Where I presently reside:
I-95 to the south
I-76 to the north & east
I-476 to the west

When I resided in MA:
I-95 to the north
I-93 to the west
I-495 to the south (across Massachusetts Bay)
Marblehead Harbor to the east (no the house was not on oceanfront property)

I-285/I-20/I-459/I-59/I-24/I-75

Speaking of I-24, what block do these people live on?

24, 840, 24 and 59, of course!

There are some homes in the median of I-77 (WV Turnpike) between Beckley and Princeton.

Street View link needed - seeing is believing  :sombrero:
(I will look myself, but I'm not "driving" all the way between those two cities)

ETA: I found a few. There may be more, though.

There's a neighborhood in the median of I-75 in Cincinnati.

I-5 to the east and that is it in Sherwood. The only other possible argument is I 80 600 miles south but that is really far away.
Yours would be I-5, I-80, I-505, I-580, and I-705

I-95 east, I-85 south, I-95/64 north, I-81 (very far) west.

Olive Garden must be stopped.  I must stop them.

That's legit. I would totally live there. Maybe. Not.

doorknob60

I guess mine would have to be I-84, I-5, I-80, and I-15  :wow: (I guess throw in I-205 and I-215 to cut off the corners but that doesn't change it much)

I-10 a few miles south of home
I-110S only goes south so not a complete side of my block, maybe I-65 is a better choice?
I-20 as the north leg of my block? Probably 250 miles north.
I-75 as my east leg of my block.

Federal US hwys
US-90 3 blks south of home
US-29 west
US-84 north
US-331 east

I have no E/W interstate to my north  :-P

Me neither. To make a block, I guess it would be I-90 / I-81 / 401 / QEW.

GaryV

I-75, I-696, I-96, I-496, I-69, back to I-75.

Without 3di's, it would be I-75 to I-96 to I-69 back to I-75.

Great Lakes Roads

Hmm... what interstates are around my block??

I-80/90 (Indiana Toll Road), I-94 (to the north)
I-65 (to the west)
I-865, I-465 (to the south)
I-69 (to the east)

Total Mileage: 431 miles (complete circle)

I-40, I-40/85, I-85, I-485, I-77, I-20, I-95.

DTComposer

I-280, I-680, I-580, I-5, I-405, I-10 and the Pacific Coast.

bassoon1986

If I-69 were completed in east Texas, mine would be I-69, I-49, I-10, I-610. Otherwise I'd have to go further west to include I-45 and I-20

Ok, if we're going to do US and state highways, here goes

State: CT 10, (SR 509), CT 322, CT 69, CT 72, CT 372, CT 177 (SR 532).  25 mile loop on signed routes, about 23 if you count the SR shortcuts.  The house I grew up in would have been CT 10, CT 120, CT 364, CT 71, CT 71A, CT 372, CT 72, CT 372 again.

US: Since US 5 does not connect to US 1, it becomes a 308 mile loop of US 6, US 1, and US 7 through CT and RI.  If it did connect, it would be an exactly half of that 154 mile intrastate loop of US 5, US 1, US 7, US 6, and US 44.

If we're talking numbered routes, it's a intra-town, 9 1/2 mi. block of I-84 and CT 10.
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

From Lawrence, KS:

I-70 -> I-435 -> I-35 -> I-335 -> I-470 (total trip is 209 miles)

Being on the east side of Iowa St (US 59) makes this much more complicated than if I was on the west side, but here goes.

US-59 -> US-40/59 -> US24/40 -> US-24/40/73 -> US-24/40 -> US-69 -> US-56/69/169 -> US-56/169 -> US-50/56/169 -> US-50/56 -> US-56 (total trip is 103 miles)

Since K-10 and K-32 begin at different spots near Lawrence, Kansas highways are a bit difficult as well.

K-7 -> K-68 -> K-31 -> K-99 -> K-4 -> K-92 -> K-92/16 -> K-92 (total trip is 238 miles)

hbelkins

US: 460, 23, 119, 421, 60.

State: 52, 213, 9000 (Mountain Parkway), 11, 498. And this is complicated by the fact that KY 11 and the Mountain Parkway cross each other twice between Stanton and Slade with no interchange.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

US: 70, 15/501, 64, 421

Clinched interstates: 410 (TX), 225, 35, 35E (MN, TX), 35W (MN, TX), 135, 235 (IA, OK), 335, 535, 635, 129, 229, 37, 44, 271, 76 (NE-CO), 88 (IL), 155 (IL), 470 (KS), 170 (MO), 172, 180 (WY), 280 (IA-IL, NJ), 380 (IA, PA), 480 (IA-NE), 680 (IA-NE), 190 (SD), 194 (ND), 394, 494, 694, 794
