On page 6 a short statement to the effect that there are no deficiencies on proposed routing, if true, will suffice. If there are deficiencies, they should be indicated in accordance with page 5 instructions.

3 The purpose of the United States (U.S.) Numbered Highway System is to facilitate travel on the main interstate highways, over the shortest routes and the best available roads. A route should form continuity of available facilities through two or more states that accommodate the most important and heaviest motor traffic flow in the area. The routes comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways will be marked with its own distinctive route marker shield and will have a numbering system that is separate and apart from the U.S. Numbered Highway System. For the convenience of the motorist, there must be continuity and a uniform pattern of marking and numbering these Interstate routes without regard to state lines. The U.S. Numbered System was established in 1926 and the Interstate Numbered System was established in Both have reached the period of review, revision, and consolidation. They now need perfecting rather than expansion. Therefore, any proposed alteration in the established systems should be extremely meritorious and thoroughly, though concisely, explained in order that the Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering and the Standing Committee on Highways of the Association may give prompt and proper consideration to each and every request made by a member department. Explanation and Reasons for the Request: (Keep concise and pertinent.) Date facility available to traffic Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing U.S. Route? Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing Interstate Route? If so, where? If so, where? 2

(Indicate termini and control points on the map for the route, and number them in sequence. Use the same numbers in column 1 tabulation, page 6, when listing mileage. Towns, cities, major highway intersections and state lines to be used as control points. The top of column 1, page 6, will be one terminus, and column 1 will give the log of the route as needed to describe the route in the Association publication U.S. Numbered Highways if the application is approved by the Standing Committee on Highways.) 3

35 The purpose of the United States (U.S.) Numbered Highway System is to facilitate travel on the main interstate highways, over the shortest routes and the best available roads. A route should form continuity of available facilities through two or more states that accommodate the most important and heaviest motor traffic flow in the area. The routes comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways will be marked with its own distinctive route marker shield and will have a numbering system that is separate and apart from the U.S. Numbered Highway System. For the convenience of the motorist, there must be continuity and a uniform pattern of marking and numbering these Interstate routes without regard to state lines. The U.S. Numbered System was established in 1926 and the Interstate Numbered System was established in Both have reached the period of review, revision, and consolidation. They now need perfecting rather than expansion. Therefore, any proposed alteration in the established systems should be extremely meritorious and thoroughly, though concisely, explained in order that the Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering and the Standing Committee on Highways of the Association may give prompt and proper consideration to each and every request made by a member department. Explanation and Reasons for the Request: (Keep concise and pertinent.) The Arkansas Department of Transportation has constructed a new location facility that bypasses the City of Gillett, Arkansas. This roadway segment is designated as U.S. Highway 165. This request is to relocate U.S. Highway 165 to this new location. A separate application is being submitted to redesignate the bypassed portion of U.S. Highway 165 as U.S. Highway 165 Business.

71 The purpose of the United States (U.S.) Numbered Highway System is to facilitate travel on the main interstate highways, over the shortest routes and the best available roads. A route should form continuity of available facilities through two or more states that accommodate the most important and heaviest motor traffic flow in the area. The routes comprising the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways will be marked with its own distinctive route marker shield and will have a numbering system that is separate and apart from the U.S. Numbered Highway System. For the convenience of the motorist, there must be continuity and a uniform pattern of marking and numbering these Interstate routes without regard to state lines. The U.S. Numbered System was established in 1926 and the Interstate Numbered System was established in Both have reached the period of review, revision, and consolidation. They now need perfecting rather than expansion. Therefore, any proposed alteration in the established systems should be extremely meritorious and thoroughly, though concisely, explained in order that the Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering and the Standing Committee on Highways of the Association may give prompt and proper consideration to each and every request made by a member department. Explanation and Reasons for the Request: (Keep concise and pertinent.) The Arkansas Department of Transportation has constructed a new location facility that bypasses the City of Thornton, Arkansas. This roadway segment is designated as U.S. Highway 167. A separate request has been submitted to relocate U.S. Highway 167 to this new location. It is requested that U.S. Highway 167, through the City of Thornton, Arkansas, be redesignated as U.S Highway 167 Business. Date facility available to traffic NA Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing U.S. Route? Yes If so, where? Through the City of Thornton, Arkansas Does the petition propose a new routing over a portion of an existing Interstate Route? No If so, where? 2
