In the [United States](/source/United_States), a **legislative route** (**LR**) or **legislative highway** is a [highway](/source/Highway) defined by [laws](/source/Law) passed in a [state](/source/U.S._state) [legislature](/source/Legislature).[1] The numbering of such highways may or may not correspond to the numbers familiar to the public as part of the state, [U.S. highway](/source/U.S._highway), and [Interstate highway](/source/Interstate_highway) systems.[2] Legislative routes may be composed of several such roads, and conversely, state, U.S., and Interstate highways may be made up of several legislative routes. [Minnesota](/source/Minnesota) also had highways defined in an amendment to the [Minnesota State Constitution](/source/Minnesota_State_Constitution) in 1920, and those roads are known as [constitutional routes](/source/Legislative_route_(Minnesota)).[3]
