About: U.S. Route 491

An Entity of Type: infrastructure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

U.S. Route 491 (US 491) is a north–south U.S. Highway serving the Four Corners region of the United States. It was created in 2003 as a renumbering of U.S. Route 666 (US 666). With the US 666 designation, the road was nicknamed the "Devil's Highway" because of the significance of the number 666 to many Christian denominations as the Number of the Beast. This Satanic connotation, combined with a high fatality rate along the New Mexico portion, convinced some people the highway was cursed. The problem was compounded by persistent sign theft. These factors led to two efforts to renumber the highway, first by officials in Arizona, then by those in New Mexico. There have been safety improvement projects in recent years, and fatality rates have subsequently decreased.

  • La U.S. Route 491 est une route de région des Four Corners aux États-Unis. La route passe en Arizona, au Nouveau-Mexique et au Colorado mais pas dans l'Utah. Nommée de 1926 à 2003 U.S. Route 666, elle était surnommée la Devil’s Highway (« autoroute du diable ») à cause du nombre de la Bête. Cette connotation satanique, combiné avec un taux de mortalité élevé dans la partie située au Nouveau-Mexique et des vols réguliers de panneaux de signalisation, ont provoqué la renumérotation de l'autoroute en « 491 ». L'autoroute passe par deux montagnes considérées comme sacrées par les Amérindiens : et Shiprock, mais aussi d'autres sites d'intérêt comme le parc national de Mesa Verde. * Portail de l’Arizona * Portail du Nouveau-Mexique * Portail du Colorado * Portail de la route (fr)

There have been safety improvement projects in recent years, and fatality rates have subsequently decreased. The highway, now a spur route of US 91 via its connection to US 191, runs through New Mexico, Colorado and Utah, as well as the tribal nations of the Navajo Nation and Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. The highway passes by two mountains considered sacred by Native Americans: Ute Mountain and an extinct volcanic core named Shiprock. Other features along the route include Mesa Verde National Park and Dove Creek, Colorado, the self-proclaimed pinto-bean capital of the world. (en)
  • 美國491號公路是南北向的公路，是最新設計的高速公路之一，在2003年建造來替代美國公路666。當這條路還是666的時候，他有個暱稱叫作惡魔的高速公路，因為基督徒相信666這個數字代表著野獸的數字。這個撒旦的含義，以及這條路在新墨西哥州的高事故率，讓很多人認為這是一條被詛咒的高速公路。不單單是這個問題，不時的標誌盜竊也是導致為從新更換牌號努力的原因。首先是亞利桑那州州長，然後是新墨西哥州。在換號過程中的安全改進也讓這條路的事故死亡率開始下降。 (zh)
