[edit] Eastern terminus

Does 44A end at 3 or 3A? If it ends at 3A, does that mean 44 and 44A are overlapped between 3 and 3A? --Polaron | Talk 16:37, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I fixed that. But there's a more serious problem - do we know that it exists? See this from January. --SPUI (T - C) 19:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

It's not listed as a numbered route in the MassGIS roads data layer as of April 2006. Maybe it was indeed turned over to town maintenance. --Polaron | Talk 22:22, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Note that state maintenance and numbering are completely orthogonal in Massachusetts and Rhode Island; there are many locally maintained numbered routes and many state maintained unnumbered roads. In particular, old US 44 was not state maintained.[1][2] --SPUI (T - C) 22:33, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Not signed as 44A on 3 according to this (supposedly updated as of March 2006). Even if it is still state maintained, it does appear it is no longer numbered. --Polaron | Talk 22:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

It was never state maintained, at least not recently. I think we should redirect to US 44 and just say there that the old route has no number. --SPUI (T - C) 23:08, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
