  • US Highways 400 and 412 are similar violations of the standard numbering scheme.

US 425 is really related to US 65 and US 165. It is hard to understand why this route wasn't instead numbered as "U.S. Highway 265", which would be more consistent with the traditional numbering plan of the US Highway System. It may have been due to a desire on the part of the Arkansas authorities to avoid possible confusion or renumbering of Arkansas State Highway 265.
