The purpose of the United States (U.S.) Numbered Highway System is to facilitate travel on the main interstate highways, over the shortest routes and the best available roads. A route should form continuity of available facilities through two or more states that accommodate the most important and heaviest motor traffic flow in the area.

The routes comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways will be marked with its own distinctive route marker shield and will have a numbering system that is separate and apart from the U.S. Numbered Highway System. For the convenience of the motorist, there must be continuity and a uniform pattern of marking and numbering these Interstate routes without regard to state lines.

The U.S. Numbered System was established in 1926 and the Interstate Numbered System was established in 1956. Both have reached the period of review, revision, and consolidation. They now need perfecting rather than expansion. Therefore, any proposed alteration in the established systems should be extremely meritorious and thoroughly, though concisely, explained in order that the Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering and the Standing Committee on Highways of the Association may give prompt and proper consideration to each and every request made by a member department.

Explanation and Reasons for the Request: (Keep concise and pertinent.)

The State agrees and pledges its good faith that it will not erect, remove, or change any U.S. or Interstate Route Markers on any road without the authorization, consent, or approval of the Standing Committee on Highways of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, not withstanding the fact that the changes proposed are entirely within this State.

The weighted average daily traffic volume along the proposed route, as shown on the map on page 3, is as compared to for the year for all other U.S. Numbered Routes in the State.

The Purpose and Policy in the Establishment and Development of the United States Numbered Highways, as Retained from October 3, 1991 or the Purpose and Policy in the Establishment of a Marking System of the Routes Comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways as Retained from August 10, 1973 has been read and is accepted.

In our opinion, this petition complies with the above applicable policy.

A route should form continuity of available facilities through two or more states that accommodate the most important and heaviest motor traffic flow in the area.

The routes comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways will be marked with its own distinctive route marker shield and will have a numbering system that is separate and apart from the U.S. Numbered Highway System. For the convenience of the motorist, there must be continuity and a uniform pattern of marking and numbering these Interstate routes without regard to state lines.

The U.S. Numbered System was established in 1926 and the Interstate Numbered System was established in 1956. Both have reached the period of review, revision, and consolidation. They now need perfecting rather than expansion. Therefore, any proposed alteration in the established systems should be extremely meritorious and thoroughly, though concisely, explained in order that the Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering and the Standing Committee on Highways of the Association may give prompt and proper consideration to each and every request made by a member department.

Explanation and Reasons for the Request: (Keep concise and pertinent.)

The Arkansas Department of Transportation has constructed a new location facility that bypasses the City of Montrose,

Arkansas. This roadway segment is designated as U.S. Highway 82. A separate request has been submitted to relocate

U.S. Highway 82 to this new location. It is requested that U.S. Highway 82, through the City of Montrose, Arkansas, be

redesignated as U.S Highway 82 Business.

Date facility available to traffic NA Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing U.S. Route? Yes If so, where? Through the City of Montrose, Arkansas Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing Interstate Route? No If so, where?

The State agrees and pledges its good faith that it will not erect, remove, or change any U.S. or Interstate Route Markers on any road without the authorization, consent, or approval of the Standing Committee on Highways of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, not withstanding the fact that the changes proposed are entirely within this State. The weighted average daily traffic volume along the proposed route, as shown on the map on page 3, is 400 as compared to 3,100 for the year 2017 for all other U.S. Numbered Routes in the State. The Purpose and Policy in the Establishment and Development of the United States Numbered Highways, as Retained from October 3, 1991 or the Purpose and Policy in the Establishment of a Marking System of the Routes Comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways as Retained from August 10, 1973 has been read and is accepted.

The purpose of the United States (U.S.) Numbered Highway System is to facilitate travel on the main interstate highways, over the shortest routes and the best available roads. A route should form continuity of available facilities through two or more states that accommodate the most important and heaviest motor traffic flow in the area.

The routes comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways will be marked with its own distinctive route marker shield and will have a numbering system that is separate and apart from the U.S. Numbered Highway System.

Page 48: June 12 7...these Interstate routes without regard to state lines. The U.S. Numbered System was established in 1926 and the Interstate Numbered System was established in 1956. Both

The purpose of the United States (U.S.) Numbered Highway System is to facilitate travel on the main interstate highways, over the shortest routes and the best available roads. A route should form continuity of available facilities through two or more states that accommodate the most important and heaviest motor traffic flow in the area.

