Talk:U.S. Route 11

Historic termini
Why until 1929, U.S. 11 ended just south of Picayune, Mississippi at the Pearl River border with Louisiana? --Patricknoddy 14:24, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)User:Patricknoddy User talk:Patricknoddy 10:21 July 26, 2004 (EDT)

Article short on history
The article lacks history - US 11 was constructed or designated following earlier routes, often the main streets which towns had developed around. These early routes relate to early colonial and federal history and settlement patterns, not as much to later ideas about highway construction. Town and state settlement history probably is the place for answers about why did it go here or there? Many of the routes would go back to Native American trails. Every state section should reflect the history of that area. In addition, Interstate 81 was constructed long AFTER US 11 was designated, so it may parallel US 11, but US 11 came first. To describe the highway as paralleling Interstate 81 gives the wrong idea of timing, and to simply describe how it proceeds from Louisiana to New York ignores the history of the way the United States developed.--Parkwells (talk) 15:35, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Concurrency with US 190?
According to the article: "After the intersection with Erlanger Road, Route 11 intersects with U.S. Route 190 (Fremaux Avenue), which becomes concurrent along Front Street. Routes 11 and 190 continue to the north, intersecting with many locally maintained roads in Slidell. At the intersection with Gause Boulevard and Gause Boulevard West, Route 190 turns to the west."

Yet according to Google maps, mainline 190 uses Gause Blvd. east of Front, while Business 190 comes in on Fremaux, which intersects (and ends) at Front/US 11. Presumably, the Business Route from there is concurrent with US 11 northeast to Gause, where Business 190 then ends. Which is correct—the article or the map? 69.42.17.116 (talk) 15:51, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
