[edit] U.S. Routes in National Parks

I don't think Trail Ridge Road is technically U.S. 34 through the park; I was under the impression that U.S. Routes don't exist in National Parks. —Rob (talk) 19:13, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

National Parks vary in this regard. US-34 signage does exist in Rocky Mountain National Park. On the other hand, I believe the US highway designations disappear in Yellowstone National Park, among others.

When I drove the Trail Ridge Road in 2004, I saw no markers of US 34 at all on it, but I did see a sign designating directions of US 34 and US 36 where the terminus of US 36 is (in the park) --• master_son^{Lets talk} 13:30, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge of Red Bull Highway (Iowa)

A proposal was made to merge the Red Bull Highway (Iowa) article into the Interstate 35 article. Since the designation in Iowa applies to US 34, I feel the merger correctly should be to here.

The article in question is a stub mentioning that the 34th Infantry is the Red Bull Division and explaining that as the honoree of the named highway. —C.Fred (talk) 17:52, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

It's probably better to create a detail page (U.S. Route 34 in Iowa) and redirect to that. —Rob (talk) 22:16, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I've lived in Southwest Iowa all my life, and have never heard anyone or seen anything calling it the 'red bull highway'. --24.252.10.228 07:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Toll Road thru Rocky Mountain National Park?

I realize you have to pay the National Park Service if you go to a National Park, but I'm not sure that Trail Ridge Road qualifies as a toll road, at least in the traditional sense, because you can make multiple visits within a given time frame. DandyDan2007 10:35, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
