Farm to Market Roads in Texas are owned and maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). ==FM 2890== Farm to Market Road 2890 (FM 2890) is a farm-to-market road located in the western and central portions of Delta County in the U.S. state of Texas. The highway is approximately in length, and travels through mainly rural areas between the communities of West Delta and Klondike. FM 2890 begins at an at-grade intersection with State Highway 24 (SH 24) in the small unincorporated community of West Delta. The highway intersects several small roads and passes many houses, as it exits West Delta. The road continues eastward, passing through rural areas and continuing past several houses and small roads. The roadway proceeds eastward, bending slightly southward and passing a small, unnamed cemetery. As it bends northeast, the highway passes a few small houses before entering the community of Klondike, where it terminates at an intersection with FM 1528. The highway is maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Part of the job of the TxDOT is to measure traffic along the highway. These counts are taken using a metric called annual average daily traffic (AADT). This is a statistical calculation of the average daily number of vehicles that travel along a portion of the highway. The TxDOT usually measures AADT near an intersection. In 2011, the highest traveled point along FM 2890 was at the intersection with FM 1528, with a count of 310 vehicles. The lowest traveled point was at an intersection with SH 24, with a count of 260 vehicles. The highest count was a slight increase from the previous year, when the measure was 290 vehicles. No portion of the highway is listed on the National Highway System, a network of roads important to the country's economy, defense, and mobility. The first road appeared in the location of FM 2890 between the years of 1936 and 1940. This road followed the approximate route of FM 2890, and had a graded and drained gravel surface. The road was approximately in length. By 1951, a small bridge had been constructed over a creek in Klondike, and the highway had been slightly straightened, at a length of . By 1956 the road's surface had been improved to crushed stone. By 1964, the highway's surface had been improved to bituminous, a combination of crushed rock and asphalt. The route had also been minorly straightened. On May 6, 1964, FM 2890 was designated by Texas Transportation Commission along its present route. The designation was approved by the TxDOT's Administration Circle on June 1, 1964.〔 The entire length of the highway was paved by 1987. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Farm to Market Roads in Texas (2800–2899)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
