High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This road is the third to bear the NC 30 designation. The first was one of North Carolina's original 1922 state highways. As a multiple of "10" it was a major cross-state route, connecting Wilimington to the Virginia state line via Jacksonville, New Bern, Little Washington, and Ashoskie. In 1930, it was extened to South Carolina via Supply. When the U.S. Highways came in 1934-1935, much of it was replaced by US 17. It was rerouted several times in the late 1930's, but was fully gone by 1940. The remnants of the first NC 30 found in eastern Onslow County continue to serve as a key thoroughfare between Jacksonville and Unincorporated Onslow County; the road is known as "Old 30", "Old Highway 30",...

For example, in Washington, a state highway would be referred to as SR 500 (for State Route 500). In Oregon, it could be referred to as OR 18 (for Oregon Route 18), while in Idaho it would be SH-51, short for State Highway. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ferries have always played a vital role to the residents and visitors of Eastern North Carolina. The first ferries began in the mid-1920s when Captain J.B.(Toby)Tillett established a tug and barge service across Oregon Inlet along North Carolina's Outer Banks. In 1934, the North Carolina Highway Commission recognized the importance of this service to residents and began subsidizing Tillett's business. These subsidies kept tolls at an affordable level. In 1942, the Highway Commission began full reimbursement to eliminate the tolls. Tillett was fully subsidized until 1950 when his business was sold to the state. In 1947, the Commission purchased the ferry operations of T.A. Baum, who operated a...
