Arkansas Highway System
–
The Arkansas Highway System is made up of all the highways designated as Interstates, U. S. Highways and State Highways in the US state of Arkansas, the system is maintained by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department. The system contains 16,442.90 miles of Interstates, U. S. Routes, state highways, the shortest members are unsigned state highways Arkansas Highway 806 and Arkansas Highway 885, both 0.09 miles in length. The longest route is U. S. Route 67, which runs 296.95 miles from Texarkana to the Missouri Bootheel, travel in Arkansas has come from very humble beginnings. In the late century, travelers would follow dirt paths riddled with potholes. Bicycles would frequently stick in mud puddles, trains never became popular in Arkansas, and instead travelers would use horse and buggy to get around the rural parts of state, and bicycles within cities. Across the nation, many cyclists began demanding better roads to use for travel, a group of Arkansas cyclists held a good roads convention in Little Rock just before the turn of the century. Arkansas automobile salesmen quickly picked up on the notion that roads would help their business as well. The enterprising salesmen greatly increased the movements breadth by expanding their scope outside of city streets to farm to market routes, the combination of money from Little Rock salesmen and the large number of farmers in the state made the good roads movement a formidable alliance. At this time, the roads were maintained by a law that mandated all healthy men of middle age contribute five days of road work annually. Another convention in 1907 formed road districts, but this did not help the situation either, although the need for improvement was obvious, the citizens had trouble finding funding for their goals. In December 1913, Arkansas formed the Dollarway, which was the name of a road with asphalt concrete topping. It was opened near Pine Bluff, by 1914, a segment of 23 miles was opened, the longest paved stretch in the United States. Now that Arkansas had discovered a durable paving system, concrete topped with asphalt of Dollarway pavement, Dollarway was also a more economical choice, as macadam would frequently need replacing. The next problem facing Arkansas was that road improvement districts established in 1907 and these districts lacked central organization, there was very limited communication among districts, they were also often headed by novices, and were usually heavily in debt. In 1913, the Arkansas Highway Commission was ordered with the task of organizing the states road system, in 1915, the Commission was charged with misappropriating funds for officials to use on automobiles and gasoline, making the financial situation even worse. The Alexander Road law of 1915 allowed those close to a route to form their own districts and this resulted in wild variations of how the same road was paved from district to district and from county to county. In 1917, the Arkansas General Assembly enacted Act 105, designating all public roads as state roads eligible to receive aid in response to the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916

Arkansas Scenic Byways
–
The Arkansas Scenic Byways Program is a list of highways, mainly state highways, that have been designated by the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department as scenic highways. The Arkansas General Assembly designates routes for scenic byway status upon successful nomination, for a highway to be declared scenic, a group interested in preserving the scenic, cultural, recreational, and historic qualities of the route must be created. Mayors of all communities along the route and county judges from each affected county must be included in the organization, Scenic highways are marked with a circular shield in addition to regular route markers. There are currently 11 scenic routes that have been designated Arkansas state scenic byways, three of these byways are also National Scenic Byways. S. Roads portal Arkansas Parks and Recreation

The western terminus is at U. S. Route 160 in Teec Nos Pos, the highways eastern terminus is at NC12 and U. S. Route 158 at Whalebone Junction, North Carolina. US 64s western terminus is Teec Nos Pos, Arizona, at US160 and it goes southeast from Teec Nos Pos and enters New Mexico. US64 runs through Farmington, Taos, Angel Fire, Eagle Nest, Cimarron, as it runs through Raton, it is co-signed with U. S. Route 87. It continues through to Clayton, where US87 is replaced by U. S, the three routes then run concurrently into Oklahoma. Twenty-eight miles northeast of Cimarron is Raton Municipal Airport and it is one of the roads on the Trails of the Ancients Byway, one of the designated New Mexico Scenic Byways. At Angel Fire, US64 runs past the Vietnam Veterans Memorial State Park. Although US64 does not technically cross into Texas, the New Mexico-Texas border does reach the shoulder of US64 outside of Clayton at 36. 500352°N103. 041922°W /36.500352, -103.041922. Heading into the Oklahoma Panhandle, the three conjoined routes pick up a two miles southwest of Boise City, as US-385 merges from the south. Shortly thereafter, US-56 also departs the route, heading northeast into Kansas, while US-64, near Guymon, the route turns due south to approach the town. US-412 then heads due east, while US-64 veers from due south to northeast and these two routes remain together for about 20 miles, splitting at Hooker, with US-54 continuing northeast into Kansas while US-64 again veers due east. At Turpin, US-64 turns left, running north with US-83, three miles later, it turns east, joining US-270 while US-83 and westbound US-270 continue north to Liberal. Near Pond Creek, US-64 turns south, joined by US-60, US-64 splits off just north of Enid, jogging through the city before rejoining US-412 on the east side of town. The two routes remain together until they meet Interstate 35, which US-64 joins briefly southbound while US-412 continues east, US-64 departs I-35 at Perry, intersecting the parallel US-77 before continuing east. On either side of Morrison the route intersects US-177 and US-412 before passing through Pawnee and it then veers southeast, rejoining US-412 yet again to head into Tulsa. In downtown Tulsa, the route diverges from US-412 for the final time and it then proceeds south, crossing the Creek Turnpike, then crosses the Arkansas River in Bixby before turning to the southeast. After passing through Haskell, US-64 and US-62 meet head-on, north–south, they join, the routes disengage at the intersection with US-69, with US-64 bearing south out of the center of town. At Warner, the route turns again, where it will run parallel to Interstate 40 for the remainder of its path through Oklahoma

