Route 66 is similar to other old roads, but is more popular because of all of the hype"This decertified chunk of concrete has done more to sustain itself and evolve than recertifying it will ever do."
You'd risk losing the character & flavor of the old road.
Personally, I don't want it recertified. Like they say, it would lose a lot of what makes it so unique. I wouldn't mind states making it state 66 like they do in Missouri. This way, they would put up more signage.
Right now, only Illinois, Missouri and Kansas have anything approaching the needed amount of signage. Once you get to Oklahoma, its hit-or-miss as to whether or not you're on it.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
