State highways in North Carolina are owned and maintained by the U.S. state ofNorth Carolina, through theNorth Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT).
When originally established in the 1920s, the state highway system was highly organized: two-digit routes ending in "0" were major cross-state routes, other two digit routes were numbered as spurs off of the main route (that is, Highway 54 would have been a spur off of Highway 50) and lesser important routes were given three digit numbers by appending an extra "ones" digit to the two digit route it branched off of (that is, Highway 541 would have been itself a spur off of Highway 54).
Since its establishment, there have been countless small changes to the state highway numbering system as routes are eliminated, combined, or renumbered. There have been four events that have forced large numbers of routes to be changed: 1933–1934 elimination of duplicate and renumbering of state routes along or that share withU.S. Routes, 1937 renumbering for contiguous routes withSouth Carolina, 1940 renumbering for contiguous routes withVirginia and 1961 renumbering of routes that share withInterstate highways in the state. Because of these renumbering events, the original numbering system has been largely obscured.

North Carolinaalternate routes have been utilized in a multitude of ways, including business, bypass, cut-thru and spurs. After 1960, nearly all have been decommissioned or converted to business loops, and establishing new alternate routes have been prohibited.[50] Today, only three alternate routes are currently active in the state.
