 Michigan Highways: County-Designated Highways
While several of Michigan's 83 counties utilize a locally-determined county road numbering system, the County-Designated Highway program was begun in 1970 in order to provide a consistent, statewide county numbering system for identifying primary county roads which retained their designations across county lines.
As the Michigan State Highway Department worked feverishly at opening mile after mile of new freeway in the late-1950s and 1960s, the "old routes"—the old, parallel, two-lane highways replaced by the freeways—were being turned back to local control and were no longer signed state trunklines.
While a few counties do an admirable job of signing and maintaining their County-Designated routes, others have been forced to spend their money on more pressing needs, such as roadway maintenance, snow plowing and the like.
