Several special routes of U.S. Route 231 exist and have existed in the past. In order from south to north, these special routes of U.S. Route 231 (US 231) are as follows.
U.S. Route 231 Business (US 231 Bus.) is a business route of and an original alignment of US 231 in Dothan, Alabama. The route overlaps US 431 Bus., as well as Alabama State Route 1 (SR 1) and SR 53.
US 231 Bus./US 431 Bus. begins as a continuation along SR 1 (South Oates Street) at the Ross Clark Circle (SR 210), where mainline US 231 moves to the west and US 431 begins at the east. Immediately after the circle, the routes curve from straight north to northeast. The road briefly curves straight north between West Carroll Street/East Carroll Street and South Alice Street, then runs northeast again. At East Cottonwood Road it is joined by SR 53, and all four routes run straight north, only to make a slight north-northwest turn at Washington Avenue. After crossing a bridge over a railroad line, it intersects US 84 Bus./SR 12/SR 52 (West and East Main Street), where South Oates Street becomes North Oates Street.
