I think Hwy 29Y no longer exists, and was given to the city when Hwy 102 was moved to bypass Forest Grove. --NE2 01:34, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's gone per [1]. --NE2 19:36, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hwy 371 (Powell Butte Highway) no longer exists: [2] --NE2 22:56, 28 September 2007 (UTC) [3] looks interesting. --NE2 23:41, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The separate OR 99 through Canyonville is not in the table; I need to figure out if it still exists, and if so add it. --NE2 00:57, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also not included are US 20B (Toledo) and US 20B (Bend). --NE2 01:31, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Otter Rock Highway may be gone. --NE2 09:50, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Added in 1933

48 John Day-Burns Highway: OR 11 from John Day to Burns
49 Lakeview-Burns Highway: OR 11 from Valley Falls to Riley

There was a pattern to the initial assignment of routes. Even routes ran east-west, odd routes ran north-south, and every other number was used.

West of US 99, north to south: 10 14 18 22 26 (US 30) 34 38 42 46
East of US 99, north to south: 50 54 58 62 66 70
Near OR 11, north to south: 74 78
Far eastern Oregon, north to south: 82 86 90
East to west: 3 7 11 15 19 23 27 31 35 39 47 51

The only gap is OR 43, which does fit in its present location. Maybe this was OR 43 at first, rather than the strange piece of US 99 shown in 1935. There is also no OR 2 or OR 6.

Other early routes were added in-sequence:

OR 2, 1939
OR 6, 1942
OR 8, 1936
OR 32 was not in-sequence (1945)
OR 36, 1936
OR 52 was not in-sequence (1950)
OR 52 was renumbered from OR 90 to match ID 52 (1952)
OR 37 was not in-sequence (1976)
OR 53, 1939

OR 99 and OR 126 were former U.S. Routes, OR 138 is a spur of OR 38, and OR 140 (1966) matches NV 140, which seems to have been renumbered at the same time. --NE2 03:47, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up this page

There are some issues on this page that I am going to clean up. There are some missing highways, incorrect entries, and incorrect nomenclature. Missing highways include former 111 Apiary Hwy outside of Rainier. Incorrect entries include OR138 North Umpqua being Hwy 138. Hwy 138 would be in Marion County. There is no OR223S. This would infer a southern route as is the case for OR42S. OR223S should be refered to as OR223Y since it is a spur and this is the state's nomenclature. Please discuss any of my edits before you assume graffiti and revert it. Thanks, Bdag (talk) 15:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, scratch some of my prior comments. I hadn't realized that the state monkeys messed up the system even further by numbering a Douglas county Highway as a Marion County one. And yes I got highways and routes confused when I wrote OR223Y, but the nomenclature of 223S (for spur) can easily be confused with 42S (for southern route). Can we change how spurs are written here?

Extra Highways

Does anybody know what the deal is with these extra highways? I haven't been able to find if they are/were state highways or merely county highways:

Shaw Highway, Marion County St. Paul Highway, Marion County Mt. Angel Highway, Marion County (old Hill-Sil?) Wilco Highway, Marion County (seems to be the portion of Hill-Sil from Woodburn to Mt. Angel) Delta Highway, Lane County Lorane Highway, Lane County (seems to share some routing with old Fox Hollow Highway and Terrtorial Highway) Brownsboro Highway, Jackson County (based on old maps this is an old alignment of Lake of the Woods from Brownsboro to Eagle Point, but no idea whether it was retired to the county or retained by the state.) Butte Falls Highway, Jackson County (AKA Butte Falls-Prospect Rd between those two towns. Possibly an initial routing of Crater Lake Highway? Same conundrum as Brownsboro Hwy) Bdag (talk) 20:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of List of former named state highways in Oregon into List of named state highways in Oregon

These individual listings could easily be added to the table, and a few are in the table already. Imzadi 1979 → 03:10, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
