Legal definition no longer includes Bountiful
A 2006 law removed "then beginning again at a junction with Route 15 near Orchard Drive northerly through Bountiful to a junction with Route 15 at North Bountiful Interchange" from the definition, stating that US-89 enters I-15 at exit 312 (North Salt Lake). This is not substantiated by UDOT logs or maps that do show the later realignment in downtown SLC, and the code still shows SR-68 and SR-93 ending at US-89. So this appears to have been an error. --NE2 23:54, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Questions
CL — 13:38, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * What do you mean when you say not all interstate junctions are major junctions? How do you define a major interstate junction, and why are the I-80 and I-70 ones major enough to be included? I don't see how SR-12 and SR-38 (I presume you mean SR-39 as the former is 18 mi and the latter is 67 mi) are included when I-15 (or I-215, now that I think about it) isn't
 * US-89 exits through #291 to get off I-15 and onto its own separate path


 * It's a sort of "balancing act" between spacing out the junctions and major places and roads. I-80 is included because it gives a junction for SLC; I-15 isn't both because it's parallel (so it doesn't really provide any major junctions) and because Lehi isn't really a major place, especially with its location close to Provo and SLC.
 * US-89 follows exit 291, so that shouldn't be listed as an exit number. It would be listed if the movement to stay on I-15 was marked as exit 291, and US-89's path had no exit number. --NE2 15:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, but I-70 (near Richfield) and SR-12 (near Panguitch) aren't in major places either, and Lehi is much bigger than the two. Anyway, US-89 crosses I-15 many times without anything to do with a concurrency, Lehi, Salt Lake City, and north of Ogden are just some of the places I can name off the top of my head.

 * That's where spacing comes in - if we went by only the biggest cities, we'd probably have all the junctions in the northern half of the state. --NE2 16:36, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

What do you guys think about adding pictures of Washington Blvd. from Ogden and Main Street from Logan, seeing 89 is part of them both and therefore seemingly significant? --UtahStizzle (talk) 08:27, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Railroads followed
The Utah Northern went from Brigham City north to Collinston, where it turned east and southeast to Mendon and then east to Logan. --NE2 23:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Marysvale to Thistle: Sevier Railway → D&RGW Marysvale Branch, abandoned 1983 after Thistle landslide
 * Thistle to Provo: D&RGW → Southern Pacific Provo Subdivision → Union Pacific Provo Subdivision
 * Provo to Pleasant Grove: both lines were farther west
 * Pleasant Grove to SLC: LA&SL → Union Pacific Provo Subdivision → UTA TRAX Sandy/Salt Lake Line (how far south?)
 * SLC to Farmington: Utah Central Railroad → Utah Central Railway → Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway → Union Pacific Salt Lake Subdivision
 * Ogden to Brigham City: Utah Northern Railroad → Utah and Northern Railway → Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway → Union Pacific Ogden Subdivision
 * Logan to Idaho: Utah Northern Railroad → Utah and Northern Railway → Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway → Union Pacific Cache Valley Branch

Missing former state route intersections
Given that Vine Street and 900 South are listed in the Salt Lake County portion of the US-89 intersection list due to having previously been state highways, the intersections with 4800 South in Murray and Center Street in Midvale should probably be listed too; 4800 South was previously SR-174 according to SR-266 (UT) and Center Street was previously SR-48 according to SR-48 (UT). South Temple was also previously SR-181 according to SR-181 (UT), but only east of State Street, so that should just be in the SR-186 (UT) article now... I do not have mile-poat data for these intersections, so I did not try to add them immediately. Esetzer (talk) 05:07, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

9400 South was also SR-209 according to SR-209 (UT), though that article's history section is not very clear. Esetzer (talk) 05:20, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
