Closest Highways You Have Lived Near

[Flint1979]

Closest state, US or Interstate highway to where I live would be M-58 which is one mile south of my house. Closest Interstate would be I-675 and the closest US highway would be US-23.

[Bruce]

Under 1,000 ft to the median of I-5

I lived right on a state route when I was younger. Technically the address was for the side road, but the driveway was on the state route.
I don't miss it at all from a quality of life perspective. It was busy and noisy, especially at rush hour, with frequent accidents happening essentially right in the front yard. I do miss the comforting hum of traffic at night, though. I can still sometimes hear traffic in the distance from where I live now, but it's not the same.

County Hiqhway - 15 mi

Huh.  That's pretty far for your nearest county highway.

My nearest signed county highway would be about that far away.

[I-55]

Interstate: I-69
US: US-127
State: KY-92
Parkway: Cumberland
County: A few

[JayhawkCO]

Mine are all less than three blocks away.

Interstate - 3 blocks away,  I-35 in Mission, KS
US Highway - 1 block away, (tie) US59 in Lawrence, KS, US69 in Overland Park, KS
State Highway - 2 blocks away, (tie) CO30 in Aurora, CO, K-10 in Olathe, KS
County Road - My Back Yard Abutted It, Dakota County (Minnesota) 43 in Eagan, MN

Interstate: I-97
US:  US 441
State: FL 188
County: Not motivated to look it up

Interestingly the three results are from three separate former residences.

[DandyDan]

I can look out my window to my apartment and see IA 122.

As for the rest:
Interstate: 2.4 miles from Lincoln Hall, my old dorm at Northern Illinois University, to I-88
US Route: 0.6 miles from where I lived in Cottage Grove, MN to US 61/10.
County: Can't say, as it depends on what each state says a county road is.

[doorknob60]

Interstate: I-84, 700 ft
US: US-30, 700 ft. If you don't want to count that multiplex, US-97 at 2500 ft
State: ID-45, 1900 ft. Honorable mentions to both ID-55 and OR-126, in the 2500 ft range

Also, other than the 2 houses I don't know the exact locations of I lived at from before I was 5 years old (though I do think they were pretty close as well), I've never lived more than about 1.2 miles from a numbered, state maintained, highway.

[SectorZ]

Mine are all from living in Chelmsford MA

I-495, less than a quarter of a mile away
US 3, a few miles northeast of me
MA 110, lived right on it so can't get closer than that

Since I lived in an area with some industry 110 was actually a good deal louder than 495.

[wriddle082]

I lived one block from US 60 in Ashland, KY in the 80's.

In the mid-90's in college I had an apartment that was a few blocks away from US 70N in one direction and TN 135 in another direction in Cookeville, TN.

In the early 00's I rented an apartment that was one mile from I-40 in Nashville.

The house I owned near Kingston Springs, TN from "˜03 to "˜11 was a little less than a mile from US 70.

Right now I'm about 3 miles from the closest signed numbered highway, but my neighborhood is right off of a state secondary road.

[Takumi]

I lived a block from US 1 and 301 as a kid. Today I-95 is maybe half a mile from my house, and 1/301 is a little farther, in the opposite direction.

[bugo]

AR 8, old US 71 and I-44.

My driveway was once on the 2 lane Trans Canada. Now the new 4 lane bypass is on a hill behind the house and I have to go 3 km west to an interchange or 3 km east.

[SectorZ]

An aside from my own story, a former co-worker of mine lived in 5 different places from birth to adulthood all around Worcester, MA. All of them were within 500 feet of US 20, but none were actually on it.

[frankenroad]

I have actually lived on three designated highways.   I currently live on US-127 in Cincinnati.   I live in a high-rise and from my balcony, I can see parts of both I-74 and I-75, but not the actual interchange where they meet. 

I lived for a summer on M-185, and for an academic year on M-43.

