Highway 364 (AR 364, Hwy. 364) is an east–west state highway in Cross County, Arkansas. The highway connects a series of rural communities and farmland to the principal north-south highways in Cross County. Highway 364 is maintained by the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT). A former designation, also in Cross County, connected Togo to the state highway system between 1973 and 1983.
Route description
Highway 364 serves an area of rural Cross County, part of the Arkansas Delta region dominated by flat fields used for row agriculture.[4] No segment of Highway 364 has been listed as part of the National Highway System,[3] a network of roads important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[5]
Highway 364 begins at the unincorporated community of Tilton at US Highway 49 (US 49) in a rural area of western Cross County. It runs due east before turning north and serving as the southern terminus of Highway 259. Highway 364 turns east at this intersection, becoming a section line road. Running east, the highway passes through farmland, has a junction with Highway 193, and bridges the L'Anguille River before curving toward Vanndale. A former county seat of Cross County, Vanndale is now a small unincorporated community. Highway 364 intersects Highway 1 and Highway 1 Business. Highway 364 and forms a concurrency with the latter toward the historic center of Vanndale. The two routes turn north near the Vanndale post office, and Highway 364 turns right shortly thereafter, ending the concurrency. East of Vanndale, Highway 364 enters Crowley's Ridge, a series of forested loess hills rising from the lower Delta.[4] Now a winding route with more homes along the shoulders, Highway 364 passes through Pleasant Hill before intersecting Highway 163, where it terminates.[6][2]
The ArDOT maintains Highway 364 like all other parts of the state highway system. As a part of these responsibilities, the Department tracks the volume of traffic using its roads in surveys using a metric called average annual daily traffic (AADT). ARDOT estimates the traffic level for a segment of roadway for any average day of the year in these surveys. As of 2019, AADT was estimated as 160 vehicles per day (VPD) near the western terminus, and 370 VPD near the eastern terminus. The highest AADT was 730 VPD at Vanndale while concurrent with Highway 1B.[7] For reference, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), classifies roads with fewer than 400 vehicles per day as a very low volume local road.[8]

History
Highway 364 was created by the Arkansas State Highway Commission on April 27, 1971. The designation initially started at Highway 39[a 1] and ran east to Highway 1 at Vanndale.[1] In 1973, the Arkansas General Assembly passed Act 9 of 1973. The act directed county judges and legislators to designate up to 12 miles (19 km) of county roads as state highways in each county.[11] The highway was extended east to Highway 163 on April 25, 1973 as part of the Act 9 system expansion.[12]

The designation was created along a former county road as part of a state highway system expansion the Arkansas General Assembly passed (Act 9 of 1973).[12] It was deleted on June 30, 1983 at the request of the Cross County Judge in exchange for an extension of Highway 163 to Wittsburg.[13]
