MT: MT 2
« on: June 21, 2023, 01:07:30 pm »
MT 2 has a partially-signed "Off-System" (https://app.mdt.mt.gov/routeidtool/) section between the MT 41 junction and the US 287 junction. Signage for MT 2 is consistent from MT 41 to the MT 69 junction in Whitehall, but then disappears until the US 287 junction. MT 2 is signed heading west from 287, but there's not much after that. I have been up that way, but not for 16 years so I don't really remember how it looked. Since MT 69 and S-359 are well signed along the concurrent section, I am proposing splitting MT 2 into MT 2 (Butte) (Butte to the MT 69 junction) and MT 2 (Cardwell) (S-359 south of I-90 to Three Forks) to match signage on the ground as best as possible. Thoughts by anyone else before I make this?

No, leave it as is. It's signed enough and it does officially exist - the GIS database in your link lists "SIGNED ROUTE: MT-2" for the off-system sections.

Plenty of states have sections of state routes that are county/local maintenance, that's all this is.

I'll at least extend S-359 to the MT 69 junction, since it's signed as going south from there.
