- History
"US 50, part of the original U.S. Highway system, was a major east–west route because 50 ends in 0." Please explain the signifigance of this fact to readers who do not realize that numbered highways follow a pattern of east-west even, north-south odd. This is stated a little too matter-of-factly for the uninformed reader to grasp this concept. Also, "was" implies US 50 does not exist anymore. A better statement would be "Before the creation of the interstate highway system, US 50 was a major east-west route. Numbered highways in the United States follow a pattern of odd numbers for north-south routes and even numbers for east-west routes, hence the designation of "50" for this route." or something to that effect.
