It's 14 miles from the state line with Alabama to the first towen of any note, Macon. Here, old US 45 is signed in the most wonderful way, as old stretches pf federal highway are in the Magnolia State: by simply adding the prefix 1 to the highway number. So old US 45 (Business 45 thru Macon, essentially) is signed MS 145. There's nothing confusing about that.
Of course, if you prefer mystery or would rather research the old routes instead of simply having them signed for you... then this sucks. But it's part of the character of the Mississippi highway system. |