I once lived where my yard backed up to a greenbelt that separated our neighborhood from MD-32.  At various points in the early 1980s, I also lived within 1/2 mile of MD-216, I-95, US-40, US-29, MD-174, and the MD-3 freeway which is now I-97.  I moved around a lot in my 20's. 

[Max Rockatansky]

-  US 1 on Cudjoe Key about 300 feet away. 
-  FL 436 on Semoran Boulevard in Orlando about 500 feet away. 
-  US 60 in Tempe about 1,000 feet away.
-  US 27 in Dewitt Township about 1,000 feet away.
-  AZ 101 in Scottsdale about a quarter mile away.
-  US 41 in Chicago about a quarter mile away. 
-  AZ 51 in Phoenix about a half mile away.
-  I-90/94 and I-290 in Chicago about a half mile away. 
-  CA 43 in Hanford about third quarters of a mile away. 
-  I-69 in Dewitt Township about one mile away. 

I want to say that CT 67/133 was about four miles away in New Milford.  It was about four miles to either US 12 or I-275 in Canton Township.  About four miles to US 19 or FL 589 in Spring Hill.  About six miles to M-10 and I-696 in West Bloomfield.  Presently CA 180 is three miles north of me in Fresno.

I live about a mile west of I-55. The closest to a highway I've ever lived is about 500 feet from US 49.

[Buck87]

0.5 miles from the US 20/OH 18 concurrency
5.8 miles from the I-80/I-90 concurrency

Expanding from my reply in the above-thread

Nearest Interstate route: I-95, though the nearest portion wasn't complete until 1988
Nearest US route: US 1
Nearest State route: MA 114 (1965-1967 & resided along this stretch 1976-1990), MA 129 (1967-1976)

During my college years in Bristol, RI (1984-1988)

Nearest Interstate route: I-195
Nearest US route: US 6

My current years in PA (1990-present)

Nearest Interstate route: I-95
Nearest US route: US 13
Nearest State route: PA 420*
*from Oct. 1990 through Jan. 2020, I resided along SR 2017.

[Scott5114]

Interstate: I-40, surprisingly, at 1200 feet from ages to 0 to 6, considering that from ages 6 to 19 I lived 1600 feet from I-35.
US: US-270, since it's concurrent with I-40 there. I currently live a half-mile from US-77, which isn't concurrent with anything, so I feel like that's the "real" answer.
Oklahoma SH: 0.84 mile from SH-9.
Missouri Route: 2 miles from Route 13.

[zzcarp]

Interstate: 1.5 miles east of I-25 in Northglenn, CO 2006-2008
US: 1.5 miles north of US 20 near Wakeman, Ohio
State: I lived on Ohio Route 235 which is Main Street in Ada, Ohio during college.
County: 950 feet east of Simms Street (maintained by Jefferson County, Colorado)

Honorable mention: I grew up 10.8 miles south of US 6 in Ohio, and I currently reside 11.5 miles north of US 6 in Colorado.

[Henry]

All three hometowns:

Chicago--I-290, US 20 and IL 50
Los Angeles--I-5, US 101 and CA 170
Seattle--I-5, US 2 and WA 99

I can't believe I forgot to mention that both of the houses we lived in when I was growing up were within 1/4 mile of OH-4; one was east and one was west.

I lived on US 231 when I was living in a post-college apartment.  The only thing separating my car parking spot from Northwestern Avenue was a sidewalk.  US 231 has been rerouted since then and that railing down the middle of Northwestern Avenue wasn't there when I lived there:

I was living on Indiana SR 26 East in a grad dorm when they made a bunch of West Lafayette streets one-way (SR 26 is no longer signed there):

I grew up on a county road in a house that my parents live in.  No, I'm not giving you their address.

Nowadays I live 2 miles as the car drives and half a mile as the crow flies from I-75.

[jakeroot]

Closest right now to Interstate 705; Tacoma, WA. Only about 2 miles from I-5 though.

At one point lived in WA-161 while in Puyallup, WA

I live off US-1 when I'm in Virginia.
