[edit] Junction list

Would US Route 9 @ U.S. Route 30 in Absecon, NJ be considered Major?

or vice versa?

• Probably not since it's close enough to the eastern terminus not to be listed and the junction list is quite extensive as it is. Also, I don't think it is as major as the other junctions (with interstates) listed. Usually junctions try to be spaced out evenly across the route so as not to list too many junctions in one specific region. It would certainly be more appropriate for the infobox in the US 30 article specific to New Jersey which is yet to be created: U.S. Route 30 in New Jersey Stratosphere (T/C) 05:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mount Vernon, IA

I believe that Mount Vernon, IA should be added to the list of places that Route 30 passes by. I went to school in Mt. Vernon IA and Route 30 could be seen from my dorm room. Also if you look at the entry for Mt. Vernon, IA it clearly states that "the town is located on the historic Lincoln Highway. U.S. Highway 30 and Iowa Highway 1 intersect in the southern part of town."

[edit] Child routes

U.S. Route 130 runs north-south in New Jersey, connecting Interstate 295/U.S. Route 40 at the east end of the Delaware Memorial Bridge at Deepwater with U.S. Route 1 near New Brunswick. US 130 crosses US 30 near Camden; it was originally designated in 1926 as a spur of US 30 from Camden to Trenton.

U.S. Route 230 branched off US 30 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and ran northwest to Harrisburg. It was decommissioned ca. 1966, and is now Route 230, paralleled by the Route 283 freeway. (Route 230 has actually been truncated, with the southeasternmost part being taken over by Route 283 and by realigned US 30 itself.)

U.S. Route 330 branched off at Geneva, Illinois, where US 30 ran along present Illinois 38 and Illinois 31, and ran east to Chicago. After several extensions on the west end, it became part of U.S. Route 30 Alternate ca. 1942 and Illinois 38 ca. 1971.

U.S. Route 430 ran from US 30 at Geneva, Illinois north to U.S. Route 12 near Richmond. Ca. 1934 it became Illinois 31.

U.S. Route 530 was a short spur from U.S. Route 30S at Echo, Utah southwest to U.S. Route 40 at Kimball Junction. Around 1938 it became part of U.S. Route 189, and has been upgraded to Interstate 80.

U.S. Route 630 was designated around 1927 as a replacement of U.S. Route 30N from US 30 at Fruitland, Idaho north and west to US 30 in Oregon. Around 1933 it became US 30N again.

U.S. Route 730 runs from Interstate 84 and US 30 west of Umatilla, Oregon northeast to U.S. Route 12 near Wallula, Washington. It was designated east of Umatilla in 1926, and was extended west ca. 1942 when US 30 was realigned onto its current alignment.

U.S. Route 830 ran across the Columbia River from US 30, from U.S. Route 101 at Johnson's Landing, Washington east to U.S. Route 97 at Maryhill, Washington; it never connected directly to US 30. Around 1968 it became State Route 4 and State Route 14.

The most prominent of the divisions was U.S. Route 30N and U.S. Route 30S between Burley, Idaho and Granger, Wyoming. This was eliminated ca. 1972 by routing US 30 along US 30N; US 30S had been upgraded as Interstate 84 and Interstate 80.

The other split designated in 1926 was a spur from Fruitland, Idaho north to Weiser, Idaho, designated as U.S. Route 30N and running across the Snake River from US 30. This was renumbered U.S. Route 630 ca. 1927, and at some point it was connected back to US 30 near Weiser via a new bridge across the Snake River. Ca. 1933 it was renumbered back to US 30N, which it kept until ca. 1980. A U.S. Route 30S was also designated in the area from ca. 1938 to 1940. -- JA10 Talk • Contribs 04:38, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
