Improper "end" sign?

[edit]

The article states: "The Utah department of transportation has placed an end sign at the junction of US-40 in Heber City. However this is in error...". First, if you know about this, has UDOT been notified? Most state DOTs are pretty responsive about incorrect signs. Second, is that really encyclopedic content, or is it trivia? --Bwagstaff 17:15, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if its encyclopedic, but the end sign has been there for years and has caused quite a stir among roadgeeks. I included that sentence, and thought it was mild in comparison to some road geek sites. If you don't think its appropriate reword or remove it. Davemeistermoab 17:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's trivia personally. Including every instance of where the wrong shield or directional banner is used would be, but I think if a road's terminus is errantly signed, especially in this case where it is in no way correct, then it can be mentioned. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 18:13, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's not just the sign but when UDOT considers to be the end. --NE2 21:02, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

US 530?

[edit]

There is an image of US 530 with a caption, but no mention in the article itself about this former highway. Can someone expand on this? --LJ (talk) 21:44, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, I screwed that up. Basically, looking at today's map. I-80 through Utah follows the old US-40 from the Nevada line to the modern terminus of US 40. I-80 followed the old US-30S from the modern junction of I-84 and the Wyoming line. Between those two points I-80 was built along the route of a short spur route initially numbered US-530, but later renumbered as part of US-189. I goofed on that one. I'll get to this, or if you want to take a stab, feel free to mop up my mess =-)Dave (talk) 22:02, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reassessment

[edit]

Reassessed to C due to insufficient referencing in the "History" section. —Scott5114 [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 07:54, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
