usaush: United States Historic US Routes

[shiggins]

Thought I'd drop these here too, I did happen to notice a couple of Historic US 80 signs in Arizona on the section between Ligurta and Mowhawk Pass in Yuma County when I was on it back in March.

There may be more signs than this but frankly I couldn't tell you exactly where they all were.

There's an eastbound shield in Ligurta at Dome Valley Road. There's a westbound shield at Avenue 52 1/2 E at Mohawk Pass.

Does Historic 66 in Needles follow the Business 40 (CR 66) routing? If so, there's a broken concurrency.

US 99Ehischi: WTF?

I'm guessing this refers to the stray one-waypoint.wpt file, that's an unprocessed .wpt not in the HB.
'
I had mentioned to Si that I'd seen US 99E historic signage south of downtown Chico (probably summer 2017), but no photos or other details. Si couldn't find the signs I saw.

I have no problems with omitting this route, unless a better GMSV search spots adequate signage..

BTW, there is a nice sign for this right here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/j6i7PCGeciHN1eeo6. That's from 2021, but I saw it IRL last June 30. It's obviously for the pre-1955 alignment, but I didn't follow it up Midway toward Chico because I was on a mission to clinch 162. GSV shows it (blurry) in 2007, but shows a ROAD WORK AHEAD sign on that signpost in 2012. So someone has been maintaining it since then. It also seems unlikely that someone would have put up only one of these signs. Is there some "official" process for putting up historic US route signs in California, or, more to the point, is there some "official" process for taking them down, meaning this is just a sign that they missed when they were removing them?

There is a section of Historic US 395 through Vista and San Marcos, CA. This section begins at Interstate 15 Business in San Marcos, follows County Road 14 or Mission Road until the intersection of Main Street in downtown Vista, CR 13 or Vista Way, then follows the road until CA 76. A map of the route can be found here.

There are several US 395 historic signs along this route, especially in downtown Vista.

Sign 1
Sign 2
Sign 3
Sign 4, northern terminus

There's more than this but I thought these would work.

I have a few CA ones I need to add, hopefully this week. 99 is missing a couple as well up north.

Finally have the time to add that segment of Historic 395. Also adding 2 Historic 99 segments in NorCal (Cottonwood and Redding), the latter of which is entirely concurrent with CA 273.

Marsh Station Rd east of Tucson is signed as Historic Route 80 in three places:

Eastbound start
Eastbound middle
Westbound middle
Westbound start

There is a cattle grate and pavement change near each end, so I'm wondering if this road goes through a ranch, and they put up the signs. They went up some time between 2011 and 2021.

I've added this

Also added the route through Mesa, which is signed as Original Route 60-70-80-89, and a bit of AZ85.

It probably was the ranch. Pima County/the cities in it make no effort to sign Historic 80, despite being big lobbiers for the route to be recognised by the state (unlike Maricopa County, which also doesn't sign it).

I've spend far too long looking along this route for signs. I'm surprised there's none in Casa Grande (where it's ADOT), but apparently not!

US 20 Historic signed at Correctionville and Cushing, Iowa along CR D22 in Woodbury County. Not sure if it's signed west of IA 31. I'll be in this general vicinity in a few days, I'll post whether or not I discover anything else.

Sign 1 (GSV)
Sign 2 (GSV)

... should've looked a little harder before making another post literally 10 minutes later, but CR D27 (or 230th street) east of Ira Ave to IA471, follow south to CR D36 all the way to US169, US20BusFor between US 169 and CR D20, CR D20 to CR D25, CR D25 to CR R75, CR R75 to CR D20, CR D20 to US 65, and CR D15 to IA 57 are all designated as US 20 Historic.

There's signs up periodically throughout the route, I didn't realize how long it was but the route looks something like this: (Link)

[si404]

also signed at Winthrop, IA187, IA38, Dyersville, Fairley, Dubuque (at Seppel Road).

[si404]

well signed through Waterloo too.

I didn't find any signs between I-35 and Alden (and the route https://www.historicus20.com/uploads/3/4/4/1/34413072/historic_route_20_iowa_2018.pdf is not the same as you have mapped - I looked at both) and the GMSV is recent enough (elsewhere signs aren't on '22 imagery, but are on '25 imagery).
