[1] [2] [3] and 1930 Penndot map
[4] helps
This is the name given to 7xxx routes. Any idea what they are? Apparently they are used for toll roads - like most of the Turnpike is 7076 - but the only source for that is pahighways.com - nothing on PennDOT's site.
Eh? There's a SR 9012 at Breezewood. -- SPUI ( T - C) 21:05, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
I find "A different number can also be used to avoid conflicts between different types.", followed by mention of I-380 and PA 380 (the latter is official SR 400). There is also I-283 and PA 283 (the latter is official SR 300). A list of these would be short, right? I have questions about 3 other cases, one of which no longer exists at this writing:
PA 17 coming off US 11/15 (Perry County), and the PA 17 which became part of I-86.
US 422 exists in 2 pieces in Pennsylvania.
PA 29 exists in 2 pieces in Pennsylvania. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.52.3 ( talk) 18:36, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
I've noticed that a large number of PA road articles reference URLs beginning with ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/
These are all now broken due to the state getting rid of its FTP. Some have been replaced with archive copies, but current URLs can generally be fixed by simply changing to http://www.dot.state.pa.us/
Is there an efficient way to batch replace these links? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atds89 ( talk • contribs) 04:22, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Much of this article, and a whole bunch of individual PA route articles, use an old PennDOT document as a reference for route lengths. See the current footnote #10 in this article. It looks like that PennDOT source has disappeared and a Wikipedia bot has modified the reference code to point to an irrelevant (for us) new site on construction diagrams. I can find no official current document in the sites for PennDOT or the PA government that offers information on particular route lengths, which in turn could be used to fix these now broken references. Can anyone think of any document that could be used? --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 21:58, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
Isn't this route unsigned? Should the note be updated to reflect it? Dnrothx ( talk) 03:14, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
There are several entries in this list claiming a former route number that "clearly existed" via circumstantial evidence. See e.g PA 556 and PA 583 among others. I don't find this very convincing and recommend that such entries be removed, unless someone can come up with true evidence that those routes really existed and were signed as such. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 18:12, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
@ Cards84664:, @ Dough4872: -- As longtime contributors to this article, please offer an opinion on the above topic if you're so inclined. Thanks. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 21:11, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Thanks everyone. I will remove the "clearly existed" entries sometime in the next couple of days. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 15:15, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

The Morgantown Expressway spur (between PA 10/23 and I-176) is numbered Berks County QR 2089. I propose we remove this road. https://gis.penndot.gov/BPR_PDF_FILES/Maps/GHS/ROADNAMES/Berks_GHSN.pdf Jmpenzone ( talk) 01:43, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
Pennsylvania Route 9 was the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike from 1955-1996, now Interstate 476. Bill S. ( talk) 12:40, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
