Would Interstate 75 name it Detroit-Atlanta Freeway? It's a great name for that. I love to travel from Detroit to Atlanta every weekend.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.80.150.233 ( talk • contribs) 04:00, 3 October 2003.
No. I-75 in the north starts in Upper Michigan at Sault Ste. Marie (well north of Detroit) and ends in south Florida past Naples, Florida. I-75 technically ends in Miami, Florida if you include the Alligator Alley.
U.S. Highway 23 acts as a wormhole for I-75 near the Detroit area; should we mention in the notes that US-23 acts as a bypass for I-75 between Flint and Toledo? -- SuperDude 07:58, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Do we really need all three highways listed in the routebox? I'm inclined to say only list SR 826, since it's the intersecting/cross road at the terminus. SR 916 is the apparent continuation, and precedent is not to list these: there's no mention of I-20 business loop at the eastern end of I-20. SR 924 seems to be a surface street coming in through the spaghetti. — C.Fred ( talk) 02:33, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
The idea of an infobox is to give general information, so someone can look and see "aha, that's what this road is". This is why I'm using "near Miami" rather than "in Hialeah". How about a compromise:
-- SPUI ( T - C - RFC - Curpsbot problems) 09:36, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Based on the discussion above, it looks like "in Hialeah" is the favored verbage for the southern terminus, instead of "near Miami". What is everybody's opinion, just so I can get a feel for where we collectively stand?
The straw poll violates WP:V (and, by extension WP:NOR). There is no reliable source that states that the southern end is "near Miami", and virtually all sources show the terminus to be in Hialeah. Furthermore, the phrase "near Miami" violates WP:NPOV as it puts a value judgment of Miami over Hialeah. Unless there is a preponderance of evidence that says that I-75 ends, not in Hialeah, but "near Miami," Wikipedia should reflect its sources and state the actual location: in Hialeah, and the junction of SR 826, SR 924, and SR 916. 147.70.247.201 18:25, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Any further reverts of 'in Hialeah" by user SPUI should be considered vandilism. TimL 02:59, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Please don't be daft. You can't just "make" something vandilism. [sic] If someone exceeds three reverts, then use the 3RR noticeboard.

No mention is made of the Zilwaukee Bridge in this article. The old bridge was the only bascule bridge on the entire length of 75. The traffic backups were legendary. -- Brad101 16:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Who here wants to work on Exit lists by state? They've got them on I-95, they should be here too. DanTD 14:23, 24 June 2006 (EST)
I just started the Interstate 75 in Florida page. I'm calling for any interested Wikipedia members to edit the site and add whatever information they can. DanTD 19:28, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Since an anonymous editor is bouncing from IP to IP and changing the southern terminus repeatedly, is it time to protect this article against anonymous editing? The edit-revert cycle isn't doing anything to change consensus; forcing him to the talk page would at least point him in the direction of dialogue rather than edit warring. — C.Fred ( talk) 22:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Florida gives text descriptions of routes on their Intrastate Highways System map. [2] Map reference 404, Interstate 75, is located "From Palmetto Expwy (SR 826) in Miami to Georgia State Line". Since a reliable source now says in Miami, I am going to change the article accordingly. — C.Fred ( talk) 04:30, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
The Miami Herald says I-75 is in the "Miami area". -- NE2 19:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
The link at [3] shows photographic evidence, specifically [4], that I-75 ends before the toll plaza and is not carried over to the border on the International Bridge. Imzadi1979 ( talk) 00:58, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to ask this as I have little experience with whatever 'policies' or what not there are for material to be added to a wikipedia page or even wikipedia editing in general but is it odd that there isnt any mention of the demolition of most of Hastings street detroit (other wise known as black bottom) to make way for I 75? An act that displaced numerous African americans and is listed as one of the contributing factors of the 1967 Detroit riots?
Not even in the history or michigan section of this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.11.37.175 ( talk) 04:04, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
One of the curses of forgetting to remove an article from one's watch list is to see the edit war, line by line, as the article gets bounced back and forth. Frankly, I no longer give a damn about any road-related article anymore as two cliques are determined to run roughshod over Wikipedia rules in the two major Roads Wikiprojects. Nonetheless, I was encouraged to see that, finally, there appears to be a crack in the wall toward compromise. While the "near Miami" is completely redundant and POV in the infobox (it is duplicated on the same line just to the left of it) the statement that is objectively supported by a verifiable, cited reference is finally kept, and I hope that the people who worked so hard on the appearance of two words in an infobox would work just as hard at improving this mostly-unsourced article. I sincerely wish that both sides would simply leave the infobox alone until it is time to agree that to be consistent with the rest of Wikipedia, the "near" part will go. At least it is a reasonable compromise as it is. B.Wind ( talk) 03:48, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
In the interest of fairness, there is at least one other article that does use "near" - I-80. I think that's a special case, since the terminus is in a different state than the main city. -- NE2 13:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Surprise! The end is actually in Miami Lakes. Compare official maps of Miami Lakes and Hialeah. -- NE2 00:08, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
I think some of the "near" junction choices are subject to opinion. In general, GPSs don't consider anything more than 10 miles away as "near" - which is also subject to bias. I think all locations should simply reflect the location that it is in as opposed to "near". For example, Miami lakes is actually near north Miami beach, not miami. -- 66.87.81.95 ( talk) 11:00, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
Wouldn't that be considered original research? how many miles is considered "near"? -- 66.87.80.21 ( talk) 14:18, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

I think the Wikipedia page needs to add more metropolitan areas that I-75 goes through.
There is Miami, Florida; Tampa, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Knoxville, Tennessee; Lexington, Kentucky; Cincinnati, Ohio; Toledo, Ohio; and Detroit, Michigan. Minus three smaller metro areas: Macon, Georgia; Dayton, Ohio; and Flint, Michigan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hraines46 ( talk • contribs) 03:16, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
I get it. But Knoxville is bigger than Chattanooga. Just letting you know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hraines46 ( talk • contribs) 16:31, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
Why can't you just put Knoxville on the list? Its bigger than Chattanooga. And Chattanooga doesn't have a skyline, unlike Knoxville. Period. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hraines46 ( talk • contribs) 20:33, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

When I read the article, the templates get an error that the time allotted for running scripts has expired. It has to do with the Lua templates. What can I do to fix this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bubby33 ( talk • contribs) 13:52, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
The article for the I-75 lists the point of intersection as "near Tampa," while the article for the I-4 lists the intersection as "in Mango," The situation is rather complicated: while the majority of the interchange itself is in ZIP code 33610, the center of the interchange itself is in Mango.
