Yeah, east of Nashville, US 70 splits into US 70N, US 70 and US 70S! :confused:

There is nothing wrong with the suffixed U.S. highways anywhere. In fact it's a shame there aren't more since AASHTO has gotten rid of some. It's a part of the rich history of the U.S. Highway system.

It apparently didn't confuse people 70-80 years ago when they were established. And if it confuses people today, then all suffixed highways would be gone, but they are not, are they?? And yes, I know the answer to that one will be "it costs money."
The main reason it may cause confusion in today's society is that we have too many "rocks" out there and we have to spell everything out for them so they do not get too confused.
Many others may not agree with my ways of thinking, but I am sticking to my guns.

I much prefer a suffix A over an ALTERNATE banner. Banners should be only for direction ... the shield itself should contain complete information to uniquely identify the road. Texas has it right for BUSINESS being in the shield itself.

Would anyone know the current status of the toll feasibility study for the Intra County Parkway that will bypass the Sevierville and Pigeon Forge area?