The routes comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways will be marked with its own distinctive route marker shield and will have a numbering system that is separate and apart from the U.S. Numbered Highway System. For the convenience of the motorist, there must be continuity and a uniform pattern of marking and numbering these Interstate routes without regard to state lines.

The U.S. Numbered System was established in 1926 and the Interstate Numbered System was established in 1956. Both have reached the period of review, revision, and consolidation. They now need perfecting rather than expansion. Therefore, any proposed alteration in the established systems should be extremely meritorious and thoroughly, though concisely, explained in order that the Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering and the Standing Committee on Highways of the Association may give prompt and proper consideration to each and every request made by a member department.

Explanation and Reasons for the Request: (Keep concise and pertinent.)

The Arkansas Department of Transportation has constructed a new location facility that bypasses the City of Gillett,

Arkansas. This roadway segment is designated as U.S. Highway 165. A separate request has been submitted to

relocate U.S. Highway 165 to this new location. It is requested that U.S. Highway 165, through the City of Gillett,

Arkansas, be redesignated as U.S Highway 165 Business.

Date facility available to traffic NA Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing U.S. Route? Yes If so, where? Through the City of Gillett, Arkansas Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing Interstate Route? No If so, where?

Page 71: June 12 7...these Interstate routes without regard to state lines. The U.S. Numbered System was established in 1926 and the Interstate Numbered System was established in 1956. Both

The purpose of the United States (U.S.) Numbered Highway System is to facilitate travel on the main interstate highways, over the shortest routes and the best available roads. A route should form continuity of available facilities through two or more states that accommodate the most important and heaviest motor traffic flow in the area.

The routes comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways will be marked with its own distinctive route marker shield and will have a numbering system that is separate and apart from the U.S. Numbered Highway System. For the convenience of the motorist, there must be continuity and a uniform pattern of marking and numbering these Interstate routes without regard to state lines.

The U.S. Numbered System was established in 1926 and the Interstate Numbered System was established in 1956. Both have reached the period of review, revision, and consolidation. They now need perfecting rather than expansion. Therefore, any proposed alteration in the established systems should be extremely meritorious and thoroughly, though concisely, explained in order that the Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering and the Standing Committee on Highways of the Association may give prompt and proper consideration to each and every request made by a member department.

Explanation and Reasons for the Request: (Keep concise and pertinent.)

The Arkansas Department of Transportation has constructed a new location facility that bypasses the City of Thornton,

Arkansas. This roadway segment is designated as U.S. Highway 167. A separate request has been submitted to

relocate U.S. Highway 167 to this new location. It is requested that U.S. Highway 167, through the City of Thornton,

Arkansas, be redesignated as U.S Highway 167 Business.

Date facility available to traffic NA Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing U.S. Route? Yes If so, where? Through the City of Thornton, Arkansas Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing Interstate Route? No If so, where?

The State agrees and pledges its good faith that it will not erect, remove, or change any U.S. or Interstate Route Markers on any road without the authorization, consent, or approval of the Standing Committee on Highways of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, not withstanding the fact that the changes proposed are entirely within this State. The weighted average daily traffic volume along the proposed route, as shown on the map on page 3, is 250 as compared to 4,000 for the year 2017 for all other U.S. Numbered Routes in the State. The Purpose and Policy in the Establishment and Development of the United States Numbered Highways, as Retained from October 3, 1991 or the Purpose and Policy in the Establishment of a Marking System of the Routes Comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways as Retained from August 10, 1973 has been read and is accepted.

In our opinion, this petition complies with the above applicable policy.

Abstract

Designating the US Bicycle Route System has been the intention of the Georgia DOT since 1995 when the State Transportation Board adopted several goals to guide the development and implementation of a statewide bicycle and pedestrian system. The U.S. Bicycle Route System is a unique opportunity to bring the economic benefits of bicycle tourism to Georgia and to promote Georgia’s cities and towns along the route. USBR 15 in particular will greatly increase regional connectivity by connecting Florida to South Carolina upon its completion. Please feel free to follow up with me with any questions. Thank you!

Abstract Designating the US Bicycle Route System has been the intention of the Georgia DOT since 1995 when the State Transportation Board adopted several goals to guide the development and implementation of a statewide bicycle and pedestrian system. The U.S. Bicycle Route System is a unique opportunity to bring the economic benefits of bicycle tourism to Georgia and to promote Georgia’s cities and towns along the route. The name changes proposed for the spurs on USBR 21 will update the naming convention to the proper standard. Please feel free to follow up with me with any questions. Thank you!
