US-24 Alternate Name SH-4

Post by PTaylor_US
US-24 has an alternate name of SH-4. I can't find any other reference to a SH-4 anywhere in the state. Anyone know why this alternate name is there?

Elbert Rd also had an alternate of SH-217, but I couldn't find it anywhere else. I've removed it from most of Elbert Rd in El Paso County.

There currently is no Colorado 4 nor 217 at this time. You may already know this, but Colorado highways take the name of the superseding highway, if it travels through the state. (Thus, Interstate 70 is also known as Colorado 70 to the highway guys). If two highways of the same precedent overlap, the milemarker and highway name take the lower of the two numbers (i.e US 40/287 is known as US 40. The mileage of both highways still continues to accumulate, in the event that they separate later down the road. If you'd like a list of all Colorado highways, their mile markers and comments...you can find the up-to-date one here:

In terms of historical reference, I couldn't tell you if something was named odd before, or if it was an old county road number. Either way, it wouldn't be correct or relevant to current users, so I vote that you were right in removing it.

I also failed to find reference for that alt name but will wait for anyone local who may know some historic value to that alt name.
