Siri calls them highways, they’re County Roads! And I’m still searching for County Road PP. once I find it I’ll drive to it and the kids will laugh at Siri.

CTH-PP Tomah, WI 54660 43.99805° N, 90.36020° W I believe that is what you’re looking for.

They’re still county highways, at least according to the person interviewed in the article. It’s even called the Wisconsin County Highway Association.

  Nobody in WI calls them that tho.

    No, but that's what they are ;)

    Nobody calls them that in most places in the US, but towns and villages usually have “highway departments” and they’re not the ones managing the interstates and state highways.

There's more than one, since the different counties can reuse codes. The one I know of goes from Brillion, WI out towards Chilton. I grew up in the area so I know that one quite well.

Visiting my parents in Wisconsin and I'm about a mile away from it right now. We also have PPP.

Growing up we never used "Road" we just said "County (letter)" Probably because the signs themselves never say Road or Highway (at least usually, back in the day, I haven't paid attention recently). I like the system. It helps reduce confusion in terms of what the "main" (state/interstate) vs the local.

  I think part of it is that “the highway” now usually refers to a nice highway or freeway somewhere nearby, and if you say “the county X” without specifics which one, you’re likely to say “county road”.

They’re CTH : County Trunk Highway. Posting from CTH T between the intersections at TT and TTT.
