Does anyone play at funtrivia.com? They have quizzes of all types, including roads, currencies, explorers, Scrabble, calculus, grammar, The Beatles, and much more!

Link here if you want to start: http://www.funtrivia.com/?ref=hotdogPi

Notes:

There are quizzes, and there are hourly and daily games. Quizzes are not timed, but hourly and
daily games are. The hourly and daily games will have you competing against other people.

Road quizzes are in the category "World", subcategory "Transport", and further subcategory "Roads and Highways".

You will get a fair number of British and Australian questions in mixed quizzes (including hourly and daily games), since people from all over the world are on this site.
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

Sporcle does the same sort of thing, including timed quizzes. You triggered a memory of a few games I created in 2011. None road-related though: https://www.sporcle.com/user/kurumi

Elsewhere in Sporcle, people have done "name the state where I-64 and I-77 meet" type quizzes.
My first SF/horror short story collection is available: "Young Man, Open Your Winter Eye"

I'm also a sporcler, and I prefer the Kyrgyzstan*-based quiz site to any other. It even has triggered some cases of 'sporclitis', where you remember some obscure facts and miss the obvious ones. This happens with me and the last name Pearson...

*Actually is Seattle-based like Microsoft, but play a few geography quizzes and you will realize this Central Asia country is a running gag thanks to its difficult spelling.
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.

Name the city each of 67 famous TV shows is set in. How fast can you get them all? :-)

67/67 in one second :sombrero:. I gave you five globes, though I miss Bishkek as a valid answer.

I got an 80 (16 out of 20 correct). Extremely easy, except for a few questions that were related to history which I had never learned, haha.
Now alternating between different highway shields for my avatar - my previous highway shield avatar for the last few years was US 76.

If you look carefully on Sporcle, you can find a quiz about Virginia Route 28 created by none other than ethanman62187.
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

I created another road-related quiz on funtrivia.com, although it is around the world, not US-only. Unlike the last one, this is only 10 questions.
