Found a curiousity in Portsmouth. There are two signs for a US23Bus. As southbound US23 turns down 10th, there's a sign here for US23Bus to go straight down Chillicothe St, and there is also one about a block before that warning of the approach (that sign is not shown in GMSV). That would form a business route in between the US23 couplets between 10th and 2nd. There is no corresponding signage northbound from the Ohio river bridge, nor is there signage on the route itself. Not sure if two signs warrants inclusion, but I'd figure I'd mention it.

I looked at that route back when Portsmouth was being mapped. The business route is not documented in OHDOT docs, so the signs are most likely city erected. In the CHM, the business route would run on the same line as the mainline and would have created a false multiplex, so we left it out.
Now, the route could be added with a hidden point to break the false multiplex. I wish there was more signage or documentation.

This has been discussed in TM and it seems that it is unlikely to be added, for the reasons Dave put forward. I've been there myself and can confirm that it's only marked southbound.

Ready to lock.
