[edit] List purpose
This list should be for Tennessee State Routes only. This is not a list of roads in Tennessee, but a list of Tennessee state highways. I propose to reduce this page to just those roads currently listed under "Numbered roads" and "State routes" and to rename them "Tennessee State Route XX." Similar pages are List of Alabama state highways and List of Mississippi state highways. -- Fingers-of-Pyrex 02:00, 2005 May 6 (UTC)
- But there are only a few highways in Tennessee actually classified as State Routes. SR840 and SR374 are the only ones I can think of in that category, and the rest on the list are State Highways, not obscure roads. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:19, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Alternate routes
Tennessee has long tried to reduce the number of "Alternates", even though it never had a lot of them compared to some states. However, there are at least two of these that are still reflected on maps, 22-A and 69-A. Additionally, a portion of SR 48 through downtown Dickson is still marked as "48 Alternate", this apparently dating back to when some downtown streets there were one way and two separate streets were required for north and southbound traffic. As it currently stands, they are not part of the list. Should they be put in immediately following 22 and 69, or should we assume that they will be abolished shortly and replaced with a new, triple-digit number similar to the former 50-A becoming SR 373?

- My opinion is they should not listed separately; but the alternate and bypass sections should be mentioned in the article. See Tennessee State Route 22. — Fingers-of-Pyrex 01:45, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- As a side note, U.S. Highway 41 that runs through Clarksville is listed as 41-A whereas 41 runs through Springfield, but even that is mentioned in its article and not made separate. -- Riffsyphon1024 17:37, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tennessee State Routes Project
Why don't we try and start an official highways project for Tennessee? Personally, I would enjoy researching this topic and reporting back about it. That, and if any first-hand research is needed, I'm always up for a road trip!
- Sure, but take the inquiry to WT:USRD. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 23:39, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:State route naming conventions poll/Part2
This state's highway naming convention is up for debate above. Feel free to participate. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 05:51, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tennessee state route svg shields
Svg shields are now available for Tennessee state routes, you can find those that have already been created at Category:Tennessee State Route shields on the commons. If you can't find the one you are looking for, feel free to request it on my talk page or at the shield project page: WP:USRD/S/R. --Holderca1 17:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- It should be noted by anyone requesting a shield that the TDOT county maps differentiate between primary and secondary portions. --NE2 21:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page Redirects
Some existing pages may not have redirecting pages from the old naming system - State Route XX (Tennessee) to the current format. Many pages use the old naming for links. Afton 18:46, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- There is a handy list at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Redirects/Tennessee for finding these redirects that need to be created. I just created the three missing ones. --NE2 20:01, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
