Route Description
Highway 244 serves as a north–south route between the communities of Mahtomedi, Willernie, and Dellwood. The route forms an arc around the east side of White Bear Lake.
The road runs primarily through a heavily wooded, residential area. That, combined with hilly terrain and numerous curves, results in a 30-35 MPH speed limit for most of its length. It becomes 45 MPH after the junction with Washington County Road 12, and lowers to 40 MPH when it reaches the commercial area at its southern terminus with Highway 120 and Ramsey County Road 15.
The route is legally defined as Route 244 in the Minnesota Statutes.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.”
—Freda Adler (b. 1934)
