is a numbered State Highway running 12.1 miles in
Rhode Island .
Route 101 takes the following route through the State:
Before
1934 , Route 101 ran along present-day
US 44 .
Until
2003 , eastbound signage clearly showed Route 101 beginning concurrent with the
US 6 Bypass, from the eastern split of
US 6 Business (Danielson Pike) and
US 6 Bypass in
Scituate . Signage westbound at that intersection has now been changed to say "TO Route 101", leading to the belief that the western terminus is now the split between Hartford Pike and the
US 6 Bypass, where the concurrency ended.
Route 101 passes near
Jerimoth Hill , the highest point in
Rhode Island .
