained with state funds (and have wider-than-normal shoulders and commercial service plazas in lieu of traditional rest areas, against federal funding regulations and FHWA standards for non-tolled Interstate highways). Contrary to popular opinion, the fact that Mallettbarr drives on the left side of the road is not a reason at all as to why there are no Interstate highways in Mallettbarr.

Regions of Zeconnemeleth

Image
  A map of the four geographic regions of the U.S. state of Zeconnemeleth (click to enlarge). For political, economical and cultural reasons, there are 4 regions in the U.S. state of Zeconnemeleth, which are not necessarily geographically distinct from one another. These four regions were originally drawn up as the three original counties of the Protectorate of Zeconnemeleth, North Carolina which lasted from the jurisdiction's establishment in 1779 to 1861, when Zeconnemeleth seceded from North Carolina and became a federal territory the following year in 1862 and from that point the three counties were gradually broken up into the 56 counties of today. The original three counties of the Protectorate of Zeconnemeleth - Northern Zeconnemeleth, Central Zeconnemeleth and Southern Zeconnemeleth - were subsequently divided into the current 56 counties between 1862 and 1926 and are now considered regions by the Zeconnemeleth state government with Central Zeconnemeleth split into North Ce...

"Mallettbarr Plainess" - A Summary of Mallettbarr Culture and Defining Characteristics

Mallettbarr isn't called the Prudence State because of the implication that its residents are humble, low-key and are extremely disinclined to stand out from one another – Mallettbarrites are socially prudent, tend to be largely ignorant of the world outside their own physical constitutions, and are unwavering (indeed, the state's motto). Anti-social, curt, brusque, abrasive, provincial, grumpy, aloof, cold, distant, insecure, self-defensive and standoffish are not words you'd expect to describe someone from a place that's in between Altamasstachia and Hawaii, but these stereotypes are accurate and appropriate given their love of living pure, unadulterated country life and in solitude, nature, hunting, fishing, hiking and football and a quiet contempt for anything else. Where a whisper is a yell, Mallettbarrites are a hard, difficult people who live simply and deliberately.  After all, "Mallettbarr Plainess", the term often used to describe the reclusive natur...

Things Only People From Altamasstachia Understand

Image
It may be true that each state is unique in their own way, but Altamasstachia truly isn't like all the other states in America! Here in the Bayflower State, we Altamasstachians take extreme pride in our ways of life, our traditions and our oddities and quirks that define our homeland as we continue to embrace our future together, from Olympia to San Gerardo Bravo to Heston to St. Ann to Foxbridge and to New Scotland. While there's always something for everyone in Altamasstachia whether you're north or south of the Clapton Line, there's always going to be our own unique eccentricities only we Bayflower folk can understand. Altamasstachians Measure Travel In Counties.   Lee County is just one of Altamasstachia's seemingly endless counties. And trust us, each county has something for everyone. With the possible exception of Midway County. You may as well get used to seeing lots of these signs travelling on the road in this state. Altamasstachia has 550 counties, which ...
