SR-41 created in 1968, but was not part of list
State highways deleted by the Utah State Legislature in 1953
We should consider creating this. Deleted: SR-34, SR-58, SR-75, SR-77, SR-79, SR-85, SR-89, SR-93, SR-127, SR-138, SR-156, SR-160, SR-161, SR-164, SR-168, SR-169, SR-191, SR-192, SR-202, SR-205, SR-211, SR-214, SR-215, SR-227, SR-231, SR-237, SR-238, SR-240, part of SR-121 Enough to make a page?
There are certainly enough routes deleted in 1953 to make a page out of them, but the only holdup I see is the lack of information on them. --

In my opinion, the title of this article is excessively long and redundant. The article is a large list of state routes that were deleted in 1969. The part about the legislature is redundant, since they're the only entity that can delete them (since all routes are legislatively defined in the first place. As a result, I propose this article be renamed to
List of Utah State Routes deleted in 1969. --

Well, we could also use "decommissioned", but apparently that has had issues in the past (see
Talk:List_of_road-related_terminology#Decommission). I only suggested "deleted" because that's the language used in official UDOT documents (here's
an example, and it seems to be the Wikipedia standard for state routes in Utah. Maybe "removed" or "eliminated" could also work.

Requested move 5 January 2019
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Why do we have to use "highway" instead of "route"? (This goes for
List of state highways in Utah, too). The way UDOT seems to use the terms, a "state highway" is a roadway that the state maintains, and a "state route" is a series of these roadways identified by a number. All the articles use the form "Utah State Route xx", so aren't we really listing the state routes in these articles?
