Other examples of weird route designators include Arizona's "Loop 101" and "Loop 202" freeways in Maricopa County (Greater Phoenix). They are state highways, 100% freeways (probably), one around metro PHX and the other around the East Valley (Tempe/Mesa etc.). Like James I think that the route designator and the directionality are two completely different things. So I would imagine "Loop 101" in the way ref and directionality in the relation role. Sadly although I live there half the time I can't recall how the loops are directionally posted right now, but I can take a look later next week.