Concurrency (road)
–
A concurrency in a road network is an instance of one physical road bearing two or more different highway, motorway, or other route numbers. When two freeways share the same right-of-way, it is called a common section or commons. Other terminology for a concurrency includes overlap, coincidence, duplex, triplex, multiplex, concurrent numbering can become very common in countries that allow it. In some countries, however, concurrent numbering is avoided by posting only one number on road signs. Criticism of concurrencies include environmental intrusion, as well as being considered a factor in road accidents, most concurrencies are simply a combination of two route numbers on the same physical road. This is often advantageous as well as economically advantageous, it may be better for two route numbers to be combined into one along riverways or through mountain valleys. Some nations allow for concurrencies to occur, however, some nations specifically do not allow it to happen, in those nations which do permit concurrencies, it can become very common. In these countries, there are a variety of concurrences which can occur, an example of this is the concurrency of I-70 and I-76 on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in western Pennsylvania. A triple Interstate concurrency is found north of Madison, Wisconsin, with I-39, I-90, Wisconsin has another triple Interstate concurrency along the five-mile section of I-41, I-43, and I-894 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The concurrency of I-41 and I-43 on this roadway is an example of a wrong-way concurrency, the longest Interstate highway concurrency is I-80 and I-90 for 265 miles across Indiana and Ohio. There are examples of eight-way concurrencies, I-465 around Indianapolis and Georgia State Route 10 Loop around downtown Athens, Georgia. Portions of the 53-mile I-465 overlap with I-74, US31, US36, US40, US52, US421, SR37, seven of the eight other designations overlap between exits 46 and 47 to create an eight-way concurrency. In the United States, concurrencies are simply marked by placing signs for both routes on the same or adjacent posts, the federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices prescribes that when mounting these adjacent signs together that the numbers will be arranged vertically or horizontally in order of precedence. The order to be used is Interstate Highways, U. S. Highways, state highways, and finally county roads, several states do not officially have any concurrencies, instead officially ending routes on each side of one. There are several circumstances where unusual concurrencies exist along state borders, one example occurs along the Oklahoma–Arkansas state line. At the northern end of this border Oklahoma State Highway 20 runs concurrently with Arkansas Highway 43, concurrencies are also found in Canada. In Manitoba, the Trans-Canada Highway from Winnipeg to Portage la Prairie is concurrently signed with Yellowhead Highway, in Ontario, the Queen Elizabeth Way and Highway 403 run concurrently between Burlington and Oakville, forming the provinces only concurrency between two 400-series highways. In the United Kingdom, routes do not run concurrently with others, where this would normally occur, the roadway takes the number of only one of the routes, while the other routes are considered to have a gap and are signed in brackets

