Updates to Highway Data / Re: SD: truncate SD377?
« Last post by the_spui_ninja on April 29, 2024, 09:41:36 am »FWIW, the next day in Fort Pierre, I saw an End sign for SD 1806 at the US 14/SD 34 junction. Then a few blocks east, the sign assembly has SD 1806 continuing south onto US 83. Maybe SDDOT doesn't take END signs as seriously as we do in other jurisdictions?
So leaving SD 377 alone would be defensible, in the absence of other data like official route definitions, and considering that SD 240 is signed within Badlands National Park.
Route log (https://dot.sd.gov/media/documents/Pierre_Region_Highway_Log.pdf, page 164 of the PDF) has 377 going all the way to 240, plus every single official map of SD that's at that level of detail includes the 0.7 mi park section as 377.
The Fort Pierre "END" signs have always been janky as far back as I can remember (see the south junction of 1806 and 83 as well). Part of the problem is that concurrencies aren't in the official logs (like Colorado) but they are signed (unlike Colorado). There's enough signage for 1806 in Fort Pierre to keep the link along 83 and 14/34 in my opinion.
Hope you didn't get too wet in our neck of the woods haha!
