Border Crossings

In eMILER, you can access state border crossings using the eMILER border crossing naming convention. Border crossing names have the following syntax:

!XXYY Name, XX

where XX is the two-letter abbreviation of the state that is first in alphabetical order, YY is the abbreviation of the state that is second in alphabetical order, and Name is the full route name of the route that crosses the border (there is no limit to the number of characters in a route name). In cases where the road name is different on either side of the border, the road name found in state XX is used.

For example, the border along Interstate 95 between Pennsylvania and New Jersey is entered as:

!NJPA I95, NJ

To locate all possible border crossings between two states, use the [*] wildcard character. For example:

!NJPA *, NJ

will create a drop-down listbox when you attempt to run a route. This listbox, similar to those generated by the Spelling and ZIP Code Helpers, lists all Pennsylvania/New Jersey border crossings. Highlight your selection in the listbox, and rerun the route.
