Title: TX: US 67 Business Alvarado
Post by: Jim on June 05, 2021, 10:12:23 pm
I drove part of this route today.  I noticed a sign at College and Parkway (our I-35BL_S point) on College WB, which is also visible on GMSV, that directs a "Truck Business US 67" straight onto Glenwood Drive.  Nothing saying the business US 67 turns north on Parkway back to US 67 as we have it.

I also found it interesting that the I-35 business loop is signed as I-35 BL on the shields in town, but I-35W BL from I-35.

The stupid truck route looks like local signage. Glenwood isn't TXDOT.
The designation file (http://www.dot.state.tx.us/tpp/hwy/bu/bu0067n.htm) does have the beginning at I-35BL, but then (https://www.google.com/maps/@32.4162996,-97.2227201,3a,40.5y,276.19h,93.07t/data=!3m9!1e1!3m7!1seCEeMTyrZ5hUUisxxmF2sg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!9m2!1b1!2i40) OTOH (https://www.google.com/maps/@32.4160122,-97.2232004,3a,15y,104.96h,89.29t/data=!3m10!1e1!3m8!1su0yOXCLZ8B1PT9DyNw5HxA!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3Du0yOXCLZ8B1PT9DyNw5HxA%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D295.0663%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!9m2!1b1!2i40)...

Yup. That threw me for a loop when doing the TX cleanup for CHM. Internal designation of BI 35-V can be the tie-breaker.
