Where Route 66 crosses Route 66
I don't have any references on the matter, but it should be noted soon that the city of Albuquerque is tearing up the 4th street mall and rebuilding the street. This would make the pre-1937 alignment (4th St.) cross over the post-1937 Alignment (Central Ave.) ®amos likes messages! 22:13, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Hannet's revenge story
The story about Governor Hannett rerouting Route 66 for purely political reasons seems questionable. First of all, the 1937 route is more practical because it is shorter. Secondly, I'm not sure how much power any governor has over the route of an interstate highway that is funded by the federal government. I know nothing about highway history, so I'm hoping someone else can provide a more reputable citation for this story. Rpotance (talk) 14:54, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Left Turn in Albuquerque
According to "|That Left Turn in Albuquerque, 1938-2019" the joke was based on the way Route 66 went through Albuquerque. This refers to |an article by John Deeth. TV Tropes states "The gag originates from the fact that Route 66 (opened in 1926) actually intersects itself in the middle of downtown resulting where you could stand on the corner of Route 66 and Route 66" with the note "Specifically, the route was changed in 1937, with the old alignment intersecting the new alignment. resulting in a lot of people getting turned around and taking the wrong turn." but it has no reference to where this come from. "Route 66 – Facts and Trivia" (Legends of America) states "Because of a change in alignment of Route 66 in 1937, there is an intersection where Route 66 crosses itself at Central Avenue and 4thStreet in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. Here, you can stand on the corner of Route 66 and Route 66."--174.99.238.22 (talk) 18:11, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
