In the United States, a legislative route (LR) or legislative highway is a highway defined by laws passed in a state legislature.{{cite web |title=ARTICLE 3.

Minnesota also had highways defined in an amendment to the Minnesota State Constitution in 1920, and those roads are known as constitutional routes.{{cite web |title=161.114 Constitutional trunk highways |url=https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/161.114 |website=Minnesota Legislature |access-date=January 16, 2021}}
