CO: CO109 Spur?

[jayhawkco]

So I never paid much attention when I drove this, but it looks like CO109 has a signed spur. (It's not bannered however).

In La Junta, CO109 runs on an overpass over US50, but to get to CO109 from US50, it has you turn onto Branish Avenue and then left on 3rd Avenue. On this little spur, it is signed as CO109 and the CODOT Highway explorer calls it 109B. There are no "To" signs.

Signs here:
US50 EB (with mainline CO109 on the overpass in the distance)
CO109 Spur SB
CO109 Spur SB
CO109 Spur intersecting with mainline CO109
US50 WB

I just see another truck route looking at the signs on the GSV links.

I would agree except a) Colorado signs "Truck Route" on all kinds of things, and b) it's not a different way to get to CO109 from US50. It's the only way.

Well, it's signed as "TO US 50" going north, but "Truck Route" "CO 109" going south. I'm fine adding it in, but I think I would add it in as CO 109 Truck instead of CO 109 Spur because
1. That's the only banner we have in the field, and it would make things a
2. Because of CO's weird way of inventorying routes (any segments of numbered routes are A, B, C, D, etc., the letter has nothing to do with what kind of route it is), we don't know if it was intended to be a spur or not, so there's nothing official to fall back on.

Fine with me.

Cool, I'll add that in soon then.

I meant to say making a CO 109 Truck would align with the field signage better and minimize confusion ("Hey, they have this as a Spur! I remember it being Truck!" or something along those lines) but apparently completely forgot to type it out. It's been a crazy summer.

Sure. Seems reasonable, although it acts far more like a "spur" than a "truck" since it's not an alternate route.

I think that 3rdSt_E should be 3rdSt_W.

I think that 3rdSt_E should be 3rdSt_W.

You're right, that's what I meant. Don't know why I get east and west mixed up sometimes.
