Title: Northeast U.S. Bicycle Route thread
Post by: rushfan01760 on April 03, 2023, 06:38:21 PM
(Road related but for bicycles)
U.S. Bicycle Route (USBR) 7 is now signed in the State of Connecticut.    This is the second USBR signed in New England (USBR 1 is signed in Maine). 

Here is a link to a press release from the Adventure Cycling Association (which works with AASHTO to number bicycle routes):

I thought and wish that "BR" was "Business Route".

Went up to the Midcoast region of Maine last weekend.   I noticed that US Bicycle Route 1A was signed (despite the Adventure Cycling Association's insistence that it is not).   There are a couple of signs that are either missing or are in error though.

Last month AASHTO approved a new section of U.S. Bicycle Route 11 in Pennsylvania.  This segment goes through York and Harrisburg and also runs alongside part of the Susquehanna River as well as near the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon.  More details can be found here:  https://www.adventurecycling.org/members/news/three-new-routes-added-to-the-us-bicycle-route-system/ (https://www.adventurecycling.org/members/news/three-new-routes-added-to-the-us-bicycle-route-system/)
