[edit] Obvious question #1
Is it Wisconsin State Highway 10 or Wisconsin Highway 10? :-) —Rob (talk) 19:33, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- Neither. It's US-10. Or in verbose form, "U.S. Highway 10." If, however, your question was regarding the standard naming convention for Wisconsin's state trunk highways and, more specifically, the non-U.S. Highways and non-Interstate Highways, that would officially by "State Trunk Highway xx", as in "State Trunk Highway 11." Obviously, the verbose form is almost never used and you generally see the common abbreviated form, "STH-11." In common speech, however, Wisconsinites say "Highway 11" for STH-11, but then again, they also say "Highway 41" for US-41, "Highway C" for (County Trunk Highway) CTH-C, and sometimes even "Highway 94" for I-94. See the Wisconsin Highways website and the "STH"..."CTH"..."Highway"? Help! page as well. CBessert 01:52, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] All-time list
(not necessarily for the article, just a way to keep track - as always info is from Wisconsin Highways)
- If you can handle waiting just a little longer, I'm working on finishing my own Wisconsin Highways Master List 1917-Present, similar to the one on my Michigan site [3]. — CBessert 02:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

- Eh, I just find it fun to do stuff like this, and it's probably good to coordinate the links for the former routes. I've made a complete one for U.S. Highways. --SPUI (T - C) 02:40, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interstate 57?
I'm lost... when was I-57 supposed to route north into Wisconsin? jwhouk 07:53, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- In the 1950s. It was the route number proposed for the Milwaukee-to-Green Bay Interstate that was eventually rejected by the federal government. I-57 would've run concurrently with I-94 between downtown Chicago and downtown Milwaukee. CBessert 01:16, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
