Talk:Arkansas Highway 70

Rationale for deletion

1. There is no Arkansas Highway 70 on AHTD state highway map or AHTD Scott County map.
2. Any reference to "Highway 70" in Arkansas means US 70, which crosses the state east-to-west. With limited exceptions (US 59 exists only as concurrencies in Arkansas so AR 59 also exists, AR 440 continues I-440 past its official end, AR 530 is a future extension of I-530), AHTD does not duplicate AASHTO numbers (Interstate or U.S.) on its state highways.
3. Since US 70 has been in Arkansas ever since the U.S. system was created in 1926 [1] (and Arkansas' present numbering system also began then), there is no historical AR 70, unlike AR 2 (now US 82), AR 3 (now mostly US 79), or AR 6 (original version now US 270, later version now US 49).
4. Per the above maps, the only AHTD-maintained highway (state or otherwise) that comes within 10 miles of the Oklahoma border in Scott County is AR 28, which becomes OK 128 (not 158) at the Oklahoma border, and extends east of US 71.
5. AR 158, one of the alleged termini, only exists in eastern Arkansas; Scott County is in western Arkansas. The only highway in this article that actually exists in Scott County is US 71.
