1930 New York State Route renumbering
- 1930 New York State Route renumbering
In the 1920s, New York only numbered a small set of its state highways. Route numbers were from 1-80, with generally north-south routes having even numbers and generally east-west routes having odd numbers. This scheme was abandoned with the advent of the U.S. Highway system in 1927. (There was some renumbering done in 1927 to avoid overlapping route numbers).
In January 1930, New York added route numbers to many of its previously unnumbered State Routes. Most of the highways numbered in the 100s to 300s were created at this time, with route numbers assigned in clusters based on their general location. Several of these new routes no longer exist, so that the pattern of clusters is no longer fully obeyed today.
Several existing numbered routes were also renumbered/realigned at this time. The table below lists the routes in existence just prior to the renumbering and the effects of the renumbering on these routes.
