U.S. Route 20 was previously a
U.S. Roads Article Improvement Drive collaboration. For more details, see the U.S. Roads Article Improvement Drive. |
This particular page redesign's main discussion point is at WT:USH. — Rob ( talk) 20:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
So... what's the balance between "a summary of U.S. Route 20 in X" and "not enough content"? — Rob ( talk) 16:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
For a few months (back in 2006 IIRC), there was a sign on westbound Comm Ave around Deerfield St., saying "Begin US 20. xxx Oregon, yyy miles." "20" was on the usual shield, but the sign was green-and-white instead of black-and-white. Anyone else see this, have a photo, or have an idea who might have placed it? -- Jnik 17:49, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
On December 8, 2016, state officials in Boston and Newport placed matching signs at their respective ends of US-20; can folks get pictures of them for this article? https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/12/07/road-trip-road-that-begins-boston-goes-all-way-oregon-and-new-sign-will-point-way/IKhh3oeYiF3GyhJRGRI2GJ/story.html MarkHB ( talk) 16:18, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
I have a pic of the "Begin" sign in Newport. Should I include it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.244.211 ( talk) 03:28, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

The article has two sections that divide the highway into an 'Eastern' and 'Western' section, but doesn't discuss this. It seems a fairly arbitrary division. Isn't dividing by state enough? MikZ ( talk) 21:35, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
Between Boston and Rockford, Interstate 90 is never far from US 20, If one is headed west at Rockford, one finds that Interstate 90 makes a decisive turn to the north into Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Dakota (which US 20 never enters). Interstate 90 and US 20 don't get really close in Wyoming even if they are parallel, but at Gillette, Wyoming, Interstate 90 takes another sharp northerly change in direction and heads into Montana, which US 20 never enters. In fact a place just east of Rockford is the most westward point at which Interstate 90 and US 20 have any contact. In Iowa, Nebraska, and eastern Wyoming, US 20 could just as easily be described as parallel to Interstate 80.
OK, US 20 heads a bit north of west in central and western Wyoming on its way to Yellowstone National Park, and the distance from the park route that continues US 20 gets closer to Interstate 90 as it does in any point west of about Dubuque. Then US 20 turns abruptly southwestward in Idaho as Interstate 90 again heads northwestward on its way to Seattle.
I made the modification in the article. Pbrower2a ( talk) 23:36, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
It's come up on AARoads that the 3,365-mile length quoted in this article is inaccurate. Weingroff got his length data from the 1989 AASHTO log, and it was demonstrated by someone working with a breakdown of the data that went into that log that the only way from that data to get a length of 3,365 miles is to also add all of US-20's bannered routes to the total, and thus, strictly speaking, is wrong. It also, of course, doesn't take into accounts any realignments since 1989, of which there have been several.
Could someone survey the relevant DOT sources and put together a more accurate length? — Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 17:32, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
