The following is a list of numbered state highways in the U.S. state of Arkansas. The state does not use a numbering convention. Generally the two-digit odd numbered highways run north-south with a few exceptions; and even-numbered two-digit state highways run east-west with a few exceptions.

Arkansas has long had a stigma of poor roads. The state has received the designation of "worst roads in America" from several publications.[1] Interstate 30 and Interstate 40 had historically drawn the most ire from truckers nationwide until a large construction plan was completed on I-40.[2] The rationale for this is rooted deep in Arkansas history, primarily sprouting from the state's insistence on using "road districts" rather than a state highway commission, and a lack of comprehensive state highway plan until the formation of the State Highway Commission in 1923.[3]

Shields

Arkansas highways are marked with a 24-by-24-inch (61 × 61 cm) shield if single-digit or two-digit, or a 24-by-36-inch (61 × 91 cm) shield if three-digit. The signs are black, with the black route number centered inside a white state of Arkansas outline. The signs use MUTCD Series D font for one-digit shields, and Series C for all other numbers. The exception is if the route number includes a "1", in which case the route is signed using MUTCD Series D font. Arkansas does not have any four-digit highways.

The state of Arkansas has some special shields, including an airplane-themed shield for Arkansas Highway 980, which is the designation for all state-maintained airport access roads. Another special shield is Highway 917, which is funded by marine fuel taxes.

Business routes and spur shields

For business routes and spurs, Arkansas uses the standard state highway shields with a small "B" for a business routes or a "S" for spur. The letter is raised up in an almost-exponential format. Single-digit bannered routes are printed on 24-by-24-inch (61 × 61 cm) shields, with two- and three-digit routes using the 24-by-36-inch (61 × 91 cm) dimensions. Some routes have directional components, and the N, E, S, or W are signed in the same manner.

Historic shields

Arkansas first established a state-wide state highway system in 1924. This system labeled its routes in a "letter-number number" system such as A-11. The roads were all designated as "State Road l-nn" prior to the creation of the U.S. Numbered Highway System. Upon creation of the Harrelson Road Law, the US Route system came to Arkansas and the system was renumbered. This system has generally remained in place, with the major addition of the Interstate Highway System in 1965. The original system had just over 100 routes, mostly dirt paths that became unpassable after rain. Arkansas began using the same pavement techniques used for Dollarway Road, which was the longest continuous concrete pavement in the United States when completed in 1913.

These routes were signed with white cut-out shapes of Arkansas, which said "State Road" in addition to the route number. In the 1950s, the Araknsas Highway Department removed the "State Road" and instead printed "ARKANSAS" on top of the shields, with a line underneath the state name. The shields were changed to the current format circa 1971.
