Depending on how we traveled through Jacksonville during a family vacation in the early 1970s, I may have seen the southern terminus of US 23. I definitely have seen the northern terminus.

I'm thinking the longest north-south route I've definitely seen both ends of is US 25, which I have clinched. (Having been on the portion from Georgia to well into North Carolina on the same aforementioned vacation.)


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

This is an easy question for me to answer.  I-90 in Boston and Seattle.
Avatar is the last interesting highway I clinched.

US Highway: US 12 (2483 mi)
Interstate Highway: I-10 (2640 mi)

In both cases I have actually driven on the road at one end and just crossed the road at the other end.

Indiana state highway: IN 9 (190 mi)

I've been to both ends of I-10, but hardly anything in between

MCRoads

I-10 (maybe) I have been to the Jacksonville end, and I have been to LA, but not down by the beach where the actual end is.
I build roads on Minecraft. Like, really good roads.
Interstates traveled:

I  suppose my list is sad. Longest Interstate I have seen both ends is I-88 in Illinois. The longest US Route is US 218, but I haven't been on any of it, except for the overlap with US 34, south of Iowa City. For state route, I think it is IA 3.

US 101 (1,540 mi), and I can't even think of a remotely close second. I've been to New York City but not quite near I-80's eastern terminus. I've clinched I-84 from Portland to Ogden, UT, but not from there to Echo. I have been to San Diego but not near the Mexican border (though I have been to Canada via I-5, long ago).

Mile marker 0.

So if you go to mile marker 0, you've seen both the beginning and the end?

Probably I-476. I've been in the vicinity of both ends of I-90 (that is to say Seattle and Boston), but I've never actually seen either end

I mean, if we're going to assign a beginning and ending to that which doesn't have a physical beginning/ending, then using MM 0 seems to be the most logical answer. So, to answer your question, yes.

You could, however, differentiate it by going past MM 0 in both directions, with traveling clockwise being the beginning and counterclockwise the ending.

I didn't realize until now that all Interstate beltways have a point where mileage resets to zero.  I kept trying to find a counterexample (say, where the southern portion is a duplex and uses the other highway's mileage), but I can't find a single one.
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

Other interstates I've seen both ends of:  81, 55, 65, 71, 72, 74, 88W, 39, 41, 43, 24, 57, 12, 94, 69 (edit)
US Routes are 34, 35, 43, 64, 264 and 45.  I think thats all.

Not an Interstate, but Spanish Z-40 around Zaragoza. The Northern part of it overlaps A-2 and uses its mileage. Once it splits it counts from the start of the overlap, so it doesn't really have a kmpost 0.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

I-59 for me. It could almost be I-65 but we missed the north end by a few miles when we got on it off of I-94.

They said take a left at the fork in the road.  I didn't think they literally meant a fork, until plain as day, there was a fork sticking out of the road at a junction.
