A total of twelve special routes of U.S. Route 79 exist, divided between the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee and Texas. Currently, they are all business routes, except for one bypass of Humboldt, Tennessee, and one bypass of Homer, Louisiana.

Business U.S. Highway 79-B begins at the intersection of mainline US 79 and SH 95 in southern Taylor. The business route travels northward along Main Street, concurrent with SH 95, and intersects FM 112. It then turns to the east along 4th Street to rejoin mainline US 79 at the city limits.

The business route through Taylor was originally designated in 1966 as Loop 427; by 1972, the route had been designated to serve as a full loop around the city. What is now currently mainline US 79 in southern Taylor was originally part of the loop route, and the designations would be switched in 1978. The designation was changed from Loop 427 in 1991, and the western segment along 2nd St was replaced with the segment concurrent with SH 95 in 2002.
