D2b Why are there still U.S. Routes with directional suffixes?
The current AASHTO policy on U.S. routes says those with directional suffixes should be renumbered or decommissioned. However, the locals and frequent travellers are used to such suffixes, and would be confused if such renumberings took place. D3 State Highway Systems Every state and province maintains its own state highway system with its own numbers. Some states number only the most important routes connecting towns and villages (such as Maine and Wisconsin), while others number one-lane cowpaths (like Kentucky and Louisiana.) In many states, counties also have numbered and/or lettered roads. Some states (like Tennessee and Texas) have more than one marker for type of road. The District of Columbia, also has one numbered road, DC 295. For more information, try Matthew Salek’s page.
