Why was US 666 renamed to US 491?

Cats would show up whenever someone gave directions regarding 666.

That's a common misconception.  It wasn't renumbered.  It's still US-666.  Those US-491 shields are technically errors.  The actual US-491 runs immediately to the west of I-15, between the southern terminus of US-91 and just north of Willard Bay State Park.  Due to sign theft along US-666 and the low AADT on actual US-491, UDOT decided to sign the former with shields they removed from the latter (and unused extras that were stored in the sign shop).

The Democrats wanted to ensure the road would not be associated with the President's boyfriend:

Why was US 666 renamed to US 491?

When the state of Utah figured out that all the numbers from a roulette wheel add up to 666, they immediately filed for a renumbering in order to discourage gambling.

They realized that Hell was actually in MI, and the road itself never went anywhere near that town, so they drew three lottery balls for the new number.

It could, because I wasn't going to give a more obvious answer, like "go ahead and put in a zero to make it 109".

No, no, if you live there you've been to it, so it can't be your most-recently-never-visited state.

Think of all of the states you've never been to.

Which one is the most recent?

And why?
