Tecnically, this isn't a highway, but an Ohio State "Route" or simply "Ohio Route". The "Highway" moniker in Ohio is usually reserved for ceremonial naming purposes. OnceBitten 19:23, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes it is, according to most DOTs, any numbered road can be considered a 'highway', perhaps you are thinking of 'freeway'?--UltraSkuzzi 21:04, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm a former ODOT employee - while other states may use "highway" frequently, in Ohio, its an "Ohio Route". Perhaps you should visit the Ohio Department of Transportation web site link to ODOT published maps [1]; I understand its not the best image, but if look to the right of the little "Interstate" sign, you'll see the official signs desiginating Ohio State Routes. Also, if you visit the interactive map on Ohio's macro corridor routes, you find that they track three types Interstates (IR - Interestate Route), US Routes (US) and State Routes (SR). Hope this clears up the confusion. Cheers OnceBitten 03:17, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

What I am saying is that the nomeclature used for wikipedia if (State's Name) State Highway xxx or all signed state routes. I understand this may be different for Ohio, but I'm just keeping with the form Wikipedia uses.--UltraSkuzzi 15:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Now I understand. But when you replied, you stated that any numbered road could be considered a highway, and while true, Ohio doesn't use that naming convention unless the road (or a portion thereof) is named as an honorarium ("Carl M. Stokes Memorial Highway", or the "State Trooper James M. Gross Memorial Highway", etc.) My point was one of clarity and semantics. OnceBitten 23:28, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Happy to report that the "highway"/"route" issue is being addressed at WP:SRNC. — Homefryes ^Say•_Do 11:04, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
