Are there any bannered routes outside the US?

They certainly have plenty of suffixed roads. BC97 I think has A, B, C, and D. But I don't recall seeing any actual banners anywhere.

TIL...

For four decades until 1996, Kansas had two highways numbered 150:

1.  One that connected to US-50 in Chase and Marion Counties.  This K-150 still exists.

2.  A continuation in Johnson County of MO-150, which itself is still connected to US-50 in Missouri.  This K-150 no longer exists because the towns around it had grown enough that it had nothing left outside municipal boundaries (plus US-169 was relocated), so now the western endpoint of MO-150 is just a city street in Kansas.
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

Quote from: kphoger on January 17, 2025, 09:33:57 AMTo me, a suffix and a banner are not the same thing.
They're not physically the same, but they often have the same meaning.

But not always. In Oklahoma, a suffix normally indicates a spur route, and it just ascends through the alphabet A-B-C-D-etc. So if you are expecting 63A to be an alternate of 63 and meet back up with it again, you are probably going to be astonished. Twice.

So the reason I remembered BC has bannered routes is because of this assembly on TCH 1 WB, which is the only sign for an old alignment of TCH 1 in Chase.

Also, TCH 1 and PE 2 around Charlottetown are signed as "BY-PASS", though the associated old alignments are no longer signed as business routes:

I was unaware that New Hampshire state route 10 extended to India. :bigass:

There's a lot of overlap between India's two letter state codes and the US'. Including the National Highways (NH) and National Expressways (NE).

Overall, India did take a lot of cues from the US/Interstate systems when they renumbered the entire NH system back in 2011 though. I do find India's fondness of suffixed 3dNH (NH 765D, 765DG, and 930P in Telangana, for example) numbering a bit annoying, however.

Whatever you say, National Expressway 2.

Didn't Florida do the same thing as well with their suffixed routes?
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.
