Things to verify

  1. This is the most curvy road in the US (Coronado Trail). http://www.nationalgeographic.com/traveler/deals/coronado.html?fs=plasma.nationalgeographic.com
  2. The Coronado trail passes a place that lightnings hit the most in the world.

Image

I put the image near the bottom left to avoid "image stacking." But if anyone finds a more pleasing-to-look-at place for it, be my guest to put it there. --Marriedtofilm 03:49, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This Article needs Help

As I read the article in its present state, It has major POV issues. Some of these POV edits are mine, but I think the article is out of control now. If nobody objects I'll fire up the pruning machine over the next few days and try to clean up a bit. Davemeistermoab 05:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Map

The article has the route going to the Canadian border, but the map shown does not. DandyDan2007 21:30, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, on the map, the route of US-191 ends hundreds of miles away from the Canadian border, and it is astonishing that in over 1 1/2 years, nobody has corrected this map. I would, but I don't know how, and I am not going to learn how to now. I have too many other things to do, such as helping to plan the next satellite communications network.98.67.171.39 (talk) 17:58, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have one question. If U.S. 191 is supposed to be a child route to U.S. 91, then why is Route 191 longer? I'm curious to know. 140.198.165.54 (talk) 17:45, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's the numbering convention, explained here United_States_Numbered_Highway_System#Numbering, although admittedly it's a bit difficult to follow as the first paragraph drifts into a few tangents. In a nutshell the primary routes are two digits, 3-digit routs are branches of the 2-digit routes. As for why US 191 is longer, it wasn't always this way, see U.S. Route 91.

Miles are confusing

The article says the sections are 1465 miles and 440 miles, but the length says 1623 miles on the infobox. 2603:6080:2D0C:8E86:C425:D706:22C2:7CEA (talk) 01:10, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Those figures do not add up. Keep in mind, today there is a distance measuring tool on Google Maps that makes this easy, however, that tool did not exist in 2005-6-7 when this article was first written. I'm kinda slammed right now, but I'll try to look into this later in the week. If you want to look into this, most states (but not all) have official lengths with figures accurate to 0.01 or 0.001 miles on the DOT's website. That's the first choice. AASHTO logs can help too, if you can find them. Last choice is Google Maps distance measuring tool, or the equivalent using your map of choice. Dave (talk) 01:27, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK Here's what I found
  • Southern Portion
    • Arizona 516.50 miles (source - ADOT logs from state article) (unfortunately this limits to 2 significant figures, the other states provide 3)
    • Utah 404.740 miles (source UDOT logs - same source as state article, but newer figure)
    • Wyoming is the tricky part. I found WyoDOT's logs, but it requires some math as they break it up
      • State line to Jct with US-89 163.634
      • Mileposts from jct US-89 to Yellowstone NP 141.310 - 158.820 = 17.51
    • Total Wyoming miles = 181.144
  • Total Southern Portion =1102.38
  • Montana (northern portion) 442.161 miles (source MDOT logs - from state article)
  • Total miles = 1544.54 miles

I'll update the article. Dave (talk) 05:09, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
