So I'm taking a look at the AL US 29 listing on my lunch break to see if any changes/corrections are needed before I move on to the next list, and I've come upon the issue of what to do with a small route in Union Springs, AL.

James already labeled the appropriate points on the main US 29 list as AL 197, which is ALDOT's official designation for the route in question. However, I know from personal experience that it's actually signed as TRUCK US 29, not AL 197, in the field.

So the question is should we include this "TRUCK US 29", even though it's not official?

Honestly, I think we should. I mean, I know of only one officially approved Truck route by the AASHTO. And that's the Truck US-19 here in Pittsburgh.

Truck and also Spur routes seem to be rather nationally unofficial, as James hinted. If it's a signed route from end to end, I'd add it.
