There was one road in the DFW area where you had to know east/west because one side was 817 while the other was 214 so it made it a long distance call depending on which area code you were calling to and from. 

I lived in Arlington and FTW in the 90s and didnt know that was a thing.  Anybody recall what road it was?  I would guess around Eastern Arlington or GP.

I wish I could remember. This would have been 90 or 91 when I lived there and had to carry a beeper for work. I wasn’t aware of the delineation and pulled over to call the office back in Richardson from the 817 (west) side of the road. I asked the clerk at the convenience store about it and he said go to the one on the other side of the road to call the Dallas area.

Sounds like 360. It runs the Tarrant/Dallas county line thru Arlington/Grand Prairie.
