The Indiana Toll Road test for this ground

The toll road touches this county and misses this town by the county's whole depth, and the interstate edge is dated here so the freeway article never has to carry it. The Indiana Toll Road — Interstates 80 and 90 together — opened across the state's northern tier in 1956, running through St. Joseph County's north edge on the South Bend and Notre Dame exits' latitude, some eighteen miles north of Lakeville. It is the county's interstate, and it is not this ground's: no toll-road mile, interchange, or service facility stands in Union Township, and no carrier reached ever proposed one here. The distinction the leg needs is between that road and the town's own freeway: the 2014 U.S. 31 freeway, a mile east of town with Exit 239 at State Road 4, is a United States highway built to freeway standard — not an interstate, carrying no interstate shield, and not a toll road; the corridors file's freeway article is about that road and no other. The edge test therefore closes the class: toll road, at the county's north edge, dated 1956, boundary size; interstate in the township, none; the town's high-speed road, a federal highway, dated 27 August 2014, owned by the freeway article. Printed once, so no later worker files the Toll Road under Lakeville or the freeway under the interstates.
