The way this thread has turned into a thread about marriage, proves the thread itself might be a bot.

OK, I never been to Nevada, OK, I can see why it's underrated, but, I still recognize it as US 93, and I will until it's completed.

What difference worth a hill of beans does you recognizing it matter to anyone? Is the opinion of someone who's never been to Nevada supposed to affect the highway designations here?

I'll go with what NDOT says, thanks.

Laughlin and Bullhead have a lot of awesome road items too, they just aren't freeways.  AZ 68 and NV 163 are both pretty impressive expressway corridors.  Christmas Tree Pass and Oatman Highway are just a couple of the awesome back roads.

AZ 68 and NV 163 are pretty neat. Already checked those off my list. Oatman Highway is a "maybe some day when I'm in the area anyway and I don't have my wife in the car". I also want to get the Peach Springs alignment of US 66—vaguely considered it on my recent trip but after the rotten luck I was having with bridges being closed on that trip it felt too much like pushing my luck.

I've liked my visits to Phoenix.  Neat more modern city than most of our American cities.

I don't have feelings about it one way or another given that I've never been there, but without a specific reason to go there, like an event, it would be really weird to choose to explore it before one of the other nearby cities I haven't been to, like, you know. Los Angeles. San Francisco.

Clark St. (and the surrounding streets on existing STH 66) should remain one-way. I hate one-way-to-two-way conversions.

Oh I am completely the opposite. I love them. They slow down traffic and make commercial districts much easier to manage. I completely understand why cities want them.

Between Manitowoc, Madison, and Stevens Point there seems to be a lot of reroute requests initiated by cities.

I think its obvious that these cities don't find much benefit to these routes being state highways.

Manitowoc finds great value with state highways. That's why one bridge is US 10 and the other Wis 42 so the drawbridges can continue to receive state aid. They wanted US 10 off the one way pair onto the 4 lane Maritime Dr so 8th/10th & 11th streets could become two way streets.

Green Bay and Milwaukee have more urban state highways than other cities. My guess is that they want the connecting highway aid from the state.

Aren't all of the bridges across the Fox required to hold a state designation?

The Veterans Lift Bridge in Kaukauna across the Fox is Catherine St, County N crosses between Kimberly and Little Chute. Appleton has the Lawe Street,College Ave, Olde Oneida, and Oneida Street bridges. None are state highways.

Ken Tenn? Ben's brother?

I assumed Kentucky-Tennessee

I assumed Tenn Rd to the village of Ken.
