The ArDOT maintains Highway 141 like all other parts of the state highway system. As a part of these responsibilities, the department tracks the volume of traffic using its roads in surveys using a metric called
average annual daily traffic (AADT). ArDOT estimates the traffic level for a segment of roadway for any average day of the year in these surveys. As of 2019, AADT was estimated on the longer segment as 14,000 vehicles per day (VPD) near the southern terminus and 260 VPD near the northern terminus. The AADT on the Jonesboro section was 6000 VPD. For reference, the
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), classifies roads with fewer than 400 vehicles per day as a
very low volume local road. No segment of Highway 263 has been listed as part of the
National Highway System,
Jonesboro The Highway 141 designation and state maintenance begin on Culberhouse Street in
Jonesboro in
Craighead County. It runs north as a two-lane
section line road, passing
Craighead Forest Park and residential parts of Jonesboro, with homes growing increasingly dense as the road travels north. Highway 141 terminates at Parker Road, a
frontage road for
Interstate 555/
US 49/
US 63/
AR 18.
Jonesboro to McDougal The Highway 141 designation begins in Jonesboro as
Main Street at a bridge over a
rail yard where a
One-way pair of roads (Main Street and Union Street) combine north of downtown Jonesboro. At the north end of the bridge, Highway 141 intersects
Highway 91 (Johnson Avenue) then continues north through a residential area of the city. Highway 91 crosses Lost Creek Ditch before curving
one block and becoming
Church Street. The road continues north, passing the
Jonesboro Math and Science Magnet School, crossing Culberhouse Lateral, and running through a neighborhood known as
Philadelphia before leaving the city limits of Jonesboro and entering a rural part of Craighead County. Shortly upon entering Greene County, Highway 141 serves the entrance drive (unsigned
AR 600) to
Lake Frierson State Park, and runs along the park's eastern boundary. After crossing
Big Creek, Highway 141 has a junction with
Highway 168 near
Lorado, with a
concurrency forming northbound. Highway 141, Highway 168, and Crowley's Ridge Parkway continue together northbound through a rural part of Crowley's Ridge, serving as the western terminus of
Highway 358, passing through
Ebenezer, and serving the
Mt. Zion Baptist Camp. The concurrency ends upon reaching
Walcott, with Highway 141 turning left and Highway 168 and the Parkway designation continuing northeast toward
Crowley's Ridge State Park. Continuing west, Highway 141 turns north to become a section line road through a sparsely populated agricultural area, briefly serving as the western boundary of Crowley's Ridge State Park before intersecting
US Highway 412 (US 412). Highway 141 continues north, bridging Old Sugar Creek, turning in
Stanford, crossing Lick Creek, and intersecting
Highway 34 in
Beech Grove. North of this junction, Highway 141 winds to the northeast, roughly paralleling the
Cache River and serving as the northwestern edge of the
W.E. Brewer Scatter Creek Wildlife Management Area (WMA) before reaching
Hooker, where it junctions with
Highway 135, which carries the Crowley's Ridge Parkway designation southbound. Highway 141 takes the Parkway designation northbound from this junction into
Clay County. Highway 141 winds north through the unincorporated community of
Knob, where it passes a
historic schoolhouse listed on the
National Register of Historic Places, before forming a concurrency with
Highway 90 toward
Boydsville. In Boydsville, Highway 141 and Crowley's Ridge Parkway turn north from Highway 90 and begin running as a section line road to the small town of
McDougal south of the
Missouri state line. In McDougal, Highway 141 terminates at an intersection with
US 62 (Dale Street), with the Parkway designation following US 62 eastbound. ==History==
