Quote from: AHTD on July 10, 2014, 01:58:26 PMThere are other U.S. highways in Arkansas built to Interstate standards that are not designated as such:
The presence of other non-interstate interstate-standard freeways does not preclude giving an interstate designation to one such of these roads. All you've said is that it is possible for an interstate-standard road to not have an interstate designation. You haven't said why this interstate-standard road shouldn't have an interstate designation...

And what's with this first example of a US highway with interstate standards but not designated as such? A state highway with an AASHTO submitted and approved interstate designation that isn't enacted only as you are waiting to join it up with the Louisiana segment. There's better examples you could have used!

Given we're having state routes is AR151 up to scratch? I'm surprised that Texarkana, having got three sides of an interstate loop, don't want to finish the job!

The 151s shouldn't exist.  369 should be truncated to the 59/151 interchange (basically, it shouldn't exist until the freeway south of the loop is built).  The rest of the loop should be I-230, with a short duplex with I-49.  If Texas must, they could sign 369 north along 230, but that is neither here nor there.  My point is that the loop should have one single number connecting the entire loop.  Now it's US 59/I-369 to TX 151 to AR 151 to AR 549.  If the entire loop were I-230 it would make navigation easier.
