Talk:U.S. Route 287

Two Segment Highway?

This statement at the beginning of the article seems incorrect:

"The highway is broken into two segments by Yellowstone National Park, where an unnumbered park road serves as a connector."

Google Maps shows U.S. 287 unbroken through Yellowstone National Park; the route passes through West Thumb, Old Faithful, and Madison Junction, before exiting at West Yellowstone, Montana. Zenithian (talk) 16:02, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

That's why Google Maps is not a reliable source. The AASHTO Route Log, page 182 (large download), which is the source for US Highways, says 287 is split into two sections at Yellowstone. --Fredddie™ 20:09, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Incorrect edit comment about 287 not going through OK

My edit comment about 287 not going through Oklahoma is incorrect. It does go through OK, but as it just passes through a very brief portion of the OK panhandle, it is not a major route connecting OK to TX as implied by the statement that I removed. Nova SS 14:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
