1. I got two
California state Hwys 16 and 20. California state hwy 12 is pretty good, too, but I used to drive it daily so the charm mostly disappeared years ago.

20. 16.5 is a perfectly acceptable number.
It's rational, even.

12. There's four all pretty close to each other. 88, 108, 120 and 140.
All lead to Kirkwood, Yosemite and the Sierras. In other words, Heaven! :)

30. I-97 is connected all the way within Maryland, believe it or not.
And covers the long, trecherous 17 mile trek from the Baltimore Beltway to the outskirts of Annapolis.

43. I-68 is the kickass Maryland interstate route.
Edited on Thu Dec-17-09 12:47 PM by arcadian
The best connector from the east coast to the midwest. Avoids that horrible curvy mountain section of I-70/I-76 between Hancock and Pittsburg, and you avoid that truck stop town in Pa. Breezewood.

I-68 is all open road over gentle mountains and nobody is driving it. Jet up to Pa and the next thing you know you are in Ohio. Your other alternative is I-64 through Va and WV. All mountain curvy ass road.

16. I5
=1.25.

And its not my favorite. I dont like highways because other people drive on them. If they would stop that, I might start to enjoy them.

24. I-96 and Michigan-20 - it's a two-way tie
I-96 takes you from Grand Rapids to Lansing and Metro Detroit.

M-20 takes you into Mt. Pleasant.

It's divisible by four! You just end up with a decimal though. That counts!

37. I like I-84 as well...
Although I like the PA-NY-CT-MA version, not the UT-ID-OR version.
There's two I-84s, ya know.

There's nothing spectacular about the Eastern version, and the Western version has much better views, but I'm just partial to East Coast over West Coast.

38. Yeah, Washington State Hwy 14 on the Washington side of the river is even better
but it's not divisible by 4. And speaking of state routes rather than highways and interstates, SR-20 through North Cascades National Park is spectacular.



Right now it's closed for the winter:

(Top center is Early Winters Spires, Liberty Bell Mountain kinda getting cut off on the right.)

35. Formerly US Highway 666 - through NM, Colorado, and parts of Utah
Edited on Thu Dec-17-09 10:32 AM by Rhythm
Renamed US 491, because superstitious idiots pressured it to be renumbered.

46. The one time i drove the length of it... the only remaining road signs i saw
Edited on Thu Dec-17-09 05:11 PM by Rhythm
were in front of the occasional 24-hr gas stations/convenience stores, scary-looking biker bars, or directly inside cities/towns. The rest were all gone.

To be fair, i was looking for one to take home myself... :hide:
Had to settle for a "Devil's Highway" t-shirt, which i think i still have in a box somewhere.

45. Florida State Road 44.
It cuts across the peninsula from the gulf to the ocean, but the stretch between DeLand and New Symnra Beach has always had some good memories attached with it to me.

50. Massachusetts Route 128- America's autobahn
Braintree to Gloucester. Though admittedly you can't floor it often, due to traffic.

But then again, the same is true on the original autobahn