Arkansas Highway 43
–
Highway 43 is a designation for three north–south state highways in northwest Arkansas. A second segment of 20.0 miles runs northeast from Highway 21 at Boxley to Highway 7 in Harrison, the third segment runs 1.8 miles north in Harrison from US Route 65 to Highway 7. The route begins at AR59 in Siloam Springs and runs west to intersect AR264, the route continues west before turning north and running close to the Oklahoma state line. AR43 runs through Cherokee City before meeting AR102 and later AR72 in Maysville, after Maysville, AR43 runs along the Oklahoma state line concurrent with Oklahoma State Highway 20. This continues for approximately 5.4 miles until both routes terminate at Missouri Route 43, in an almost-as-unique situation, for the northernmost few miles of the overlapping stretch of road AR 43/SH20 turns toward the west, no longer straddling the state line. For those few miles, Highway 43 is located wholly within the state of Oklahoma but is not apparent to the traveler, AR43 begins at Highway 21 at Boxley, and runs north near the Buffalo National River. The route enters Boone County and serves as the terminus of AR206. AR43 terminates at AR7 in south Harrison, the route runs for 15.9 miles in Newton County and 14.1 miles in Boone County. The route begins at U. S. Route 65 on the end of Harrison. Originally numbered AR99, the route was renumbered in the mid-1960s to its present number, AR 99s southern terminus was originally at U. S. Route 412 in Siloam Springs, but was rerouted in the mid-1990s along the former AR204, terminating at Highway 59. Arkansas Highway 43 Spur was a route of 1.0 mile in Siloam Springs. It was decommissioned when AR43 was rerouted along AR204

National Register of Historic Places
–
The National Register of Historic Places is the United States federal governments official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects deemed worthy of preservation. The passage of the National Historic Preservation Act in 1966 established the National Register, of the more than one million properties on the National Register,80,000 are listed individually. The remainder are contributing resources within historic districts, each year approximately 30,000 properties are added to the National Register as part of districts or by individual listings. For most of its history the National Register has been administered by the National Park Service and its goals are to help property owners and interest groups, such as the National Trust for Historic Preservation, coordinate, identify, and protect historic sites in the United States. While National Register listings are mostly symbolic, their recognition of significance provides some financial incentive to owners of listed properties, protection of the property is not guaranteed. During the nomination process, the property is evaluated in terms of the four criteria for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, the application of those criteria has been the subject of criticism by academics of history and preservation, as well as the public and politicians. Occasionally, historic sites outside the proper, but associated with the United States are also listed. Properties can be nominated in a variety of forms, including individual properties, historic districts, the Register categorizes general listings into one of five types of properties, district, site, structure, building, or object. National Register Historic Districts are defined geographical areas consisting of contributing and non-contributing properties, some properties are added automatically to the National Register when they become administered by the National Park Service. These include National Historic Landmarks, National Historic Sites, National Historical Parks, National Military Parks/Battlefields, National Memorials, on October 15,1966, the Historic Preservation Act created the National Register of Historic Places and the corresponding State Historic Preservation Offices. Initially, the National Register consisted of the National Historic Landmarks designated before the Registers creation, approval of the act, which was amended in 1980 and 1992, represented the first time the United States had a broad-based historic preservation policy. To administer the newly created National Register of Historic Places, the National Park Service of the U. S. Department of the Interior, hartzog, Jr. established an administrative division named the Office of Archeology and Historic Preservation. Hartzog charged OAHP with creating the National Register program mandated by the 1966 law, ernest Connally was the Offices first director. Within OAHP new divisions were created to deal with the National Register, the first official Keeper of the Register was William J. Murtagh, an architectural historian. During the Registers earliest years in the late 1960s and early 1970s, organization was lax and SHPOs were small, understaffed, and underfunded. A few years later in 1979, the NPS history programs affiliated with both the U. S. National Parks system and the National Register were categorized formally into two Assistant Directorates. Established were the Assistant Directorate for Archeology and Historic Preservation and the Assistant Directorate for Park Historic Preservation, from 1978 until 1981, the main agency for the National Register was the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service of the United States Department of the Interior. In February 1983, the two assistant directorates were merged to promote efficiency and recognize the interdependency of their programs, jerry L. Rogers was selected to direct this newly merged associate directorate

