Design change

This particular page redesign's main discussion point is at WT:USH. —Rob (talk) 20:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Content of "States traversed"

So... what's the balance between "a summary of U.S. Route 20 in X" and "not enough content"? —Rob (talk) 16:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the article as it is right now, the balance is fine east to Indiana, where the sections basically bottom out from Ohio east. AFAIK, no US 20 state-specific articles currently exist east of Indiana, so we shouldn't be concerned with the balance right now, just content. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 19:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sign in Kenmore

For a few months (back in 2006 IIRC), there was a sign on westbound Comm Ave around Deerfield St., saying "Begin US 20. xxx Oregon, yyy miles." "20" was on the usual shield, but the sign was green-and-white instead of black-and-white. Anyone else see this, have a photo, or have an idea who might have placed it? --Jnik 17:49, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On December 8, 2016, state officials in Boston and Newport placed matching signs at their respective ends of US-20; can folks get pictures of them for this article? https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/12/07/road-trip-road-that-begins-boston-goes-all-way-oregon-and-new-sign-will-point-way/IKhh3oeYiF3GyhJRGRI2GJ/story.html MarkHB (talk) 16:18, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What's with the Eastern and Western sections?

The article has two sections that divide the highway into an 'Eastern' and 'Western' section, but doesn't discuss this. It seems a fairly arbitrary division. Isn't dividing by state enough? MikZ (talk) 21:35, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

US 20 travels through Yellowstone National Park, but no U.S. highways are signed within the park. Charlotte Allison (Morriswa) (talk) 22:02, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
