Wisconsin Highway 150
State Trunk Highway 150 (often called Highway 150, STH-150 or WIS 150) was a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It ran east–west between Winchester and Neenah. In 2003, the road was turned over to Winnebago County, which now maintains it as County Trunk Highway II (CTH-II). History Initially, in 1923, WIS 150 was formed to travel along modern-day CTH-II, CTH-O, and Main Street from WIS 95 (later US 110, then WIS 110, then US 45, now CTH-M) in Winchester to WIS 15 (later US 41) in Neenah. Later, part of the route near Neenah moved north off from CTH-O, following more part of modern-day CTH-II and Lake Street. After US 41 bypassed downtown Appleton, Neenah, and Menasha in 1938, a part of WIS 150 on Lake Street was rerouted westward onto US 41 (Green Bay Road). In 1959, US 41 between Neenah and US 10 (now WIS 96) was moved onto a new limited-access highway. In 1975, US 41 from WIS 110 in O ...

State Highway (US)
A state highway, state road, or state route (and the equivalent provincial highway, provincial road, or provincial route) is usually a road that is either ''numbered'' or ''maintained'' by a sub-national state or province. A road numbered by a state or province falls below numbered national highways (Canada being a notable exception to this rule) in the hierarchy (route numbers are used to aid navigation, and may or may not indicate ownership or maintenance). Roads maintained by a state or province include both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, "state highway" may be used for one meaning and "state road" or "state route" for the other. In some countries such as New Zealand, the word "state" is used in its sense of a sovereign state or country. By this meaning a state highway is a road maintained and numbered by the national government rather than local authorities. Countries Australia Australia's State Route system covers u ...