Interstate 40 in Arkansas
–
Interstate 40 is an east–west Interstate Highway that has a 284. 69-mile section in the U. S. state of Arkansas connecting sections in Oklahoma to Tennessee. The route enters Arkansas from the west just north of the Arkansas River near Dora and it travels eastward across the northern portion of the state connecting the cities of Fort Smith, Clarksville, Russellville, Morrilton, Conway, Little Rock, Forrest City, and West Memphis. I-40 continues into Tennessee heading through Memphis, the highway has major junctions with Interstate 540 at Van Buren, Interstate 49 at Alma, Interstate 30 in Little Rock and Interstate 55 to Blytheville. For the majority of its routing through Arkansas, I-40 follows the alignment of two separate United States highways. From Oklahoma to Little Rock, Interstate 40 generally follows U. S. Route 64 through the Ozark Mountains, east of Little Rock, the route generally follows the routing of U. S. Route 70 until Tennessee. I-40 enters Arkansas from Oklahoma at Dora in Crawford County and it heads east into Van Buren, giving access to Fort Smith as well across the Arkansas River to the south. Access is primarily via Interstate 540/US71, which was built as a spur to Fort Smith in the 1970s. I-40 overlaps with US71, forming a concurrency until the alignment of US71 breaks north to Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, Bentonville, and its northern Arkansas terminus in Bella Vista. The route continues to parallel US64 into the Ozark Mountains by entering Franklin County, Interstate 40 runs through Clarksville, passes over part of Lake Dardanelle, and meets Highway 7 in Russellville. I40 continues to the east through Morrilton before turning south to Conway, in Conway, I-40 forms a concurrency with US65 at exit 125, which will continue until exit 153a in Little Rock. The highway also has another junction with US64 and US65 Business in Conway before passing Lake Conway, now in Pulaski County, I-40 heads towards the south-southeast as it heads to the town of Maumelle. It continues towards this direction until it reaches Interstate 430, which provides access along the side of Little Rock. I-40 continues east for 1.5 miles before the US 67/US167 concurrency turns north as a separate northeasterly expressway, from this point onward, Interstate 40 begins to parallel US70 rather than US64, which was a more or less a parallel route until Conway. The interstate continues to the east to intersect the concurrency of I-440/AR440 before entering Lonoke County, passing through Lonoke, the route runs through rural Arkansas with straight alignments and relatively few junctions, forming an overlap with US63 in Hazen and meeting US 49/AR17 in Brinkley. Upon entering St. Francis County, Interstate 40 runs northeast to Forrest City, continuing northeast, I-40 enters Crittenden County, where it intersects with US79 at Shearerville and enters West Memphis. The highway continues to the northeast to an interchange with Interstate 55, I-40 continues east onto the Hernando De Soto Bridge over the Mississippi River.

Highway 103 begins at the intersection of Lakeview Drive as Marina Road in Clarksville near the Spadra Creek Use Area along the Arkansas River, the route runs east then turns north to cross Interstate 40 at exit 58. Now entering the part of the city, Highway 103 becomes Rogers Avenue and has an intersection with Highway 123 before meeting US Highway 64 in downtown Clarksville. Now forming a 0.42 miles concurrency westbound with US64, the concurrency ends when Highway 103 turns north and becomes College Avenue. Following the university, Highway 103 exits Clarksville and heads northwest to Harmony through sparsely populated forested land, Harmony brings an intersection with Highway 164 near the Harmony Presbyterian Church before turning north and entering the Ozark National Forest, administrated by the United States Forest Service. The highway winds slowly through the dense forest, including turns, to an intersection with Highway 215. Highway 103 begins on the border of the National Park Services Buffalo National River at Highway 43 in Newton County near Ponca, the highway runs north into Carroll County to Osage and passes Stamps Store before forming a concurrency with US412 to the west. Following this overlap, Highway 103 runs north through Conner and Rule before forming a concurrency with US62 in Green Forest

Buffalo National River
–
The Buffalo River, located in northern Arkansas, was the first National River to be designated in the United States. The Buffalo River is 153 miles long, the lower 135 miles flow within the boundaries of an area managed by the National Park Service, where the stream is designated the Buffalo National River. The river flows through Newton, Searcy, Marion, and Baxter Counties, the Park is home to the states only elk herd. The upper section of the river in the Ozark National Forest is managed by the U. S. The Buffalo National River was established by an Act of Congress on March 1,1972, at a point about 15 miles above the Park boundary in Newton County, Arkansas, the Buffalo River begins as the Main Prong of Big Buffalo Creek. On 1,24,000 scale United States Geological Survey topographic maps, the river flows north through Boxley to Ponca, where it then begins an eastward trek across northern Arkansas to its confluence with the White River on the Marion-Baxter County line. Advanced canoeists and kayakers often refer to the 15-mile section upriver from Boxley and this extremely challenging section of the river is floatable only during periods of high water and should be attempted only by those with solid whitewater skills. Along the upper river, the gradient is steep and the water is fast, the rivers ancient current also gives life to well over 300 species of fish, insects, freshwater mussels, and aquatic plants. The Buffalo National River is a camping, canoeing. Visitors may bring their own canoes or rent from several independent concessioners, camping is, however, permitted on gravel bars and sand bars along the river. In addition, the National Park Service has a number of developed campgrounds along the river, the National Park Service headquarters for the Buffalo National River is located in Harrison, Arkansas.

