===Westchester designation=== The southernmost portion of the parkway in Westchester, south of the Sprain, is internally designated as NY 907G, an unsigned [[reference route (New York)|reference route]],<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/structures/repository/manuals/inventory/appendix_g_named_roads_april05.pdf |title=Bridge Inventory Manual – Appendix G: State Touring Route Numbers for Named Roads |publisher=New York State Department of Transportation |date=April 2005 |access-date=April 1, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304120350/https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/structures/repository/manuals/inventory/appendix_g_named_roads_april05.pdf |archive-date=March 4, 2016 }}</ref> in apparent violation of the numbering standard. Ordinarily, the second digit should be the region. [[New York City]] and [[Long Island, New York|Long Island]], regions 10 and 11, share 0; Westchester is region 8 (the [[Hutchinson River Parkway]] also shares this oddity). The section south of here is marked only with reference markers, and the section north only with county mileposts. This middle section has county mileposts in the middle, and reference markers with state mileposts (counting from the southern terminus in the Bronx, not the city line) alongside. However, Reference Route 907G is no longer listed in the NYSDOT traffic counts<ref name=2014tdr/> and the entirety of the parkway in the county is considered a county route by Westchester County.<ref>{{cite map |url=http://www.westchestergov.com/planningdocs/pdfmaps/countystateroadsparks.pdf |format=PDF |title=Westchester County, New York County and State Roads and Parks |publisher=[[Westchester County, New York|Westchester County]] Department of Public Works |date=February 2010 |access-date=March 18, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091229022214/http://www.westchestergov.com/planningdocs/pdfmaps/countystateroadsparks.pdf |archive-date=December 29, 2009 }}</ref> The parkway was documented by the [[Historic American Engineering Record]] in 2001.
