Route eliminations

Below is a listing of those US routes which I would eliminate entirely, including a rationale behind each elimination:

- In keeping with my suggested policy on eliminating the ALTERNATE banner, the following ALT US 1 segments would be eliminated.  The rationale for eliminating these segments is because they are not part of NHS and do not serve as a logical U.S. route or NHS connector:

 

- In keeping with my suggested policy on eliminating the ALTERNATE banner, the following ALT US 2 segments would be eliminated.  The rationale for eliminating these segments is because they are not part of NHS and do not serve as a logical U.S. route or NHS connector:

 

- This route takes a somewhat convoluted path from Nortonville, KS to near Oregon, MO.  Except possibly as a route for US 59 traffic to avoid St. Joseph, MO, this route serves no real purpose, and even this possible purpose is negated by the fact that US 59 is of secondary importance north of St. Joseph.  This route could easily be eliminated.  The segment duplexed with US 73 would revert to just US 73.  The non-duplexed segment in Kansas could become a KS 4 extension, while the non-duplexed segment in Nebraska could become a NE 8 extension and the Missouri segment becomes part of MO 48.