Traffic circle
–
A traffic circle is a type of intersection that directs both turning and through traffic onto a one-way circular roadway, usually built for the purposes of traffic calming or aesthetics. Colloquially, however, roundabouts are sometimes referred to as circles, in the United States, traffic engineers typically use the term rotary for large scale circular junctions between expressways or controlled-access highways. Rotaries typically feature high speeds inside the circle and on the approaches, in New England, traffic circles are generally called rotaries and the traffic that is already driving in the rotary always has the right of way. For examples of where this is specified, in Massachusetts Any operator of a vehicle entering a rotary intersection shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle already in the intersection, in Rhode Island entering vehicles Yield to vehicles in the roundabout. Distinct from roundabouts, traffic circles and rotaries may also have a lane that requires traffic on it to change lanes in order to exit the circle. Design criteria include, Right-of-way, Whether entering or circling vehicles have the right of way, the New Jersey Drivers Manual recommends that, in the absence of flow control signs, traffic yields based on historically established traffic flow patterns, and there are no set rules. In New England, Washington, D. C. and New York State, entering traffic yields, angle of entry, Angles range from glancing that allow full-speed entry to 90 degree angles. Traffic speed, High entry speeds require circulating vehicles to yield, often stopping, lane changes, Allowed or not Diameter, The greater the traffic, the larger the circle. Island function, Parking, parks, fountains, etc, french architect Eugène Hénard was designing one-way circular intersections as early as 1877. American architect William Phelps Eno favored small traffic circles and he designed New York Citys famous Columbus Circle, which was built in 1905. Other circular intersections were built in the United States, though many were large diameter rotaries that enabled high speed merge. These designs were doomed to failure for two reasons, It takes a large diameter circle to provide enough room for merging at speed. Although some of these circles were huge, they were not large enough for high-speed merging, giving priority to entering traffic means that more vehicles can enter the circulatory roadway than it can handle. The result is congestion within the circle which could not clear without police intervention, the experience with traffic circles and rotaries in the USA was almost entirely negative, characterized by high accident rates and congestion problems. By the mid 1950s, construction of circles and rotaries had ceased entirely. The experience with traffic circles in other countries was not much better until the development of the roundabout in the United Kingdom during the 1960s. Starting in the 1990s the USA saw a revival of mostly smaller traffic circles, the modern roundabout finally arrived in the United States in 1990 in Summerlin, a major Las Vegas residential subdivision. As of December,2015 there are about 4800 of these modern roundabouts in the United States, as an example, Washington State contains about 120 roundabouts as of October 2016, all having been built since 1997 with more planned

Harrison, Arkansas
–
Harrison is a city in Boone County, Arkansas, United States. It named after General Marcus LaRue Harrison, a surveyor that laid out the city along Crooked Creek at Stifler Springs, according to 2012 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the city was 13,163, up from 12,943 at the 2010 census. Harrison is the city of the Harrison Micropolitan Statistical Area. Native Americans were the first inhabitants of the area, the first probably being cliff dwellers who lived in caves in the bluffs along the rivers. In later times, the Osage, a branch of the Sioux, was the tribe in the Ozarks. The Shawnee, Quapaw, and Caddo people were familiar to the area. The Cherokee arrived around 1816 and did not get along with the Osage and this hostility erupted into a full-scale war in the Ozark Mountains. By the 1830s both tribes were removed to Indian Territory and it is possible that the first white men to visit the area were some forty followers of Hernando de Soto and that they camped at a Native village on the White River at the mouth of Bear Creek. It is more likely that the discoverers were French hunters or trappers who followed the course of the White River, in early 1857, the Baker-Fancher wagon train assembled at Bellers Stand, south of Harrison. On September 11,1857, approximately 120 members of this train were murdered near Mountain Meadows, Utah Territory, by attacking local Mormon militia. In 1955, a monument to memorialize the victims of the massacre was placed on the Harrison town square, Boone County was organized in 1869, during Reconstruction after the Civil War. Harrison was platted and made the county seat and it is named after Marcus LaRue Harrison, a Union officer who surveyed and platted the town. The town of Harrison was incorporated on March 1,1876, in 1905 and 1909, citizens drove all of the African-American residents and nearly all of the unemployed railroad men out of Harrison, purportedly to curb crime. These events were the subject of an Independent Lens program entitled Banished on PBS in 2008. The notorious bank robber and convicted murderer Henry Starr met his fate in Harrison on February 18,1921, during the robbery, Starr was shot by the former president of the bank, William J. Myers. Starr was carried to the jail, where he died the next morning. On May 7,1961, heavy rain caused Crooked Creek, immediately south of the business district, to flood the town square.
