Title: Fort Worth, TX: SH 121 Signs on Chisholm Trail Pkwy
Post by: Brian556 on July 13, 2022, 08:51:02 PM
On GSV, I haven't seen any SH 121 signs on the CTP. However, in a news story about loose animals on the highway, I did see SH 121 and CTP signs. I had also thought that it had been decided that the CTP would not be part of SH 121, however, the highway designation file says it is (in a way). Was the SH 121 signage just recently added?

The minute orders are almost 20 years old. The Bonham portion doesn't even address the US-82 reroute that happened nearly that long ago (IE, there is no current concurrency with US-82. It is now SH-56.)

So, the southernmost portion being a mess is no surprise. 

As to the signage, it would be consistent with type that where there are frontage roads, they would be labeled as SH-121.

I have no idea about what frontage roads are actually there. Google maps looks like they are mostly NOT there.

The sign at 0:24 clearly states frontage road only. The sign (https://www.google.com/maps/@32.6772563,-97.4060497,3a,36.6y,330.67h,85.86t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s6fWeMpFdeN-VnqhKwygD2w!2e0!5s20220501T000000!7i16384!8i8192) has been there since CTP opening (https://www.google.com/maps/@32.6768315,-97.4062643,3a,15.2y,10.08h,89.68t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sdO2xigmquDTxQgxF7F0ctA!2e0!5s20140701T000000!7i13312!8i6656). There's one southbound too (https://www.google.com/maps/@32.6962267,-97.4057214,3a,34.4y,182.22h,90.4t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1smyvc2YsWh5KhyLlee-CnsQ!2e0!5s20140701T000000!7i16384!8i8192).
