Jump:    NC 31    |    NC 59    |    NC 264


Route:

Ran over today's Leesville Rd. and was multiplexed with US 15A (today's NC 50) into downtown Raleigh.  Was replaced with US 70A around 1938.

Route:

Ran from Western Blvd. (former Business 64) to Central Prison along Boylan Ave and Mountford Ave.  That's it.  Apparently some smart employee of the DOT decided that having a numbered road less than a mile long was stupid.  That's about the only intelligent decision that has been made at the DOT since then.

Route:

Original number for US 401 -- the entire route.  59 is now used for a small road near Fayetteville.

Route:

Was the original number for various parts of NC 96 and NC 98.  It was just an extension of US 264 from Zebulon through Wake Forest and on to Durham.  Whether this was ever planned to actually become US 264 is unknown, but this was the only route to break the route-duplication rule (no US and state highways can have the same number) from the 1934 great renumbering through the I-73/74 fiasco in the late '90s.
