There's a bunch of sites like this. One I saw recently claimed US 9 went thru parts of PA. Even the map they used didn't show the routing in PA. (I wondered if they confused the PANYNJ, which has jurisdiction with US 9 as it crosses the GWB, as being part of PA.)
At least whatever the scam is on this one they aren't trying to obscure that it's based out of India like so many others.

Scrape, build, "engage", make a few pennies out of it, repeat. Soulless stuff abounds.
For those who don't want to open the link:
QuoteU.S. Route 15 is a north-south highway in the eastern United States, running from Walterboro, South Carolina, to the Canadian border in New York. It covers a diverse range of landscapes, including rural farmlands, rolling hills, small towns, and historic areas. The route passes through several states, including South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York.
In the southern section, U.S. Route 15 serves as a regional connector between small towns and agricultural areas in the Carolinas and Virginia. As the highway moves northward, it intersects with major interstates, including I-64 and I-66 in Virginia, providing access to larger metropolitan areas like Washington, D.C. However, much of the route retains its rural character, making it a popular alternative for travelers seeking a more scenic drive compared to busy highways.
The northern section of U.S. Route 15 is particularly scenic, especially as it moves through the Appalachian Mountains and into Pennsylvania. In this region, the highway passes near Gettysburg National Military Park, a significant historical site related to the American Civil War. U.S. Route 15 continues northward through central Pennsylvania, offering access to picturesque areas along the Susquehanna River.
As it nears its terminus, U.S. Route 15 runs through New York's Finger Lakes region, known for its wineries and outdoor recreational opportunities. The highway ends at the Canada–U.S. border near the town of Rouses Point, New York, where it connects with Quebec Route 133, providing access to Montreal.
Throughout its route, U.S. 15 serves as an important corridor for both local and long-distance travelers. Its combination of historical landmarks, scenic views, and access to major cities and rural areas makes it a versatile and well-traveled highway.
Looks like more AI - especially given the picture clearly showing that it does not go to Canada.

Yeah, this definitely sounds AI generated and it must have very gotten confused north of Corning, as it veers off through the Finger Lakes (which is questionable even for former US/now NY 15) before becoming US 11.
If I got that response to an AI inquiry about US 15 I'd respond with all of the inaccuracies and see how self-conscious I could make it :sombrero:
Stop giving AI written crap attention. I just block these pages whenever appear in my feed.

Great point, very well could be, although that doesn't explain the Finger Lakes, which US 11 misses entirely.

It's simple. AI is just having too much alcohol on its server (probably tipped the server too much, that's why the alcohol is so strong) and is now way outside its league at trying to do what AA roads members do better.
The article couldn't even be dumb enough to include NY 15 and falsely claim the road leads to Rochester, as if we were still in sometime before 1978. No, it had to go straight into fantasy land and claim it went to the Quebec border. Just one more reason to reject the BS about AI being the wave of the future.

Oh no, the AI found my plans to invade upstate NY!
Looks lifted directly from Wikipedia, at least the first paragraph.
Kevin Salm in the comments greatly annoys me.
"Both of these roads US 220 and US 340 are North-South routes and should have Odd numbers."
Buddy, 3DUS highways are exempt from that rule...

Is that really true, or just something people say to justify US 220, US 340, US 522, etc?

I wouldn't imagine Kevin being a fan of US 52, an east-west route that also goes north-south in several states...

I mean, I've never seen anything that says 3DUS Highways have to follow it like 2DUS Highways.

Don't show him US 33 either.
One of these sites put one of these up for US-27. They correctly stated that it ended in Indiana. About 20 different Michiganians argued the the route still goes into Michigan, with one person saying it still goes into Cheboygan. It was then I quit looking at these things on FB.
I'm still trying to understand the angle on creating AI Facebook pages. Even if they were monetized the ROI wouldn't be very big given the size of the typical follower base.
