This state's highway naming convention is up for debate above. Feel free to participate. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 05:39, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Note: Arkansas' naming convention at WP:USSH (and preferred in the above poll) is Arkansas Highway #, NOT "Highway # (Arkansas)" as one user keeps trying to change it to. Please respect the official naming convention! --RBBrittain 04:09, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Edit: However, due to prior use of "Highway # (Arkansas)" and "Arkansas State Highway #" as conventions, those should be continue to be created as redirects to the proper "Arkansas Highway #" articles. --RBBrittain 04:26, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
State highway 301
editArkansas state highway 301 is mentioned in Kimberly, Arkansas. Can anybody add some information about it here please? Biscuittin (talk) 13:12, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
This could be a problem
editThis information has just been gleaned upon me. Arkansas technically has extremely few concurrencies. It has thousands of "sections". Basically whenever two highways meet, the more important one stays continuous, and the lesser route breaks into two sections, one on either side of the route. They never concur unless it is an official exception. This means that basically all of Arkansas' highway pages are inaccurate. Also, this is the case with every route in Arkansas (including U.S. Routes AND Interstates except I-30 which is top dog). What can be done about this? Also, this information is from the book: AHTD Annual Average Daily Traffic Estimate by County, April 2010. Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 23:28, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- Since there are no concurrencies, how should mileages be displayed? Should the "implicit" mileage be included even though it is technically not really part of the route? Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 16:13, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- It could be handled like CA does postmarkers. Just put a hat note in the RJL that says "mile markers reset at concurrences if needed and just list the mileage as is. --Admrboltz (talk) 19:50, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Spur section
editI took the liberty of making a state highway spur section. This is for short connector roads that run from a city/park/etc to a major route. This should eliminate the number of stubs, because these spurs are destined to be stubs forever. Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 20:59, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Route Shields
editThe caption under the photo of the Highway 265 route shields is incorrect: the shield on the left is from an independent sign contractor, and often appears along or near expressways and Interstates. The shield on the right is a standard issue AHTD shield. US 71 (talk) 15:00, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
Historic Shields
editGood job on the historic shields! US 71 (talk) 20:36, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Finishing the list
editHello fellow Roadgeeks!
I've been working on completing the list of all of the Arkansas highways over the past couple of days. Lots of highways are missing, and I've been filling the gaps since I've been wanting to know where all of the highways are located, and I'm sure some others want to know as well. Lots of highways in the list don't have wikipedia pages either, and I've mostly been using Google Maps and verifying them with Google Street View along with just looking up online to see if I can find some external information as to where the highways are located. I've been using Google Maps to measure the distance of the highways, which is accurate to within 1/10th of a mile. I'm still working on adding more to the page, and it's gonna be a while before it's completely filled in.
I added this section to the talk page because I kept forgetting to write a summary as to what I've changed when it comes to editing this Wikipedia article, and the edits are pretty huge, and I didn't want anybody to be suspicious as to what I was doing.
I know absolutely nothing about the history of Arkansas's highways (i.e. when they were signed, etc.), so someone else will have to fill in the information instead.
Take care everybody!
