The following is a list of state highways in Arkansas. The state does not use a numbering convention. Generally the two-digit odd numbered highways run north-south with a few exceptions; and even-numbered two-digit state highways run east-west with a few exceptions.
Arkansas has long had a stigma of poor roads. The state has received the designation of "worst roads in America" from several publications.Interstate 30 and Interstate 40 had historically drawn the most ire from truckers nationwide until a large construction plan was completed on I-40. The rationale for this is rooted deep in Arkansas history, primarily sprouting from the state's insistence on using "road districts" rather than a state highway commission, and a lack of comprehensive state highway plan until the formation of the State Highway Commission in 1923.

International Highways (Ukraine) - are the roads in Ukraine on the route involving international transport corridors and/or highways that are part of the European network. The international highways in Ukraine are identified with letter M for the Ukrainian transliteration (Mizhnarodni), followed by double digit 01 through 23. Usually freeways their major routes detour highly congested areas such as cities, however these highways also might have some branches with the same identification signs posted while going through such congested areas.
There are 23 international highways of Ukraine with their total length reaching 8,080.1 km (5,020.7 mi). Those highways cover 5% of all highways in the country. In the following list all lengths are given by the major route. When branches (or exits) are mentioned and added to the length, the total length then measured including the whole network, not as an alternative route. (compare to business route)
Arkansas (i/ˈɑːrkənsɔː/) is a state located in the Southern region of the United States. Its name is of Siouan derivation, denoting the Quapaw Indians. The state's diverse geography ranges from the mountainous regions of the Ozark and the Ouachita Mountains, which make up the U.S. Interior Highlands, to the densely forested land in the south known as the Arkansas Timberlands, to the eastern lowlands along the Mississippi River and the Arkansas Delta. Known as "the Natural State", Arkansas has many diverse regions that offer residents and tourists a variety of opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Arkansas is the 29th largest in square miles and the 33rd most populous of the 50 United States. The capital and most populous city is Little Rock, located in the central portion of the state, a hub for transportation, business, culture, and government. The northwestern corner of the state, including the Fayetteville–Springdale–Rogers Metropolitan Area and Fort Smith metropolitan area, is also an important population, education, and economic center. The largest city in the eastern part of the state is Jonesboro. The largest city in the southeastern part of the state is Pine Bluff.
"Arkansas", written by Eva Ware Barnett in 1916, is one of the official state songs of Arkansas. It was first adopted as the state song in the early 20th century, but was removed in 1949 due to a copyright dispute. After the state settled the dispute by buying all claims to its copyright, it was restored as state song in 1963.
In 1987, the General Assembly elevated the song to "state anthem" in order to designate "Arkansas (You Run Deep In Me)" and "Oh, Arkansas", both written for the state's 150th birthday in 1986, as state songs; it also designated "The Arkansas Traveler", the state song from 1949 to 1963, as "state historical song".
Another 1987 law requires the Secretary of State to respond to all requests for copies of the "state song" with this song. However, this was done only to preserve the historical status of this song; all four songs are either copyrighted by the state itself or in the public domain. Today, the Secretary of State posts the lyrics to all four songs on its website.
