List Of State Highways In South Dakota
South Dakota's state highways were assigned in a numbering pattern that followed that of the U.S. Highways followed upon their inception. East–west highways carried even numbers and increased from North to South – while north–south highways carried odd numbers and increased from east to west. This holds true only for two-digit highways. Three-digit highways follow the odd–even routing, but do not sequentially remain near a "parent" route as a spur or alternate route, instead being more independent of any parent two-digit route.

Concurrency (road)
A concurrency in a road network is an instance of one physical roadway bearing two or more different route numbers. When two roadways share the same right-of-way, it is sometimes called a common section or commons. Other terminology for a concurrency includes overlap, coincidence, duplex (two concurrent routes), triplex (three concurrent routes), multiplex (any number of concurrent routes), dual routing or triple routing. Concurrent numbering can become very common in jurisdictions that allow it. Where multiple routes must pass between a single mountain crossing or over a bridge, or through a major city, it is often economically and practically advantageous for them all to be accommodated on a single physical roadway. In some jurisdictions, however, concurrent numbering is avoided by posting only one route number on highway signs; these routes disappear at the start of the concurrency and reappear when it ends. However, any route that becomes unsigned in the middle of the concurren ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
