Around 1946, first-class roads got their numbers 1–68. Numbers 1–60 belonged to Czech roads, 61–68 to Slovak roads. In 1950, an ordinance was issued (1199/1949 Ú.l.I) that divided roads into three classes, traditionally denoted by Roman numerals I (state roads), II (regional roads), III (district roads). However, the system of numbering roads of all classes was nationwide. Each route number was unique and one road could pass through several regions or districts under one number. Municipal roads were not included in the uniform numbering system. </p><p>The number of digits of the route number corresponded to the road class. Class I roads had 1 or 2 digits, class II always 3 digits, class III 4 or 5, exceptionally 6 digits. On directional traffic signs, identification plates of bridge objects or in maps, the route number is given without a prefix. In texts, official decisions and announcements, the route number is usually preceded by a class designation with a slash (I/67, II/102, III/00425). At class I or II, the route branch can be supplemented with a letter suffix (capital letter), e.g. 8H can be a branch of the route 8, or 102A can be a branch of the route 102 – however, this index is not shown on regular maps or road signs. If the suffix letter (lowercase letter) is used for III-class road (III/10107a), the route marked in this way is a separate route and the letter suffix is an integral part of the route number. </p><p>Route numbers of I and II classes are sequential, meaningless. Some patterns can be traced to how the numbers were originally assigned by direction and area, but newly assigned or changed numbers may violate these patterns. Numbers of III-class routes are always derived from the number of some I-class or II-class route. The first three digits always indicate a reference route of a higher class, which means that I-class numbers are always supplemented by leading zeros to the three-digit number (III/0041 and III/00425a are both derived from I/4, and the number III/3259 is followed by III/32510). When I-class or II-class routes are renumbered or recategorized, III-class route numbers do not usually change because of this, i.e. they can refer to historical numbering, not to the current one. </p><p>Although plans and attempts to build highways in the area of Czechoslovakia had been made in the past, the first section of the modern highway network was opened on July 12, 1971. Highway numbers are mostly derived from I-class routes, which they replaced, e.g. road I/5 was replaced by highway D5. Highway numbers are usually indicated with the prefix D (D1, D47), in directional traffic signs they are indicated without a prefix and are distinguished only by the red color of the background. However, the highway number cannot be confused with the corresponding I-class road number, for example, the D8 highway goes in a different direction than the I/8 road. The prefix D is derived from the word "dálnice/dialnica", which is abbreviation of "long-distance road", the substantive "dálka" means "a (long) distance". </p><p>Markings with the R prefix for "expressways" (rychlostní silnice, the word "rychlost" means "a velocity") were also used in the road network maps and strategic documents. R-roads did not have a separate numbering system, but they were sections of ordinary I-class roads, but in construction parameters and with a traffic regime similar to highways. </p><p>After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the numbering systems of the two successor states (Czechia and Slovakia) became independent, but both continued to follow the Czechoslovak numbering system. </p><p>The numbering system in Czechia remained in principle unchanged. However, especially during the partial changes in 1997, some numbers that originally belonged to Slovakia, especially from the 60s series, were used for I-class roads in Czechia, so they are duplicated compared to Slovakian numbers. The highways were renumbered so that the Slovak D1 highway no longer connects to the Czech D1 highway. Slovakia also started to use numbers for its roads that were originally used in Czechia. In Slovakia, a separate numbering system for expressways (R-roads) was created, with numbers R1 – R8. </p><p>As of January 1, 2016, the highway network was reformed in the Czech Republic. The main change was that most sections of R-roads (expressways) were recategorized to highways and the R prefix has fallen into disuse for the remaining ones as well. </p><p>In Slovakia, numbering of III-class routes underwent two reforms. First, in connection with the digitization of the road database, the way of writing third-class road numbers was changed so that in the data outputs all these numbers were complemented to six digits by inserting zeros, e.g. III/5196 to III/519006, however, the old numbering was also used at the same time. As of May 1, 2015, all Slovak III-class routes were renumbered to completely new four-digit numbers, while an interval is reserved for individual districts within which the numbers are assigned. E.g., III/063054 (referring to I/63) was renumbered to III/1460 (numbers starting with 145, 146, 147 belong to Komárno District). </p><p>In Czechia, there is also a national system of cycling route numbering. It is quite independent on road route numbering. Number of digits (1–4) corresponds to the route class, ie. one-digit numbers are for I-class long-distance routes, while 4-digits numbers for local IV-class routes. On the roads, cycling routes are marked with specific official orange-black directional road signs, and for local and off-road routes, stripe marks derived from <a href="/wiki/Czech_Hiking_Markers_System" title="Czech Hiking Markers System">Czech Hiking Markers System</a> are used (with orange margin stripes instead of white ones). The guarantor of the numbering system is <a href="/wiki/Czech_Tourist_Club" title="Czech Tourist Club">Czech Tourist Club</a>. In addition, there are many local routes not included in this system. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Finland">Finland</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Route_number&action=edit&section=32" title="Edit section: Finland"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Roads_in_Finland" title="Roads in Finland">Roads in Finland</a></div> <p>The classification and numbering system of state-maintained roads of Finland is as follows: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Motorways_in_Finland" class="mw-redirect" title="Motorways in Finland">Main roads Class I</a> (<a href="/wiki/Finnish_language" title="Finnish language">Finnish</a>: <i lang="fi">valtatiet</i>; <a href="/wiki/Swedish_language" title="Swedish language">Swedish</a>: <i lang="sv">riksvägar</i>): 1–39 (between major cities) <span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/Finnish_national_road_3" title="Finnish national road 3"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/Finland_road_sign_F29-3.svg/17px-Finland_road_sign_F29-3.svg.png" decoding="async" width="17" height="17" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/Finland_road_sign_F29-3.svg/26px-Finland_road_sign_F29-3.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/Finland_road_sign_F29-3.svg/34px-Finland_road_sign_F29-3.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1240" data-file-height="1240" /></a></span></li> <li>Main roads Class II (<a href="/wiki/Finnish_language" title="Finnish language">Finnish</a>: <i lang="fi">kantatiet</i>; <a href="/wiki/Swedish_language" title="Swedish language">Swedish</a>: <i lang="sv">stamvägar</i>): 40–99 (between regional centers) <span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/Finnish_national_road_55" title="Finnish national road 55"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/Finland_road_sign_F30-55.svg/17px-Finland_road_sign_F30-55.svg.png" decoding="async" width="17" height="15" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/Finland_road_sign_F30-55.svg/26px-Finland_road_sign_F30-55.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/Finland_road_sign_F30-55.svg/34px-Finland_road_sign_F30-55.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1417" data-file-height="1240" /></a></span></li> <li>Regional roads (<a href="/wiki/Finnish_language" title="Finnish language">Finnish</a>: <i lang="fi">seututiet</i>; <a href="/wiki/Swedish_language" title="Swedish language">Swedish</a>: <i lang="sv">regionalvägar</i>): 100–999 (between large municipalities or alternate routes) <span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/Finnish_regional_road_120" title="Finnish regional road 120"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a5/Finland_road_sign_F31-120.svg/27px-Finland_road_sign_F31-120.svg.png" decoding="async" width="27" height="16" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a5/Finland_road_sign_F31-120.svg/41px-Finland_road_sign_F31-120.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a5/Finland_road_sign_F31-120.svg/54px-Finland_road_sign_F31-120.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="2126" data-file-height="1240" /></a></span></li> <li>Connecting roads (<a href="/wiki/Finnish_language" title="Finnish language">Finnish</a>: <i lang="fi">yhdystiet</i>; <a href="/wiki/Swedish_language" title="Swedish language">Swedish</a>: <i lang="sv">förbindelsevägar</i>): 1000–9999 (connecting to a larger road) <span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Finland_road_sign_F32-3622.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Finland_road_sign_F32-3622.svg/30px-Finland_road_sign_F32-3622.svg.png" decoding="async" width="30" height="14" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Finland_road_sign_F32-3622.svg/45px-Finland_road_sign_F32-3622.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Finland_road_sign_F32-3622.svg/60px-Finland_road_sign_F32-3622.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="2657" data-file-height="1240" /></a></span></li> <li>Local roads (<a href="/wiki/Finnish_language" title="Finnish language">Finnish</a>: <i lang="fi">paikallistiet</i>; <a href="/wiki/Swedish_language" title="Swedish language">Swedish</a>: <i lang="sv">bygdevägar</i>): 11000–19999 (between villages cf. <a href="/wiki/Farm-to-market_road" title="Farm-to-market road">farm-to-market road</a>)</li></ul> <p><a href="/wiki/Street" title="Street">Streets</a> are maintained by the local municipality.

There are two national-level route numbering systems, the older <a href="/wiki/United_States_Numbered_Highway_System" title="United States Numbered Highway System">United States Numbered Highway System</a> laid out in 1920s, and the newer <a href="/wiki/Interstate_Highway_System" title="Interstate Highway System">Interstate Highway System</a> started in the 1950s. Additionally, every state in the U.S. maintains its own set of numbered <a href="/wiki/State_highway" title="State highway">state highways</a>. Some states have other systems as well, either a system of numbered <a href="/wiki/County_highway" title="County highway">county highways</a> or secondary state highways. A few cities also have numbered city highways; for example, the city of <a href="/wiki/Charlotte,_North_Carolina" title="Charlotte, North Carolina">Charlotte, North Carolina</a>, maintains <a href="/wiki/Charlotte_Route_4" title="Charlotte Route 4">Charlotte Route 4</a>. </p><p>The U.S. Highway System, indicated by a white shield with black numbers, is based on a numbering grid, with odd routes running generally north–south and even routes running east–west. Primary routes have a one- or two-digit number, and are supplemented by <a href="/wiki/Spur_routes" class="mw-redirect" title="Spur routes">spur routes</a> that add a hundreds digit to their parent route. Routes increase from east-to-west and north-to-south, such that <a href="/wiki/U.S._Route_1" title="U.S. Route 1">U.S. Route 1</a> follows the <a href="/wiki/Atlantic_Seaboard_fall_line" class="mw-redirect" title="Atlantic Seaboard fall line">Atlantic Seaboard fall line</a>, while <a href="/wiki/U.S._Route_101" title="U.S. Route 101">U.S. Route 101</a> does the same at the Pacific Ocean Coast. Likewise <a href="/wiki/U.S._Route_2" title="U.S. Route 2">U.S. Route 2</a> runs near the <a href="/wiki/Canada%E2%80%93United_States_border" title="Canada–United States border">Canadian border</a>, while <a href="/wiki/U.S._Route_98" title="U.S. Route 98">U.S. Route 98</a> follows the <a href="/wiki/Gulf_Coast" class="mw-redirect" title="Gulf Coast">Gulf Coast</a>.

