I totally agree. My point is just that some people and some states
(Michigan, Kansas) feel that the prefix itself is an important part of the
reference number: “The M in the state highway numbers is an integral part of
the designation…Michigan highways are properly referred to using the M and
never as ‘Route 28’ or ‘Highway 28’”.
It's part of the name when you're talking about the route, just like
one would say "I-95" or "US 1". It's not part of the designation as
shown in shields, either on the ground or on maps.
Oh, really?
