Excellent post. I am thinking about sending it to the Ohio House of Representatives Transportation Committee members in the affected districts. This really is stupid, shoddy, third rate and something really does need to be done about it.

There is a time and a place where US Highways are useful as alternate routes, if they are consistent in quality. Nevada had the right idea to move US 395 to I-580, because that way it is consistent in quality as the thru north-south route people take. There is also a signed alternate that is useful for motorists in the event of an emergency or if they simply choose not to take the freeway--the point is that the thru route is very clearly designated and consistently numbered.

I completely agree.

And since we are already talking fixing US-23, I think that MDOT should redesignate the 21 miles of M-13 from Kawkawlin to Standish (as well as the 2½ mile M-13 Connector to I-75) back to US-23, rerouting it from the mainline freeway.

Huron Road is a perfectly acceptable, 5-lane alternative route that I take often on the summer Sundays when I-75 SB becomes overloaded. (Not to mention the road still has Pinconning Cheeseries and Rosie's Pies).

It would be good for out of staters to be able to feel more comfortable on it as most folks feel U.S. Roads have more panache than a state road. Road geeks know better, but this change wouldn't be for them.

There's a lot to look at so take your time. Lots of RIROs is all I can say.
