NM: US-285 exit number labels?

[rickmastfan67]

Shouldn't those labels either be "US84(#)" or "#(84)" since those are US-84's exit numbers between 166 & 183 and not US-285's?  I'd lean more towards the "US84(#)" style labels since US-285 doesn't have any exit numbers of it's own.

US-84 doesn't have any exit numbers of it's own.

No - New Mexico mileposts US 84 as a north-south route with a zero point in Fort Sumner, since it's concurrent with other US highways east from there all the way to the Texas line (mostly US 60). So those are US 84-based exit numbers. If they were based on 285, they'd be in the low 300s.

Hmmm, I just put US-84 in the editor, flipped it, and striped out the US-60 segment and the mileage does then almost match up (3 miles off the exit numbers).  Interesting for sure.

Adjusting thread title then.

If you want further proof, this is the official NMDOT milepost map:
