Favorite highway that's the same number as your age

[1995hoo]

Corridor H (US-48).

[zzcarp]

For 44, I only have a few options for routes I've traveled. As a kid we took I-44 from St. Louis to Oklahoma City, and I have little memory of that trip except for the arch from the Poplar Street Bridge and our family dog. As an adult, I've only driven the Poplar and what is now the extension between the Poplar and I-70, so it's too little for a "favorite".

I've been on the freeway part of Ohio 44 in northeast Ohio but not enough of the rest of the route to count.

I guess I'm kind of feeling Colorado 44 right now. It's entirely on E 104th Avenue in Adams County. It begins discretely at Colorado Boulevard (not even a state highway) a couple miles east of I-25, crosses US 85 at a traffic signal, then ends at what is now former Colorado Highway 2 in Commerce City. In each direction from its termini, E 104th Ave continues on for miles. There's probably some metaphor for age 44 there.

I went on NY 18 once. Pretty nice.

[JoePCool14]

Shockingly, I've seen lots of 20s and 22s but I guess I'm the first for 21.

IL-21 covers Milwaukee Avenue, a road I'm pretty sure I have clinched. It's just another area arterial in North Chicagoland. Nothing really special about it. I don't even really feel "nostalgic" about it. But it's one I've frequented a lot over the years.

I have never been on WI-21. Nor US-21 AFAIK. And neither M-21 in Michigan.

So by default, IL-21 is my favorite.

The only highway 45 I'm familiar with is US 45 through the Chicagoland area. I lived right off US 45 for the 4 years I was in the Chicago suburbs and travelled on it quite frequently. It's a "minor" street-level highway compared to the freeway network and even US 41, but an important highway through parts of IL except where paralleled by I-57 and I-24. It runs the entire length of Illinois, from the Wisconsin border in the northern Chicago suburbs to the Ohio River across from Paducah, KY.

The only 37s I've driven are IL 37 and IN 37.

I've probably had more fun driving IN 37 (including a speeding ticket!), so I guess IN SR 37 gets the nod for now, even if many portions of it are about to disappear in favor of the I-69 designation

[JayhawkCO]

Certainly not the whole thing, but US40 over Berthoud Pass is pretty great.

[Cerlin]

Gotta be Interstate 20 for me. Been on it from it's western terminus all the way through Atlanta. It also goes through DFW which is where I'm from.

I mentioned US 40 as my favorite US highway on another thread. Just the history of it (especially as the National Road) is really interesting.

I have to go sentimental with Ontario Highway 26. My family had a condo up in Thornbury for several years and we'd drive up most weekends for skiing, cycling, swimming, etc. The actual highway is nice too with good views of the Niagara Escarpment and Georgian Bay.

Now I have a month to think of my answer for 27 .

I hope for your sake that you can find something better than ON 27, because that road is a slog

US 27 is a nice drive in some segments.

I-22 and US 22 are really good routes, but I have been on neither in real life. I believe the only Highway 22's I have been on are GA 22 and WY 22, IIRC. I may pick Wyoming Highway 22 as my favorite because the scenery is outstanding, being near Jackson and the Teton Range. I have only been on the part from US 26/89/189/191 to WY 390 (although it's a short route altogether), but the drive was great, and from what I can see on Google Maps Street-View, the section west of WY 390 is even more breathtaking as it goes up the mountain.

[Konza]

Has to be Interstate 65, which was the preferred route from home to college.

[WillWeaverRVA]

VA 37, I guess, probably the weirdest VDOT-maintained freeway in Virginia with strange signage and its non-freeway connections to I-81 (the south end stops being a freeway just before I-81 while the north end merges into US 11 before a diamond interchange with I-81). If not for those, it could be I-281.

[Flint1979]

Well M-42 is a short highway and one I haven't spent much time on so that isn't it. US-42 I'd probably opt for I-71 so I doubt that's my favorite 42 route. I'm going to go with Indiana SR-42 as I have been on it several times and clinched Owen County by taking it one time. It's only about 60 miles long though and one of the only state highways in Indiana I have fully clinched. It starts out at US-40 in Terre Haute and goes to Mooresville where it ends at SR-67 and SR-144.

I like US-27 in Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida. Georgia is probably ok as it bypasses Atlanta but I haven't really traveled on it much in Georgia.

[Henry]

By default, it's US 51, which runs down the middle of IL. I will turn 52 next month, and US 52 will be my new favorite because of its quirkiness (is it north-south or east-west?), and that in itself is far more interesting than the previous highway.

[hbelkins]

Mine would about have to be US 60, which I've been on from its eastern terminus in Virginia Beach all the way to just west of the Missouri-Oklahoma state line.

The only other 60s that come to mind are OH 60 and TN 60, both of which I have only been on for short portions.

[frankenroad]

Nothing Exciting pops up for me - though, as someone mentioned, parts of I-65 in Kentucky are quite scenic.

I'm just going to wait a few months till I can get my kicks on Route 66.

[TheDon102]

It would have to be NY-22 for me!

If you make it out to Colorado, CO65 is one of my favorite drives out here, going over Grand Mesa. It can still be your favorite, even if you haven't driven it.

US 23 seems like a pretty neat highway. However, since I haven't went to the US, I can't really confirm it.

BC23 looks pretty great too, on your side of the border.

[74/171FAN]

US 30 pretty much by default.  However, before moving to PA in 2015, I had only been on it in the Lancaster area from PA 283 to the Dutch Haven east of PA 896.

MD 30, DE 30, VA 30, LA 30, SC 30, and I-30 just are not as exciting for some reason.
