Bannered Routes Of U.S. Route 12
US Highway 12 (US 12) is a US Highway that runs from Aberdeen, Washington to Detroit, Michigan. In the US state of Michigan it runs for 208.90 miles (336.19 km) between New Buffalo and Detroit as a state trunkline highway.
The current US 12 follows roadways that previously carried two other numbers. When the state signposted its State Trunkline Highway System in 1919, the current highway was numbered M-23. After the United States Numbered Highway System was created, US 12 was assigned to replace the original M-17 in the state along Michigan Avenue between Kalamazoo and Detroit, a highway corridor now served by Interstate 94 (I-94). M-23 was replaced by US 112 in 1926. That highway was extended in the 1930s to replace the original M-151. Once the I-94 freeway was completed, the US 12 designation was moved to replace US 112 between New Buffalo and Ann Arbor.

Famous quotes containing the words routes and/or route:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
