State Highway 78 (SH-78) is a state highway in Idaho from SH-55 in Marsing to I-84 Business Loop in Hammett

Route description

SH-78 starts at the intersection with SH-55 in Marsing and provides access to sites south of the Snake River from there to Bruneau and a few along the north side via SH-167 from Grand View. SH-78 provides access to Bruneau Dunes State Park and itself crosses the Snake into Elmore County before reaching its eastern terminus at Hammett.[1]

History

The basic route of today's SH-78 from Marsing to Bruneau was in place as early as the mid-1930s, mostly as unimproved roads with a few all-weather gravel segments near Bruneau, Grand View and north of Murphy (a segment originally part of SH-45), and some paved segments near Marsing as of the 1937 map.[2]

gollark: Yes, there is (I don't think it's fully reliable though), but they shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

gollark: They literally added code to their drivers to make consumer cards' drivers not function in VMs, so that people would have to buy more expensive cards for no good reason.

gollark: Well, thanks to AMD being less evil, on Linux the drivers are just built into the kernel or something and work with basically no hassle.

gollark: Nvidia's drivers are worse. They try and push you into this "GeForce Experience" thing or something, work poorly on Linux, and deliberately don't work in VMs because Nvidia is Nvidia.

gollark: Better in what way?
