What's the numbered highway in the world and why?

Quote from: kkt on November 18, 2025, 01:11:55 PM1, because it's the loneliest number.

Quote from: kphoger on November 18, 2025, 01:32:04 PMAlso 2, because 2 can be as bad as 1.

It's just no good anymore since you went away, Number One.

What existing US Route(s) should be decommissioned and why?

US-6.

Because of Colorado, it's not truly coat to cost.

This is a good answer to me.

All of them. My plans upgrade them into coat to cost Interstates. I think this is needed.
Hey, that's FritzOwl's line!

As for my answer, it's none of them, because the damage has already been done.

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

US 66. Apparently the first decommissioning didn't stick, because the route is still full of signs that tell you you're on Route 66. We need to try harder to get rid of all that stuff this time around.

US 113. If we're gonna squick a road geek, we need to eliminate the lowest numbers first.

TBD when it's determined the Secretary of the Interior = interior designer and needs to be involved in sign design.

Coral will denote that the smoking of reefer is authorized while driving on said route.

Light blue will denote that all road users must be male and must carry musical instruments and electric lights.

In Britain, they've reserved the background color deep purple for the same regulation requirements.

From how far away will these signs be posted?

Only in the Miami area?
Throughout southern Florida?
Statewide?
Nationwide?
Coming down off the Ambassador Bridge?
Tok?

If you annex the US, that opens up some opportunities for domestic Canadian tourism. I can hear the TV commercials already: "Take off... to the Great White South; Take off... it's a beauty way to go" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jm4LoOaAWI)

Somewhere in Collier County, then.  He attended Collier High School, so can we assume in/around North Naples?

I don't think so.  I've even sent him a PM about it, so ignorance is no excuse at this point.  Maybe he doesn't like the idea of the thread and this is his way of protesting it?
