What Interstates Form Your "Home Block"???

[mrcmc888]

I-40/26/75/85.

I-459/65/85/285/20

[Flint1979]

I have no Interstate to my north and the closest one to the west is across Lake Michigan in Wisconsin.

E: I-675 if three digits count, I-75 if not.
S: I-69/I-96
N: I-75 I guess since it curves north of me but it doesn't connect to any other Interstate north of me.
W: I-43 with Lake Michigan in the way.

76/283/83/81/78/476/276

Lots of numbers...

[Buck87]

At my mom's house in NW Columbus (since I am there for the weekend...:
I-70/I-75/I-80&90/I-71/I-270.

Same block as mine, and technically there's a section of it that's not 80 and 90 together, but just 80.

Though like you I'm in a different block than home while traveling for the weekend (for a funeral), so my current block here in Scioto County, Ohio is:

I-64, I-75, I-275, I-71, I-270, I-70, I-77

This doesn't exactly work for me since I live on an island that has only one interstate, I-495, which despite its even first digit is a dead end.

[bassoon1986]

My US block would be: US 165, US 190, US 171, US 84 Business, US 84,  US 84/US 371, US 84/US 71, US 71, US 71/US167, US 71, US 71/ US 165 (whew)

State route block is a bit more challenging to stick to only Louisiana routes. So many of them dead end or have termini at a US route.

LA 1208-3, LA 488, LA 112 as the west border
LA 10, LA 106 to the south
LA 115, LA 1188, LA 114 east side
LA 1 as the north east/ north border

Let's see...Interstate block?

Going clockwise, starting at my 12 o'clock position:

I-294 south
I-57 south*
I-80 west
I-355 north
I-55 north

Up until recently, there was no direct connection between I-294 and I-57, so this segment would have had be skipped to complete the loop.

[US71]

Interstate block wouldn't work for me.

[Roadgeek2500]

Since we're doing US and state routes now:

My US home block would be
US 1 to the south / east
US 202 to the west
US 30 to the north / east

State routes:
PA 352 to the east
PA 3 to the south
PA 100 to the west
PA 401 to the north

[GaryV]

State route is easy:
M-1, M-102, M-53, M-59, back to M-1

US routes are impossible.  That's because there are no US routes east of me or north of me.  Even when US-25 was there, there was still no connecting US route north of me.

[Charles2]

Shelby County, Alabama (20 miles southwest of Birmingham):

Interstate routes:

West: I-20/59
North: I-459
East: I-65
South: I-10 (the nearest E-W route directly south of me is in Mobile...about 245 miles to the south)

U.S. Routes:

West/North: US 11
East: US 31
South: US 82

[intelati49]

Haha... I lived in the 44/35/40/55 block for my first 16 years, moved to the 470/435 block (KC), then I moved to the 49/44/70/55 block.

Interstate block wouldn't work for me.

US71, you're not within the 35-44-55-40 ? Or the 40-30-635-35E-35-240 ?

540 is the only thing close. 40 is 15 miles from me.  30 is 3 hours, 35 is 3 hours.

And if I used US or State routes, you could triangulate on my location which I'd rather not happen.

[Great Lakes Roads]

Let see... since we're doing U.S. and State Routes around our "home block", I might as well as give a shot on it...

U.S. Routes:
1. U.S. Route 35 (to the west)
2. U.S. Route 6 (to the south)
3. U.S. Route 31 (to the east)
4. U.S. Route 20 (to the north)

Total Mileage: 84.5 miles (1 hour 47 minutes to complete that loop)

State Roads (nearly impossible due to Indiana State Route 2 ends at the U.S. 20/31 interchange):
1. Indiana State Route 4
2. Indiana State Route 23
3. Indiana State Route 933
4. Indiana State Road 2 (let's pretend that State Route 2 ends in South Bend as it used to end in downtown South Bend)

Total Mileage: 58 miles (1 hour 28 minutes to complete that loop)

In conclusion:
The "shortest" loop for me is all the state roads...
The "longest" loop for me is all the interstates...

I can't do a US block, since the nearest US routes enter the state well north of my location; there are no actual state highways in my borough, so no state block, either.

I-4, I-95, and I-75 is as close as it gets.  I live in South Orlando, so that is what surrounds me even though 75 and 95 do not touch they do come close to a block surrounding you as possible.

[Finrod]

Like most of North Atlanta, my interstate 'block' is I-75, I-285, I-85, I-26, I-40.  Covers part of four states and an entire national park.  Interstates penetrating it but not making it through are: I-575, I-985, I-185, I-385, I-140.

This block really needs subdividing.  Maybe extend I-24 across north Georgia to Athens to near Augusta to Savannah?

I-4, I-95, and I-75 is as close as it gets.  I live in South Orlando, so that is what surrounds me even though 75 and 95 do not touch they do come close to a block surrounding you as possible.

595 closes your block on the south side.

Here in Orlando area the turnpike feels like an interstate. When I first saw this question I had typed a response with it named, but I had to edit.
.......................................................................
Florida could go a NC with all kinds of interstates or PA "interstating" many toll roads...

Apply for a southern i91 on the Turnpike as an homage to it being unsigned SR 91.

SR417 is i204
SR429 is i404
SR408 is i191

SR528 could be 604 or i495 since it links 95 to Orlando sort of like (the short for time)495 in NC

SR570 is 604 or 804 full slate of even 3dis if 528 became i604

SR618 is i775
SR23 is i310

Just slap a TOLL banner on there

Another interstate could be SR 202 becoming i995 to give a full slate of odd 3di to 95

But really no need for changes.. all the tourists and seniors would be confused..I would not mind but I am not going to FDOT to lobby for the changes

US Highway block:
US 101, US 30, US 197, US 97, US 26

State highway block:
Loop can't be closed without use of US highways.

Combination: OR 213, US 30, OR 281, OR 35, US 26, OR 173, US 26

Bonus:
ORH 2, ORH 64, ORH 26, ORH 68

[Flint1979]

Well since US and state routes look like they are included now.

N: US-10
S: M-58
E: M-84
W: M-47

That pretty much identifies where I live now.

[michravera]

I-5 to the east and that is it in Sherwood. The only other possible argument is I 80 600 miles south but that is really far away.

I am in a similar boat (along with about 10 million other people)

I am west of I-5, South out I-80, and north of I-10. Now I would also be north of I-40, if extended along CASR-58 and CASR-46/41 to the coast.

However, I can be blocked with I-680 to the East and south (or I-280), I-880 to the west, I-80 to the north.

[kkt]

Mine can't be closed by state routes alone.  Using state routes along with Interstates,

west: I-5
north: WA 522
east: I-405
south: WA 520
