US 60

U.S. Route 60 (US 60) is an east–west United States Highway in central Arizona, New Mexico, northern Texas, and Oklahoma in American Truck Simulator. The route is separated into eight sections: The first section runs from US 93 in Wickenburg to SR 303 in Phoenix. The second section runs entirely concurrent with Interstate 17, from exit 201 to exit 199, in Phoenix. The third section runs from Interstate 10 and AZ 51 in Phoenix to Interstate 25 in Socorro. The fourth section runs from US 54 and US 285 in Vaughn to US 87 in Amarillo. The fifth section runs from US 83 between Shamrock and Canadian to US 83 north of Canadian, concurrent with the latter route. The sixth section runs from US 412 and SH-8 east of Enid to northwestern Enid, concurrent with US 412 and US 81. The seventh section is located at exit 214 (Tonkawa / Ponca City) on the Oklahoma section of Interstate 35 and contains three service stations. The eighth section starts at an unknown point concurrent with US 69 and is signed as exiting at the cloverleaf interchange; US 69 continues north while US 60 continues into Missouri. The highway is likely to continue in some fashion in the Missouri DLC.

In real life, US 60 spans a total length of 2,655 miles (4,273 km) from Interstate 10 east of Quartzsite, Arizona to Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Course

US 60 begins at its junction with US 93 in Wickenburg and runs a short distance through the Sonoran Desert to AZ 303, where its westernmost segment ends. The highway resumes unsigned, at exit 201 of Interstate 17 in Phoenix, and follows I-17 to the south, intersecting Interstate 10 and ending its unsigned section at exit 199 of the same highway designation within the same name of the city. The signed portion of the highway resumes at Interstate 10 in eastern Phoenix, where it climbs between the red buttes of the Superstition Mountains to Globe. There, it meets US 70 at its western terminus, SR 77 and following a concurrency with SR 77 to the north, where it soon crosses the Salt River Canyon, a section of road with steep grades and tight switchbacks. In the south of the Colorado Plateau, the highway reaches Show Low, where it resumes its eastward trend; it is here that AZ 77 ends its concurrency with the highway, heading north to Holbrook. The highway soon intersects with US 191, which begins a short concurrency that ends in Springerville, the middle of this concurrency featuring a weigh station.

Out of Springerville, the highway enters New Mexico, where it soon passes through the town of Quemado, which offers travel services. Passing through the forest, the highway crosses the Great Continental Divide, and descends into a broad, open valley, where it passes through the Very Large Array, a massive grouping of 28 radio telescopes used to make observations of the universe. Passing Box Canyon, the highway descends to Socorro and Interstate 25, where there currently exists a gap between the interstate and Vaughn. After intersecting with US 54 and 285, the highway proceeds through the plains past Yeso (which features a rest area), and intersects with US 84 at Fort Sumner. After another rest area, the highway reaches Clovis, where it intersects with US 70 and follows a concurrency with this designated highway to Texico.

As soon as the highway crosses into Texas, it runs through Farwell to the north and heads northeast across the Llano Estacado in the northern part of the state. The highway soon passes through Bovina, and as it continues northeast, it enters Canyon, where it intersects Interstate 27 and US 87 altogether; soon afterwards, the three highways run concurrently together into Amarillo, intersecting Interstate 40 and US 287. The northern terminus of I-27 is met here, while US 87 and 287 follow US 60 into downtown Amarillo. The highways experience a left-driving configuration as they enter downtown; however, eastbound US 60 ends here, while the westbound portion follows Pierce Street with traffic directed towards the south on the one-way street. US 60 reaches another gap in the route after passing by a railway complex to the west; where US 87 leaves the concurrency and heads northwest to Dalhart. The highway resumes at the junction with US 83 and SH 33 and follows a concurrency with the 83 north into Canadian; north of town, a fifth gap is in the course of the highway.

At the Cimarron River in northern Oklahoma, near the Petrolucent oil well to the north and Gloss Mountain State Park to the west, US 60 resumes its course on US 412, following a concurrency with the latter route, into the city of Enid. In Enid, the 60 then follows US 81 to the north until reaching another gap at West Willow Road, in the northeastern part of the city.

At some point during version 1.51, a new I-35 interchange was added. This interchange, Exit 214 for Tonkawa and Ponca City, requires both the Oklahoma and Kansas DLC and features nothing more than three truck stops. This is actually a very small disconnected stretch of US 60. The route terminates in both directions from the interchange.

The route mysteriously picks up again at some point along the US 69 alignment in eastern Oklahoma. The T intersection with US 69 does not exist, nor does any other visible access point, so the actual start point is unknown. The highway splits at a cloverleaf interchange where US 59 also quietly joins and runs concurrent heading north before itself disappearing before Miami.

US 60 may continue into Missouri, where a concurrency with Interstate 57 is possible.

History

• In the initial version of the Arizona map expansion DLC, US 60 began at a four-way stack interchange with Interstate 10 and Interstate 17 in eastern Phoenix and ended in Show Low.

• In update 1.5, as part of the 1:35 to 1:20 map rescale, the eastern terminus of US 60 in eastern Phoenix now only terminates with Interstate 10. On the rest of the route, a gas station was added in the Salt River Canyon.

• In update 1.29, the separate section of US 60 from US 93 in Wickenburg to Loop 303 was added.

• In the initial version of the New Mexico map expansion DLC, the section of US 60 from Show Low to Interstate 25 in Socorro and from US 54 in Vaughn to Clovis was added.

• In update 1.31, the junction with US 84 in Fort Sumner was added.

• In update 1.32, Springerville and a junction with US 191 was added.

• In update 1.35, SR 51 was added at the four-way stack interchange with Interstate 10 in Phoenix.

• In update 1.38, the junction with US 180 and US 191 east of Springerville was added.

• In the initial version of the Texas map expansion DLC, the section of US 60 from Clovis to US 87 in Amarillo was added.

• In the initial version of the Oklahoma map expansion DLC, the sections of US 60 through Canadian, concurrent with US 83, and from US 412 and SH-8 west of Enid to northwestern Enid was added.
