Business routes of Interstate 10
Encyclopedia
Interstate business routes are roads connecting a central or commercial district of a city or town with an Interstate bypass. These roads typically follow along local streets often along a former U.S. route
or state highway
that had been replaced by an Interstate. Interstate business routes are signed as either loops
or spurs
using a green shield
shaped and numbered like the shield of the parent Interstate highway.
Some states regard Interstate business routes as fully integrated within their state highway system while other states consider them to be either local roads to be maintained by county or municipal authorities or a hybrid of state and local control.
Although the public generally differentiates between different business routes by the number of the parent route and the location of the route, there is no uniform naming convention. Each state highway department internally uses its own designations to identify segments within its jurisdiction.
Along Interstate 10
, business routes are found in the four westernmost states through which I-10 passes: California
, Arizona
, New Mexico
, and the far western region of Texas
beyond the Pecos River
. Although I-10 is a transcontinental highway, none of the states to the east along the Interstate have yet to designate I-10 business routes.
, but are usually relinquished back to local jurisdiction for maintenance. Along Interstate 10
, business routes are signed and maintained by municipal authorities where they do not overlay state highways, and are not officially a part of the state highway system. The business loop in Blythe
is the only one that remains sufficiently well signed for navigation. Although the other former routes along I-10 may have some remnant shields remaining, these loops are not signed from I-10 nor sufficiently signed for motorists to be able to find their way along their routes.
