U.S. Highways in Michigan
The US Highways in Michigan are the segments of the national United States Numbered Highway System that are owned and maintained by the US state of Michigan, totaling about 2,300 mi. The longest of these is US Highway 23 (US 23) at around 362 mi. On a national level, the standards and numbering for the system are handled by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), while the highways in Michigan are maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). The original highways were approved on November 11, 1926, by AASHTO including 14 mainline highways. A handful of these original highway designations no longer run within Michigan, and a few numbers have been added since the 1930s. Since 1999, there have been 13 mainline highways, and with the creation of a business route for Constantine, there are a total of 30 special routes in the state. Several highways have been converted to freeways, some of which are now Interstate Highways and no longer part of the U.S. Highway System. These freeway conversions started in the 1940s and 1950s and continued through to the turn of the 21st century.

This is a high-quality, and so far the first of its kind, collection of articles encompassing a single state's components of the national United States Numbered Highway System along with the related business routes, and it follows with Featured topics/Interstate Highways in Michigan (currently a GT, working on promotion to FT). Unlike that topic, this is already at FT-level content. This is also the second of the three subtopics about the Michigan State Trunkline Highway System. The other subtopics on Michigan's "plain" state highways will be coming to GTC later this year after another FLC. Once these subtopics are promoted, I plan a FTC using the system article and the four lists of roads in the overall system. (Pure Michigan Byway won't have its own topic.) --  Imzadi 1979  →   03:06, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
