Ends at I-64[edit]

US 35 ends at I-64 officially as per documents submitted by WVDOH and approved by AASHTO. See http://cms.transportation.org/sites/route/docs/AR-M550U_20080827_114716.pdf for documentation.

Proposed merge with U.S. Route 35 in Ohio[edit]

The entire length of US 35 is 417 miles. I would rather we have one really good article about the whole of US 35 than have potentially four not-so-great articles. –Fredddie ™ 03:51, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to point out that the "three-state rule" has never been a guarantee that if a US or Interstate Highway entered three or more states that we'd always create separate articles. When you look at the mileages involved, this highway exists in two "states". (If you count WV and OH together, they're roughly the same length as IN.) The overall highway length isn't so long that you couldn't craft a well-written RD on the full highway at the appropriate level of detail without getting too long overall. The same would apply to the history, and if you look at U.S. Route 8, you can craft a well-written multi-state history for an older highway without concerns about length. A single RJL table for this highway is also not unwieldy, so the only argument I see to justify splitting Ohio's section into a separate argument is an over reliance on the "three-state rule", which as I said, is not a guarantee.

I support merging the state-specific articles here. Power~enwiki (talk) 04:34, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have no huge objection to merging. I had thought that the state-specific article was being updated, while the parent's Ohio sections remained static, at best. (This is why I so dislike children and detailed parent articles simultaneously existing throughout WP.) I do question, though: Since Ohio signs US 35 as west-to-east, placing the state into south-north ordering for consistency would seem to make following Ohio's DESTAPE route logs and straightline diagrams all that much more confusing. How does the rest of USRD handle multi-state routes where the signing changes state-to-state?

Plus, I was beginning to add prose and do some copyediting in the Ohio article. How much comparison has already been done between the Ohio article and the parent article's Route description sections and major intersections sections?

@Chaswmsday: previously, the main US 35's Ohio section was longer than the Ohio article, so I really didn't copy anything over. But since you've been working on it, the new work would need to be copied over. As for the junction list, I already took care of that. DESTAPE has a column with cumulative length in the state, so it was fairly easy to fill out the mileposts. –Fredddie ™ 05:09, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Chaswmsday: see U.S. Route 491 for another example where one state is "backwards". Imzadi 1979 → 05:14, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also U.S. Route 275. –Fredddie ™ 05:16, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge I don't see much problems, and if the Indiana section is as long as the Ohio section and doesn't have its own page, the Ohio page should be merged. ActivBowser9177 (talk) 22:50, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Exit numbers in Ohio[edit]

Copied from Talk:U.S. Route 35 in Ohio:

On 28 November 2016, exit numbers were added, then removed from this page, with the comment "either the exits are unnumbered, or they are numbered". In the case of Ohio, roadgeeks previously seemed to have the impression that the state didn't number non-Interstate interchanges. Per sourcing for Ohio at Exit numbers in the United States and other online commentary, it seems that Ohio does in fact number such interchanges, but in a piece-meal manner: they only do so in conjunction with reconstruction/rehabilitation/signage projects. Specific to the ODOT District 8 portion of US 35 is this signage project document. I haven't as yet found a simple link to the underlying PDF file, nor have I found a simple documentation listing exit numbers for all Ohio interchanges. --Chaswmsday (talk) 09:20, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
