Talk:M-50 (Michigan highway)

Eastern terminus

What is the exact eastern terminus for M-50? The article says that it ends at US-24 (North Telegraph Road) in Monroe, Michigan, but other sources indicate that it stretches two more miles to M-125 (Monroe Street), including the Wikipedia article on M-125. The image map used on the M-50 article shows that it runs all the way to I-75 through Monroe's east end, going even further than M-125. Third, various maps, such as Google, show M-50 running past M-125, going through the eastside, but then turning on North Dixie Highway toward Monroe's north side (Frenchtown) and then ending at I-75. For possible endings for M-50:

1. At US-24 (North Telegraph Road)?
2. At M-125 (Monroe Street) in downtown Monroe?
3. At I-75 running through the eastside (Front Street) to I-75?
4. At I-75 running through the northside (Front Street–Winchester–N. Dixie Highway) to I-75?

I live in Monroe, and there are M-50 signs going to and ending at M-125 (but another source says those signs are recently outdated). I've also never seen M-50 signs running past that point all the way to I-75. So, what's the eastern terminus? I don't want to make any incorrect changes, but I don't believe that it is US-24 as the article states. —№tǒŖïøŭş4lĭfė ♫♪ 22:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Michigan Highways, a usually reliable source indicates it formerly extended to M-125 and that in October 2006 it was scaled back to US 24. Prior to that up till c. 1996-1997, it had extended to I-75. Michigan Highway Ends has photographs from 2002 of the end at M-125 as well as photos of the previous end at I-75. This map from the Michigan DOT shows M-50 ending at US 24. older ≠ wiser 16:43, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

This is the Webmaster of Michigan Highway Ends. I have not updated the M-50 Page yet, but I have received a photo of, and have personally driven by, the M-50 ENDS shield assembly that now stands in front of the US 24/Telegraph Rd. intersection. I will have it up in the next update, but this has been the **official** Eastern Terminus of M-50 since November 2006. DanTheMan474 (talk) 20:22, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
