As I'm writing my Ohio 710 page, I notice that the first shield leaving OH 161 is for North 710. Well, the route runs mostly east/west, but the major issue is that the other end of 710 faces south. Anyway, I get to the other end, and on Cleveland Avenue NB I find a milepost that says "710 N" on it. What this basically tells me is that OH 710 NB has no ends - and OH 710 SB has two ends. Or just maybe ODOT should sign the whole thing east/west. (:

I think ODOT shouldn't sign the route at all.  Change it to 161C internally and take all the signs down.  I'd say abolish the route completely, but it's probably there for a reason, that reason having something to do with the Budweiser brewery.  Like all cities in Ohio, Columbus is responsible for routine maintenance of all non-Interstate state highways in its borders, but I suspect cities get state funding to do so in an amount which is based on in-city highway mileage, so decommissioning OH 710 would interfere with that.  But as far as I can tell, the signage of this screwball route is of no benefit to the public.
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.
