BREAKING NEWS! Hwy 54 is an even numbered highway, thus it is EAST and WEST, not "northbound". "Can't you just read the sign" (song lyrics).

100% correct fish. The whole of highway 54 is east/west ,however, that section of highway does travel in a north/south direction, well more like a NE/SW direction, according to a compass. Semantics.
