Question regarding Michigan highway articles

I've been reading some articles on Michigan highways to sate my own curiosity and I've noticed that some of them seem to say that they start in Washington despite the routes being entirely within Michigan. What happened here? Did I miss something? Apologies if this is a dumb question. 2600:1700:9861:3980:240E:1522:13CE:6CE3 (talk) 01:40, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

US 2 does start in Washington state though. It runs, in order, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Wisconsin again, back to Michigan and ends. It resumes in New York and passes through Vermont and New Hampshire before terminating finally in Maine. It's not a Michigan-only highway. We just wrote this article about the segments within the one state. Imzadi 1979 → 03:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
