There are currently four business routes of U.S. Route 175 that are designated and maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The business routes in the US state of Texas are traditionally short spurs or loops that connect the main route, in this case, U.S. Route 175 (US 175), to the center or commercial district of a city. The routes commonly follow the course of a decommissioned state highway, or the old course of the main route. Business routes are signed with the traditional US 175 highway shield, and with a small "business plate" placed above the marker. TxDOT regards business routes as official highways, and is responsible for the maintenance of the route.
Business US Route 175-B (Bus. US 175-B) is a former business loop of US 175 that served the town of Crandall.
Bus. US 175-B began at an intersection with the eastbound frontage road of US 175 just east of that highway's interchange with FM 741. The highway traveled south along Main Street, then turned east onto Trunk Street. Bus. US 175-B continued to run along Trunk Street before terminating at its parent route near FM 148.
Bus. US 175-B was designated in 1991 when Loop 219 was re-designated.[3] The highway was cancelled and removed from the state highway system in 2002.
Business US Route 175-D (Bus. US 175-D) is a business loop of US 175 that serves the town of Kemp.
Bus. US 175-D begins at an intersection with US 175 in northern Kemp. The highway travels in a southern direction along Elm Street, intersecting FM 1895 and FM 1391 near the center of the town. Bus. US 175-D intersects SH 274 in southern Kemp then ends at the eastbound US 175 frontage road.
Bus. US 175-D was designated in 1990 when Loop 346 was re-designated.[5]
