Route Description
SR 167 begins in Albany in Delaware County at its parent route, SR 67. The route heads northeast, passing through rural farmland as a two-lane highway. The road passes through Dunkirk concurrent with Main Street. After Dunkirk the road turns due north along the border between Blackford and Jay Counties. The highway ends at an intersection with SR 26 east of Hartford City.
No segment of State Road 167 in Indiana is included in the National Highway System (NHS). The NHS is a network of highways that are identified as being most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the nation. The highway is maintained by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) like all other state roads in the state. The department tracks the traffic volumes along all state roads as a part of its maintenance responsibilities using a metric called average annual daily traffic (AADT). This measurement is a calculation of the traffic level along a segment of roadway for any average day of the year. In 2010, INDOT figured that lowest traffic levels were 840 vehicles and 130 commercial vehicles used the highway daily near its northern terminus. The peak traffic volumes were 3,0901 vehicles and 250 commercial vehicles AADT along the section of SR 167 near its southern terminus.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
