Why only "2"?

"Each exit in the highway loop is numbered 2" - yeah, ok, but: Why? It doesn't seem to be something obvious like "all on the same mile". There must be some reason, because otherwise it could just use letters without the totally redundant number. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:9E8:2B3C:9500:8AD6:3843:31A4:EEA7 (talk) 11:19, 22 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Is this sourced somehow?

I have to say that I've never heard the downtown loop called the "Alphabet Loop" - is there anywhere in print where this is referenced? (ESkog)^(Talk) 00:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

It's not called the "Alphabet Loop." I've added a Citation Needed tag. I was tempted to just remove it. I mean, it's completely fake, but it's been on Wikipedia long enough that now you can find this name used on the web. But no one in real life says that.

That used to be the name of this article, years ago. I suspect the original author of the article though it was cute, and didn't understand or just didn't take it seriously. 2605:A601:AC8A:D200:60AE:CB59:9A9A:C6BE (talk) 04:58, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

From a quick Google search, it's in use in a local NPR article from 2015 and various other websites that aren't Wikipedia mirrors. Imzadi 1979 → 12:21, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

I would like to see sources from before the creation of the original Wikipedia article. No one here says that. I believe Wikipedia was in fact the origin of the term. 2605:A601:AC8A:D200:7012:F169:526B:41B8 (talk) 14:24, 24 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Incomplete

Where are the exits between M and U?
