State Route 172 was a state highway along the western part of Arizona. It was established for a route from the town of Parker to Parker Dam, along the Colorado River. It existed between 1958-1962. After the dam was completed the route was decertified. The road up to the dam site still exists today as a county route. It was the only spur route of State Route 72. The route is now a part of State Route 95.

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or route:
““Hear me,” he said to the white commander. “I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. Our chiefs are dead; the little children are freezing. My people have no blankets, no food. From where the sun stands, I will fight no more forever.””
—For the State of Montana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
