| Unlike US 75 in Minnesota, whose signage did not change after the border crossing was closed, MB 75 was truncated to Route 200 in Emerson, aka the point MaiSt. In fact, a few hundred yards past the intersection the road is blocked off. |

| There is a disconnect between MB75 and US75, rendering the border point for MB75 obsolete? |

Depends how you define "disconnect". The roadway is still there, but the border crossing closed permanently a few years ago.

Yes.

To do:
Remove border point on the MB 75 file.
Rename all ProRd123 points as MBS123 points, to match the Secondary Highway shield.
Petition the Provencial government to decommission MB 75 and route MB 29 to MB 100.  |

Wouldn't MB123 be sufficient? Or are there numeric overlaps between the 2 systems, a la Texas?

| There might not be. I think MB 100 and 101 are the only two 3-digit primary highways. |
