U.S. Route 17-1

U.S. Route 17-1 was a designated highway in North Carolina and Virginia from 1926 to 1933, and may have been the only hyphenated route designation in the U.S. Highway system. According to some sources [cite web |url=http://members.cox.net/ncroads/ushwys/us017171.html#171 |title=U.S. 17 and 17-1 |accessdate=2008-02-06 |format= |work= ] , the route may or may not have been signed as "17-1" in the field, though it was included on several contemporary maps of the then-new highway system. It met its parent, U.S. Route 17, in Wilmington, North Carolina.

The former route of US-17-1 now carries the following designations:
*North Carolina Highway 11
*North Carolina Highway 24
*U.S. Route 117
*U.S. Route 301

Much of the North Carolina routing is also now paralleled by I-40.
