The code also defines the Utah maintained portions of Interstate and U.S. Highways. With the exception of state route numbers assigned to match U.S. Highways and Interstate Highways, Utah state route numbers are not designated per any consistent pattern, though there are a few regional clusters of sequentially numbered highways. There have been multiple changes to the numbering of state routes. Sin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
