[edit] "NC-4" ?

Is Charlotte Route 4 ever designated as "NC-4"? The NC 4 (disambiguation) page says so (or at least it used to), but this page makes no mention of any such designation. Thanks... Rocinante9 18:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Source help

Well, apparently most of my sources for Charlotte 4 have died. NC Roads no longer exists and apparently the NC Roads Annex forgot to pick up Routes 1-5, so that doesn't help the situation. All I have to show that the route exists are many maps and pictures of the route signs. The info in this article is essentially accurate, as NCRoads did the proper research, which is now lost to us. So, if anyone can find any good sources for Charlotte Loop Route 4, post 'em. --TinMan 18:34, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shield

Here's a photo; it looks like the shield could use a bit of improvement. --NE2 22:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
