I'm confused as to why Berry Hill Road needs to be a US route? Low traffic counts, there's nothing there really. Isn't I-785 there to give Danville it's recognition?

The US 311 extension is a North Carolina endeavor.  They requested Virginia's participation.

See http://www.ctb.virginia.gov/resources/2012/july/pres/Resolution_Agenda_Item_4_rte311_transfer_CTBresolution_July18_12rev.pdf


North Carolina's rationale can be found starting on Page 30 of this document: https://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/safety/Route%20Changes/2013_01_22.pdf

Interesting. I'm not so much complaining it's just hard to imagine 863 a US route. Also isn't wasn't even a few years ago NC didn't even sign 311 between 220B and 220 along 704 in Madison. Now they've extended it a couple times. I can't imagine the residents along 863 are happy about it,even with traffic counts at the state line around 2000.

I think it would be a roadgeek anomaly tho. Ignoring consigned routes with interstates, how often do two US routes (311,58) cross over without a direct connection? Will there be signage at the 58/58B interchange for 311?
