B · Relationships

How it relates to other codes

The codes 808 was split from, spawned, or shares its area with. A split divides the map and changes some numbers; an overlay shares the same ground and changes none — what's the difference?

What's changing. No overlay. Single statewide code. Projected sufficient until at least 2035.
