Who lives the closest to a numbered highway?

[bassoon1986]

I'm 445 feet from US 165

[getemngo]

I'm about 300-400 feet laterally and 120 feet vertically from US 1 south of Alexandria.

I had roughly similar dimensions from 2008-2012.  My street address was officially Richmond Hwy (US 1).

Then I moved on the opposite side of my building from US 58 in Norfolk.  Now I'm over 2.5 miles from the nearest paved road, let alone a numbered route...

I'm about 3.2 miles from M-37.

84% of Michigan residents live within 2 miles of a state trunkline... I figured my county would be an exception to that, but looking at it on Google Maps, I see very few points that are more than 4 away, and probably none over 6. And this is a state with very few state-maintained roads for its population...

I'm a block from MA114, and about 50 feet from a sign erroneously signing my street as such.

Being a North Shore native; I believe I know the location and the MassDOT D6/D8 signs (aka Paddle LGS') you're referring to.  Those signs should contain the word TO in front of the 114 shields.

I've moved to Salem since the last time I wasn't lazy enough to update my profile.

Surely a countless number of people live in houses or apartment buildings in the middle of the one-way couplets that many numbered highways take through the downtown areas of most cities. Does that count as a negative distance?

[Billy F 1988]

I am apporximately 8/10's of a mile from US 93 Business and US 12.

That reminds me of the Holiday Inn in Charleston, SC being in the median of US 17 south of the Ashley River!  It is not a residence, but people are living there either overnight or for a few days.  It is interesting as you sleep you have cars on a major US route surround you.

Anyway, I would think it would all count as someone fronting a numbered highway for apartments in the middle of couplets.

The ones that are interesting is where interstate alignments such as I-24 in TN (Monteagle Grade) and I-75 in OH (Cincinnati) that split ways apart and if you were to have someone live in the middle of the two roadways, but far enough in from either of that you cannot be considered fronting.

I've stayed at the hotel in the median of I-84 in Massachusetts near Exit 1.  Apparently, it's a Days Inn now, but I am pretty sure it was something else when I stayed there about 10 years ago.

Driving up NY 30 in Scotch Bush today reminded me of this thread when I passed by the house whose wall can't be more than 8 or 10 feet off the pavement.

You can see the house in the GMSV link from the above map location.

[elsmere241]

I'm a block and a half from Delaware 2.

[DTComposer]

Currently (as the crow flies) I'm 1290 feet from CA-213.

Closest I ever was to a highway was 780 feet from I-5 in the first place I lived.

Perhaps not surprisingly living in California, I've never been more than 1.3 miles from a freeway, and I've lived at 14 different addresses.

[PHLBOS]

I've moved to Salem since the last time I wasn't lazy enough to update my profile.

The only sign that erroneously refers to a road as MA 114 in Salem I'm aware of is the lower D8 panel facing MA 1A Southbounders at the intersection of Lafayette/Derby/New Derby Streets stating that New Derby St. is MA 114 West.  Again, there should be a TO either above or to the left of said-114 shield.

A week from now, I get to move into an apartment in Mason City, Iowa that's on Iowa highway 122, although technically, the street address is on a side street.

[TR69]

I'm 410 feet from KY 146.

The nearest two-digit route is 1.75 miles away, the nearest US route is 3.6 miles away, the nearest 3di is 0.71 miles away, and the nearest 2di is 3.1 miles away.

Isn't everybody in Kentucky within 500 feet of a numbered highway???

My apartment is about half a mile from the Henry Hudson Parkway (NY 9A).  There's no entrance there, though, so you have to drive over a mile to actually get on as opposed to just looking down on it from Riverside Park.

[slorydn1]

It's 334 feet from my back deck to SR-1222 (no one specified signed routes) 


It's 0.48 miles from the edge of my property to US-17 Business for those who demand signage. 

As a very young child (too young to remember it) my back property line was approximately 500 feet from I-94.

note: distances measured in straight lines not driving distance.

[JMAN_WiS&S]

I live 394 Feet from I-94 in Eau Claire, WI

[dzlsabe]

The property line of our building is ten feet from US 41.

[20160805]

I'm about 1000 ft from WI 47, and road noise is not a problem.

[epzik8]

This isn't me, but some relatives: My father's parents once lived maybe one-eighth of a mile from U.S. 50/301/secret I-595 outside of Annapolis, Maryland, and not much further from the south end of I-97. My mom's mother, until earlier this year, lived about 1/4 mile from U.S. 17 in North Myrtle Beach.

[mdthomas8368]

From the edge of my short driveway, 3200 ft to I-840, 4300 ft to I-24, and 1.2 mi to the center of the intersection of them.

[JMoses24]

.2 miles from Kentucky SR 18.

Since I moved, my apartment complex entrance meets Ohio State Route 4 1,198 feet away. 

[cl94]

I live between a one-way pair containing NY 2. My building takes up the entire block, so one stairwell is at WB and the other at EB. While my address is 6th Avenue, I get into the lot from EB and exit onto WB.
