What Interstates Form Your "Home Block"???

[ModernDayWarrior]

Traveling clockwise: I-55, I-40, I-35, I-44, I-270 (MO), I-55. Almost exactly 1,200 miles round-trip according to Google Maps.

If/when the Bella Vista Bypass is completed, I-49 will replace I-35 on this list and cut off approx. 282 miles.

Interstates 69, 94, 696, & 75.

And my US route block: US-67, US-60, US-63, (former US-66), US-50, US-67. 
MO route block: MO-49, MO-19, MO-8, MO-21, MO-32, MO-49.

Interstates:

I-280 to the west and north, I-80 to the northeast
I-380 to the south
I-880 to the (relatively far) east

---

US highways:

US 101 to the east and north
Pacific Ocean to the west. lol

---

State routes:
Route 82 to the west
Route 92 to the south
Route 61 to the east
The north part is tricky. Route 131 and Route 13 each could be to the north, but leaves a huge gap in San Pablo Bay.  Maybe Route 37 to the far north.

Actually, I have three:

Chicago: I-90/I-94, I-290 and I-294
Los Angeles: I-5, I-10, I-210, I-405 and I-605
Seattle: I-5, I-90 and I-405

Sorry for the late question, but I'm trying to figure out how the Los Angeles example forms a block.  Not knowing what part of LA you lived in, I would assume that if you lived in the SG Valley, Glendale, or the NE SF Valley, your block would be (starting in Sylmar going clockwise): 210-605-10-5, without using the 405 at all.  If you lived west of I-5, 405 is likely one of your borders, but then 210 would not be one of your borders.

I always imagined that if they ever put in a "Beltway" around LA, it would basically encompass 405-210-605, but technically there is a short stretch of I-5 between the end of 405 and the end of 210.  210 is always east of I-5.  405 is always west of I-5.

For me, my home in LA was surrounded by: 5-10-405 which encompasses Downtown LA, Hollywood, most of the SFV, and a large chunk of the fancier neighborhoods of the westside.  Other than a small part of Glendale, most of Burbank, and all of Universal City, West Hollywood, and Beverly Hills, and tiny unincorporated areas near the Veterans Cemetary - this triangle is nearly completely within the LA city limits.

My current living arrangement has me in a much bigger block:  70-695-95-495-270.  It's a near triangle covering most of central MD.  It also is shaped like South Carolina.

And I still have the same question about I-290 in Worcester.

Orange County: 5, 605, 10, 15, 8.

[Mark68]

Well, I guess if we're using US & state highways now...

US 40 to the north & east, US 24 to the south, US 87 (unsigned on most of I-25) to the west.

E-470 to the north (just on the north side of my apartment complex), CO 83 about a mile east, CO 86 to the south, I-25 to the west.

[Captain Jack]

I-69, I-24, I-65, I-64  We will ignore the 10 mile gap through Henderson, KY on US 41.

[kphoger]

My block is triangular in shape.

I-35 & I-335 on the southeastern side
I-470 & I-70 on the northern side
I-135 on the western side

[frankenroad]

My home block is I-75, I-74, & I-275 for Interstates and I-75, I-74, I-275, &  OH-126 for freeways.

My work block for both is I-71, I-471, & I-275.

US Blocks:  home US-127, US-27/52/127, US-42, US-35; work US-22, US-42/52/127, US-50, US-68

State Route Blocks:  there is no block, per se, for either work or home, as most of the state routes near me end at US or Interstate Routes and are therefore "cul-de-sacs" if treated alone.

Did you check to make sure? You would have to go out to the Huntington WV crossing of the Ohio River, but it is probably possible.

I did not do an exhaustive search but once I got far enough out, it looked like my "block" (if any) would encompass half the state, and I stopped looking.   That does not mean it's not possible.

I-12/I-10/I-610 (LA)/I-10/I-55.

[abefroman329]

I-94 to the west and I-90/94 to the south. There are no east-west Interstates to the north, and Lake Michigan is 5 or 5 blocks east of my house (and there are no Interstates between here and there).

[ipeters61]

Living on Delmarva is tricky: 95 to the north, 95/695 (MD)/97 to the west, 595 (MD)/495 (MD/VA)/95/295 (VA) to the southwest, 64/264 (VA) to the south, US-13/US-113/DE-1 to the east (I have no clue what interstate would take the place to the east).

Growing up in suburban Hartford is much easier: 90/291 (MA) to the north, 91 to the west, 291 (CT) to the south, 84 to the southeast/east.

[SCtoKC]

My Interstate block is fairly small: I-70, I-470, and I-435.

However, if I lived just a half-mile south, it would go all the way from Kansas City, down to Joplin, northeast to the St. Louis suburbs, then back west to Independence. (I-470, I-49, I-44, I-270, I-64, and I-70).

[MN34]

I-29, I-94/694, I-35/35W

[DandyDan]

I-94 to the west and I-90/94 to the south. There are no east-west Interstates to the north, and Lake Michigan is 5 or 5 blocks east of my house (and there are no Interstates between here and there).

You could say I-794 is to your north.     

[adwerkema]

While in Grand Rapids, mine is I-96, I-69, I-94, and I-196.

Currently in Ann Arbor, mine is I-96, I-69, I-94, and I-275. In other words, Ann Arbor is adjacent to the Grand Rapids "block".

[abefroman329]

Nah - due north of my house, there's non-Interstate-occupied land, then Lake Michigan, then Manitowoc.

I've previously posted the block for my current location.  But this post reminded me ...

Where I grew up in Grand Rapids, my home block was I-96, I-196 and I-296 (it was even posted then!) - but curiously, you can't "go around the block".   Because there's no access from EB I-96 to WB I-196 or vice versa.

If you needed to be able to "drive around the block" it wouldn't have been able to be done.  Currently it would be I-96 to I-69 to I-94 to I-196 to I-296 and back to I-96.  Except I-196 and I-69 weren't done while I was living there.  So it would have been one of those impossible blocks.

I-44/I-49*/I-40/I-35

*If you consider I-49 in MO and I-49 in AR to be two separate highways, then it is I-44/I-270/I-55/I-40/I-35. Until about 4 years ago, it was I-244/I-444/I-44.

I think that I-49 is 2 separate highways until we don't have to slog through Jane/Bella Vista.  Makes my almost triangle much bigger too.

Traveling clockwise: I-55, I-40, I-35, I-44, I-270 (MO), I-55. Almost exactly 1,200 miles round-trip according to Google Maps.

If/when the Bella Vista Bypass is completed, I-49 will replace I-35 on this list and cut off approx. 282 miles.

Looks like several of us are are awaiting its completion.  It's crazy that there's a place smack dab in the middle of the country that the smallest all-interstate route in a circle would take you a third of the way across the country in a straight line.  This area is seriously deprived.
