Creation: Appeared in Sept 1982 (CTB) as a renumbering of part of US 360. Virginia had requested this route be designated US 360 ALT but was denied by AASHTO. This is the only VA 360.
| Adjustments: None Improvements: Paved upon inception; some of the VA 293 multiplex is multilaned Posting: Fully posted; For a number of years VA 360 was not posted from US 360 WB at the VA 344-360 jct. I'm guessing that was to avoid confusing motorsits which begs why they didn't just choose a different number (see below). In the late 2000s, VA 360 was posted in a way to differentiate between VA 360 and US 360. Multiplexes: VA 293 (0.70 mi) US 501 (0.78 mi) Legislative names: JEB Stuart Highway (entire route; 3-14-28 designation predates VA 360) Other names: N. Main St/Richmond Blvd (Danville); Old Richmond Rd (Pittsylvania Co); Mountain Rd (Halifax Co w of US 501); Main St (501 duplex); Bethel Rd (501 to US 360/VA 344) Scenic Byway: None Comment: VA 360 has numerous 35 mph curves on its western third which is probably why US 360 was taken off of it. Not sure why given Virginia's preference that this simply didn't become VA 360 ALT. Otherwise, in Mapmikey's (and Froggie agrees) opinion, VA 360 would be better numbered as any of the following: VA 344 ext, VA 92 ext, VA 41 ext, VA 86 ext, VA 413 ext, VA 51 ext, or even VA 12 (which it once was).
