US 54

U.S. Route 54 (US 54) is an east–west US Highway originating in the El Paso metropolitan area in western Texas and crossing eastern New Mexico, the Texas panhandle, the Oklahoma panhandle, southern Kansas, and central Missouri in American Truck Simulator. It runs from Interstate 10 and US 180 in El Paso near the Mexican border to Kingdom City in central Missouri.

US 54 in New Mexico is signed north–south throughout the state despite being nationally an east–west highway due to its physical orientation from the Texas state line between El Paso and Alamogordo to the Texas state line between Tucumcari and Dalhart, although some signs along the route are signed east–west from Vaughn to the Texas state line northeast of Tucumcari. The highway, along with US 62 and US 180, also travels through two portions of Texas, separated by the portion in New Mexico.

In real-life, US 54 spans a total length of 1,197 miles (1,926 km) from El Paso, Texas to Griggsville, Illinois.

Course

US 54 beings in El Paso, Texas, as a controlled access highway at a complex interchange with Interstate 10 known as El Paso's "Spaghetti Bowl". The route travels north while it leaves the city, serving several major streets. At 37 miles (59 kilometers) north from its western terminus, US 54 passes by the neighborhood of Newman in the far northeast of El Paso, where the known landmark of "The Edge of Texas" is located.

Right after passing by Newman, US 54 enters New Mexico and traces through the Chihuahuan Desert as the runs towards the north and reaches the city of Alamogordo. There, it runs a short concurrency with US 70, bypassing the city to the east, and intersects US 82 to the north. US 54 continues north and enters Tularosa, where the 70 ends its concurrency with the route. The highway runs withing the central portion of the state, passing through Carrizozo and intersecting US 380. The route then travels a northeast-ward course across the central portion of the state, passes through Corona, and enters Vaughn. Just west of Vaughn, US 54 runs a concurrency with US 60 and US 285 through the city; soon afterwards, the 285 ends the concurreny at the southern limits of Vaughn, and a weigh station is also presented there. The 54 traces east, while it still follows US 60 for a short distance until it ends its concurreny with the highway east of the city. US 54 resumes its northeasterly run across the state, passes by Pastura to the east, and enters Santa Rosa, where it starts its concurrency with Interstate 40. The route also follows a short concurrency with US 84 through the city. As the 54 runs with I-40, the route passes by the Pajarito Rest Area, and then it runs through Tucumcari. In the city, US 54 ends its concurrency with I-40 and runs northeast through the town of Logan.

As it enters Texas for the second time, the surrounding terrain of US 54 transitions to the Great Plains as it enters Dalhart through several farmlands in the Texas panhandle. The route enters the city of Dalhart and intersects US 87 and US 385 altogether. Beyond the city limits, US 54 approaches Spur 24 northeast of Dalhart and continues to travel to the northeast towards the border town of Texhoma.

Halfway through Texhoma, US 54 enters the panhandle of Oklahoma, expanding into a four-lane highway across the region; soon afterwards, it enters the city of Guymon, where it intersects US 64, US 412, SH-3, and SH-136, all of which run a concurrency with US 54 through the city.

Continuing northeast from Guymon the route enters Kansas near the town of Liberal, where it intersects with US 83. US 54 continues east to Greensburg, where it becomes concurrent with US 400. US 54 continues to Cunningham before entering Wichita, the only major city in Kansas which is served by US 54. US 54 then departs from US 400 east of Wichita, where it turns north into the town of El Dorado before continuing its eastern path through the state. US 54 passes through Yates Center before reaching Fort Scott and US 69 on the eastern edge of the state.

From Fort Scott, US 54 proceeds into Missouri, connecting with Interstate 49 in the town of Nevada. The route continues east through Collins and past Osage Beach and Lake Ozark before passing by the state capitol: Jefferson City. From here, US 54 continues northeast for a short distance to Kingdom City, where the route meets Interstate 70 and US 40 and terminates in American Truck Simulator.
