→State Route 8 (SR-8) is a state highway in the southwestern portion of the U.S. state of Utah, running entirely within Washington County, in St. George. The route connects SR-18 to Dixie Downs Road via Sunset Boulevard in a span of 1.3 miles (2.09 km). Prior to 1999, SR-8 extended north to Snow Canyon State Park. However, the route was truncated to its current point that year.

Route description [link]
SR-8 begins at SR-18 on the northwestern side of St. George and heads west-southwest through a residential portion of the city on Sunset Boulevard as a four-lane undivided highway. Past Westridge Drive, the road straightens out to the west and soon terminates at Dixie Downs Road.[2]
History [link]
SR-8 was added to the state highway system in 1910,[3] and in the 1920s it became part of US-91.[4] After the new alignment of I-15 was built south from St. George, old US-91 southwest of SR-18, including present SR-8, was removed from the state highway system in 1974.[3]
State Route 300 was designated in 1972 to serve Snow Canyon State Park, running from SR-18 south to the southern boundary of the park.[5] In 1991, the Utah Transportation Commission passed a resolution to create a new State Route 8, pending roadway improvements, which would absorb the entire length of SR-300, and continue south through Ivins on Center Street and 200 East and southeast on Santa Clara Drive and Sunset Boulevard (old US-91) back to SR-18. Sunset Boulevard between SR-18 and Dixie Downs Road was so improved and added to the state highway system in 1996, and at that time SR-300 was renumbered as a second piece of SR-8. As requested by the Utah Division of Parks and Recreation so they could carry out their resource management plan, the latter portion was removed from the state highway system in 1999, leaving only the present extent of SR-8.[6]
Major intersections [link]
The entire route is in St. George, Washington County.

Tennessee State Route 300
State Route 300 (abbreviated SR 300) is a four-lane controlled-access expressway inside of Memphis, Tennessee that goes from Interstate 40 to U.S. Highway 51. SR 300 is unsigned throughout its length except on mileposts. The exit signs on I-40 just refer to SR 300 as Exit 2A going to Highway 51 and Millington. SR 300 carries a 55 mph (89 km/h) speed limit. Local media sometimes refers to this short route as the "101 Connector", its former federal aid urban designation (U-101 connector).I-69 overlaps TN 300 for its entire length. It is to be soon erased from the highway system as Interstate 69 will take it over
History
SR 300 was originally part of an abortive effort in the 1960s to build an expressway connecting the northern portion of the then Interstate 240 to Mud Island. Ghost ramps and abandoned grading for this expressway still exist at the current western terminus of SR 300 at U.S. Highway 51 and also at Interstate 40 Exit 1 in downtown Memphis.
Future
SR 300 is slated to be signed as part of the proposed Interstate 69. In November 2004, the Tennessee Department of Transportation announced alternative A-1 (SIU 9) as the preferred alignment of future Interstate 69 through the Memphis area which will include SR 300.
Ohio State Route 300
State Route 300 (SR 300, OH 300) is a 6.33-mile (10.19 km) long north–south state highway in northwestern Ohio, a U.S. state. The southern terminus of SR 300 is at a T-intersection with U.S. Route 6 (US 6) approximately 1.50 miles (2.41 km) west of the village of Helena. Its northern terminus is at US 20 just over 2.50 miles (4.02 km) southeast of Woodville.
SR 300 is a two-lane highway that provides access to the village of Gibsonburg from both US 6 and US 20. When first designated in the early 1930s, SR 300 only connected US 20 to Gibsonburg. Later in that decade, it would be extended south to link the village with US 6.
