Downtown Memphis Graphic

[edit]

I was just in Memphis and the signage for US64/70/79 differs from the map graphic. According to the signage, 64/70/79 follow TN 3 all the way to TN 14, then go south and not TN 1/TN 4

Error regarding MS 5 concurrency on US-72 - Major Intersections

[edit]

Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_Highway_5 Mississippi State Highway 5 terminates at US-72 in Benton County, Mississippi. Major Intersections shows a short concurrency, and then the route continuing north. However, the route was truncated in 1943. There is no signage on US-72 to indicate that MS-5 goes anywhere beyond that eastern junction in Benton County. If someone can find any additional verification for this, and please correct the table. Editing tables is beyond my capabilities. Thanks! 504roadtrips (talk) 15:11, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
