TheGrassGuy:
What are some extraordinary long routes you can take without turning, that involve lots of different roads? (Dalton Highway for example doesn't count. Most limited access highways don't either.)

Racetrack Rd in Ho-Ho-Kus - CR 507 - US 202 - NY 59 - NY 17 - NY 32 - NY 300 - NY 207 - Main Street in Goshen. 56.2 miles, 1 h 33 min.


Hornell - NY 21 - NY 15 - NY 15A - Henrietta Rd - Crittenden Blvd in Rochester. 59.6 miles, 1 h 20 min.


Charlotte Area. No primary state routes. 28.1 miles, 57 min.


Charlotte Area. No primary state routes. 25.7 miles, 54 min.


Connecticut, mostly CT 10. 40.2 miles, 1 hr 29 min.


NJ 154 - NJ 41 - CR 537, Voorhees to Tinton Falls. 62.3 miles, 1 hr 45 min.


CR 539. 46.8 miles, 59 min.


Weird one where I live. 20 miles, 39 min.


Sorry if this is a weird topic.

MCRoads:
If using exits counts, than I think I have a really long one: Norfolk to DC Via Eastern Peninsula. Completely pointless, and has no turns.

kphoger:
Exits shouldn't count, IMHO.  They're just glorified turns.

Actually, it's not a weird topic and highlights a pet peeve of mine.  There are a lot of newer highways and roads (particularly here in the South) that have developed into major arterials, but involve a "sine salad" of [obsolete] route numbers and hop-along routes.  Some of these do jump onto bypasses around small cities, so they won't necessarily qualify as "extraordinary long routes you can take without turning". 

Some not-so-great examples in this part of the country:

North Carolina
     Charlotte to Albemarle to Richfield (NC-24/NC-27//US-52) - 50 miles
Virginia
     Norfolk/Portsmouth to Smithfield to Rushmere (VA-164/US-17//VA-10), portions connecting to Norfolk may not qualify - 31 miles
South Carolina
     Cheraw to Bennettsville to Conway to Marion (SC-9//SC-38//US-501) - 57 miles

hbelkins:
Are you referring to roads that have one designated name over multiple numerical designations?