For example, <a href="/wiki/U.S._Route_20" title="U.S. Route 20">U.S. Route 20</a> is a route that runs over 3,000 miles (4,800 km) from <a href="/wiki/Boston,_Massachusetts" class="mw-redirect" title="Boston, Massachusetts">Boston, Massachusetts</a>, to <a href="/wiki/Newport,_Oregon" title="Newport, Oregon">Newport, Oregon</a>, while <a href="/wiki/U.S._Route_41" title="U.S. Route 41">U.S. Route 41</a> spans the country from <a href="/wiki/Miami,_Florida" class="mw-redirect" title="Miami, Florida">Miami, Florida</a>, to the <a href="/wiki/Upper_Peninsula_of_Michigan" title="Upper Peninsula of Michigan">Upper Peninsula of Michigan</a>. Routes like <a href="/wiki/U.S._Route_141" title="U.S. Route 141">U.S. Route 141</a> and <a href="/wiki/U.S._Route_441" title="U.S. Route 441">U.S. Route 441</a> branch off U.S. Route 41. <a href="/wiki/U.S._Route_66" title="U.S. Route 66">U.S. Route 66</a>, known as the "Mother Road", was a cultural touchstone that inspired literature, songs, and other media from its creation in 1926 until it was superseded by segments of the Interstate Highway System. Parts of the road have been designated "Historic Route 66".<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Interstate Highway System, indicated by a red and blue shield with white numbers, is a system of entirely <a href="/wiki/Controlled-access_highway" title="Controlled-access highway">freeways</a> (unlike the U.S. Highway System, which is mostly undivided surface roads). The Interstate System is also based on a grid, with east–west routes bearing even numbers and north–south routes bearing odd numbers. In order to prevent confusion with the earlier U.S. Highway System, however, the Interstates are numbered in the opposite direction, such that the lowest routes numbers are in the south and west, and the highest numbers in the north and east. Major routes end in either a "0" or a "5"; for example <a href="/wiki/Interstate_10" title="Interstate 10">Interstate 10</a> spans the country from <a href="/wiki/Jacksonville,_Florida" title="Jacksonville, Florida">Jacksonville, Florida</a>, to <a href="/wiki/Santa_Monica,_California" title="Santa Monica, California">Santa Monica, California</a>, while <a href="/wiki/Interstate_35" title="Interstate 35">Interstate 35</a> goes from the Mexican border to the Great Lakes. Like with U.S. Highways, subsidiary routes are numbered by adding a hundreds digit to the parent route. Because of the large number of these routes, three-digit numbers may be repeated within the system, but unique to each state. Additionally, the parity of the hundreds digit tells the nature of the spur route: odd hundreds digits like <a href="/wiki/Interstate_393" title="Interstate 393">Interstate 393</a> only connect to the system at one end (forming "spurs"), while an even hundreds digit like <a href="/wiki/Interstate_440_(North_Carolina)" title="Interstate 440 (North Carolina)">Interstate 440</a> indicates that the highway connects to another Interstate at both ends (forming loops). </p><p>The numbering system for <a href="/wiki/State_highway" title="State highway">state highways</a> varies widely from state to state. Each state decides how to number its own routes. Some maintain systems similar to the national road systems, based on a grid. Others number highways regionally, with similar numbers occurring in the same area of the state. Still others have no discernible system, with no connection between a route's location and its number. </p><p>In addition to numbers, route numbers also use suffixed letters and banners appended to the tops of signs to indicate alternate routes to the main highway. For example, <a href="/wiki/U.S._Route_1A" title="U.S. Route 1A">U.S. Route 1A</a> is the name given to many highways which are either older alignments of <a href="/wiki/U.S._Route_1" title="U.S. Route 1">U.S. Route 1</a> or provide an alternate route either around or through a city along U.S. Route 1's route. Banners are sometimes used to indicate alternate routes. Words like "<a href="/wiki/Alternate_route" title="Alternate route">Alternate</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Business_route" title="Business route">Business</a>", or "<a href="/wiki/Bypass_(road)" title="Bypass (road)">Bypass</a>" can be added to a sign to indicate such a situation. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Elsewhere">Elsewhere</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Route_number&action=edit&section=55" title="Edit section: Elsewhere"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Some countries, such as <a href="/wiki/Brazil" title="Brazil">Brazil</a>, number their national highways by direction.
