[edit] New Section

Added a new section on unnumbered, state maintained roads. I included the two that I know about, there may be more. --Jayron32 13:04, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

[[State highways in New Hampshire]] should be merged into this article because this article is the official name of the higway system and the "State highways" is merely a statement using diffent data about the highway system. This should be a quick fix. --Assawyer 19:56, 8 June 2006 (UTC) I have begun the work to merge, if there are those who feel it is unwise contact me and we can discuss it. --Assawyer 00:24, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Merge is complete, "State highways in New Hampshire" has been fully intergrated and now redirects to this article. --Assawyer 22:09, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
