So this doesn't cause a cluster of threads, any route is accepted :-D.
US 49: There's always a friend doing better than me. (US 51)
US 6: I can do great sometimes, but there's always greater. (US 20)
I-55: I have scoliosis and just look at 55's routing.
US 85: I get used by others (I-25, US 87) but I don't say anything until it's too late.
ADD TO THIS.
US 66: I want to be famous only after my death
^^ wouldn't really describe me, but I'm not that great at giving human traits to roads that that's the only one I can think of.
My avatar, CO5, because I like to climb 14,000 foot mountains.
Chris
NE 2, because I'm snarky.
I-99 because I usually feel out of place.
US Route 99 given it seems to be what most people seem to associate me with. Personally I would probably pick the National Old Trails Road, US Route 66 or Arizona State Route 88. I would say those are more fitting given I lived in Arizona longer than I have lived anywhere else.
I-180 (IL)
Just not needed.
MN 61: People like you, often quite a lot, but there's also an undercurrent of distrust/disconnection that you foster because you struggle to show the people who care that you also care.

Up here I have more of a distain for US-23. Heavy traffic and only four lanes and should have been widened 20 years ago. But I-75 is a major pain in the ass.
At the end of this month I have to fly to Florida and drive a trailer back to Michigan that should be some fun driving through Atlanta and Cincinnati.

CA 38 is alright but it isn't hyper memorable either, especially being next to CA 18.
For my age (18)
US 18: I don't really find anything special about that route, but then again, I haven't been on it outside of the Madison Beltline.
OH 18: One of the longest routes in the state, though isn't really important outside of being a major arterial in Akron.
As of now, my favorite state route numbered 18 is Washington's, but someone can introduce me to other ones.

How about M-18? Nothing REAL special about it but it runs in the central part of the state connecting US-10 with M-72 and in between it connects small towns, state and national forests and skirts the Houghton and Higgins Lake area. The northern part of it is kind of scenic.
Back in the day OH-18 use to extend across the entire state being one of the few Ohio state routes to end at a state line on both ends but it doesn't make it to Pennsylvania anymore.

Well it's more like I want to be something but nobody else actually thinks I'm that something...
But whatever it's fine I don't care.
I'll do one for the age I was for the past year
I-17: you're so gifted that you got like 19 credit hours (194/10 rounded down) from AP exams before entering college, unlike a lot of others starting from 0.
^ I wish that was me lol, but it describes a couple of people in my school.
US-23 a mix of everything. Painful freeway, Urban area, scenic lakeshore drive.

I'm 17 years old, plus I'm an important part of my friend group and family (I-40 and I-10) and I'm a little reserved (not really a commonly talked about interstate), but I'm fine in just being who I am.

I-75: I'm always surrounded by people who don't know how to drive.
My avatar, I-990:
High-up (I'm on the tall side), from New York, I don't meet my parents that often due to COVID (no connection to I-90), and I left a job on 2/6/2003 (northern terminus at NY 263).
I-44 because I wish I got paid any time anyone had to interact with me.

well in that case, i claim colorado's us 50. like me, its wider in some places than it needs to be, is gritty in some places, and beautiful in others. also like me, its often lost in the middle of nowhere, or alternately right in the thick of it.

Well, that answers that question.
If I'm not mistaken, |NE2| named himself after
the Connecticut River Way (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England_road_marking_system#Route_2).
I-895: I blend in to the surroundings and try not to stick out, when I let people in I expect them to stay committed, I rarely use cash anymore, & I've spent the past year trying to improve some things about myself. (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=13902.msg2555025#msg2555025)

Really that's just a popular perception now post-Pure Potholes. Michigan State Trunklines are far from the worst State Highway system out there in the U.S. I would go as far as to say Michigan isn't even in the bottom third anymore.

That's true. Michigan has done a lot in the last decade or so to upgrade the existing roads in the state. They still have more work to be done but a lot of roads are improved. The Interstate in the worst shape I think is I-69 in Flint and south of Lansing for awhile the pavement quality is garbage. Around me they are finally rebuilding I-75 between MM 148 and 150 and rebuilt the M-46 interchange which was about 20 years overdue. I-69 south of Lansing for awhile is getting redone as well.
US 220, people seem to care about me, but I just do not really see it. (I-73, I-74, I-99, I-581, etc.)
Since we did age above, birthday is another possibility.
For mine (316), not that many state route choices, as most are short rural 2 lanes. I'll probably go with Georgia's for this one. China have G316 between Fuzhou and Lanzhou via Wuhan, which may be another choice of mine since it starts in Fuzhou.
Note for other March birthdays: In China's National Highway System (Guodao), equivalent to our US routes, the primary E-W routes are numbered G3xx. There's two long notable routes from Shanghai: G312 (Shanghai to Kazahkstan border), with the nickname of China's Route 66, and G318 (Shanghai to Nepal Border).
NJ 324. Used to be really good at doing things and interacting with a lot of people, but just sits there doing a whole lot of nothing now.
