{{main|List of Arkansas state highways}}
In 1926, the U.S. state of Arkansas renumbered its highways into a more traditional format. The system to be replaced was established in 1924 as Arkansas' first comprehensive highway plan.<ref>McLaren, Christie. "Arkansas Highway History and Architecture, 1910-1965." [http://www.arkansaspreservation.com/pdf/publications/Highway.pdf Article.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110602041840/http://www.arkansaspreservation.com/pdf/publications/Highway.pdf |date=2011-06-02 }} Page 10. Retrieved August 20, 2010.</ref> Roads were designated as "primary federal aid roads", "secondary federal aid roads", or "connecting state roads". The [[Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department|Arkansas State Highway Commission]] implemented the system of [[United States Numbered Highways]] also around 1926, and thus Arkansas decided to number its highways and to drop the 1924 ''letter-number'' format. This resulted in the first true numbering of [[state highway]]s in Arkansas.  The U.S. route designations [[U.S. Route 61 | 61]], [[U.S. Route 63 |63]], [[U.S. Route 64 |64]], [[U.S. Route 65 |65]], [[U.S. Route 67 |67]], [[U.S. Route 70 |70]], [[U.S. Route 71 |71]], [[U.S. Route 165 | 165]], and [[U.S. Route 167 | 167]] would have conflicted with state highway designations, so there were no Arkansas state highways with these numbers. The highest number was 115, with 116 and up reserved for future use.
