What Interstates Form Your "Home Block"???

[WNYroadgeek]

If going into Canada in order to complete the loop counts: I-90, I-290, I-190, ON 405, QEW, ON 403, ON 401, ON 137, I-81, I-90, I-490

[epzik8]

I-95, I-695, I-83, I-76 and I-476.

Also, my U.S. route block is U.S. 1, U.S. 40, U.S. 15, U.S. 30 and U.S. 222. Way back in the day it would have been U.S. 1, U.S. 111 (present-day MD-45), U.S. 30 and U.S. 222.

My state block is MD-24, MD-165, MD-543 and MD-23.

My current place in Overland Park: I-35, I-435, I-49, and I-44

Previous places
Omaha, NE: I-80, I-680, I-29, I-90, I-25
Ames, IA: I-80, I-35, I-90, I-29, I-680

I-229 up in Sioux Falls takes a bite out of the one corner of your Ames block. I would have had the same block if I had moved to Clear Lake.

Yes, you're right. I had forgotten about that.

If you're talking U.S. routes then my home block would be easy! It's mostly covered by the Beltline (it has many different highways but US 12 is on the entire route) and US 51. I suppose 151 would be a part of it instead of 51 because that's the only route that runs through the central city.

I've got an interesting block. In fact, it's not even possible to complete the square in either direction without exiting...twice!

I-94/I-294 JCT (no direct connection)	I-94 Edens Spur	I-94 Edens Expy
I-294 Tri-State Tollway	My Location	I-94 Edens Expy
I-294/I-90/I-190 JCT	I-90 Tollway/Kennedy Expy	I-90/I-94 JCT (no direct connection)

Unfortunately, there's no direct connections from I-294 North to the Spur, the Spur to I-294 South, I-90 East to I-94 West, or I-94 East to I-90 West. If I want the full, only Interstate block, I'd have to go all the way down to I-290.

My US-route block at home:
US-12 to the north,
US-23 to the east
US-223 to the south,
US-127 to the west

My US-route block at work (downtown Toledo):
US-20 to the south,
US-23 to the west,
US-6 (maybe?) to the east
nothing to the north?

My SR block at home:
M-52 to the west,
M-36 a partial north,
M-125 a partial east
OH-184 & OH 109 for a partial south.

I-75, I-280 and I-80/I-90

[SSOWorld]

	I-90	I-39/90/94
I-35	me	I-39
I-380	I-80	I-88

[jwolfer]

When we lived in Jacksonville my interstate block was small.. i10 to the north, i95 to the east and i295 to South and west

Z981

[OracleUsr]

I-40/77/85.  I live two miles or so from the 40/77 junction and 38 miles from the 77/85 junction

[sbeaver44]

83/76/81/70 and I guess 695 since 83 and 70 don't meet.

81 and 76 don't directly meet, so that gets interesting.

Crap,  I live west of I-5, so technically my Block would be I-5/80, and BC/TCH-1.

[davewiecking]

My Interstate home block is I-495.

My US Highway home block encompasses a much larger area, is twice as long, and would probably take about 3 times as long to drive, due to the necessity of driving thru downtown DC and Frederick, MD: US-29, US-40, US-15, with US-50 cutting a bit off the SW corner.

I've given up trying to form one with state highways; there isn't one between my house the the Potomac River, and I've only found 2 river bridges with state highways on both approaches, both well west of me: MD-38 and WV-42 meet near Kitzmiller, MD; MD-34 and WV-480 meet at Shepherdstown, WV. But even having discovered those connections, I can't create a atate highway polygon that includes my house. (I'm pretty sure the Nice Bridge carries only US-301, and the CBBT carries only US-13.)

[bugo]

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.

[mrpablue]

I-80; I-580; I-680; I-780.

[doorknob60]

And going under the assumption that my home is within the shape created by my block (eg I live south of I-84, so I couldn't use I-90 as the northern border and I-84 as the south) and that the block is a complete loop.

Interstates only: I-84, I-205, I-5, I-80, I-215, I-15 (1,990 miles)

US highways only: US-30, US-20/26, US-95, US-50, US-93 (1,040 miles)

State highways only: Not possible to make a full loop without using another highway type

Any highway: I-84/US-30, ID-45, ID-78, ID-167, ID-67, ID-51 (148 miles)

This is no longer accurate for me anymore. New ones:

Interstates only: I-84, I-86, I-15, I-90, I-82 (1,350 miles)

US Highways only: US-30, US-20/26 (53 miles; yes, I only need two US highways to fully encircle where I live)

State highways only: Not possible to make a full loop without using another highway type

Any highway: I-84, US-20/26, I-184 (13.5 miles)

Crazy how moving less than 10 miles changes these answers so much.

[jon daly]

I-95 to I-395 via CT-32, I-395 to I-90, I-90 to I-495, I-495 to I-95 ... to I-295 back to I-95.

US-1 to US-5 to US-6.

There are no state routes to my south that would work for this. I'd have to use US-1 to cheat if I wanted to do a state route block.

[OracleUsr]

Current:  I-485/77/40/26 OR I-485/77/US 64/US 21

Grew up in:  I-85/77/40/81 maybe?

Lived at one time:  I-29/94/TC1/US 52 (I guess US 2 if we go to US routes, otherwise, I guess I-15 would be the closest to the west)

My mistake.  That should be US 83, not US 52.

[ilpt4u]

I-57, I-64, a little of I-255, and I-55

Comparing that to my block growing up (both contain I-55 and a child of I-55, despite opposite ends of the state!):
I-55, I-355, I-88, I-39, I-80

[plain]

I'm a couple months late but I find this thread interesting.

Interstates: I-64 (north), I-295 (east & south), I-95 (west). I would've used VA 895 for the south but it didn't become I-895 and most likely won't anytime soon, if ever.

I'll bite on the bonus US routes option: US 60 (south), US 17 (east & north), US 360 (north & west). This block is obviously a triangle.

Those were easy, but I don't think it's even possible to do state routes in my case.

EDIT: Never mind, one does exist: VA 156, 106, 249, 33, 30, 2, 3, 20, 6, 161, 10, 288, 145, 144, 10 again.

[yand]

I-495, I-95 and I-93. This combo blocks off an area completely in northern MA, but where I live in southern MA it forms only a partial enclosure, with small land gaps between the interstates and the coast

[pj3970]

For me it is I-64, I-75, I-71, I-70, I-270 back to I-70, and I-77...where I was raised it would be I-44, I-270, I-55, I-40, and I-49
