Interstate: I-35 (step outside, do a 90 degree turn to the right, and there she is)
U.S. Route: U.S. 77
State Highway: None really that close, closest would probably be OK-9 which is a few exits down from me

I used to be wedged in between I-35 and OK-74.

County Highway: Santa Rosa 399 - 1.7 miles

My closest freeway is so far away...

And I was in error on the county highway as well. Santa Rosa 399 is my closest county highway, not Santa Rosa 184.

closest active US highway ... 115 miles to the current terminus of US-101 :(
closest active state highway ... 3 miles to CA-52
closest active interstate highway ... 2 miles to I-5

closest old US highway alignment ... half a block to old US-101W, Ingraham Street.  2 miles to old US-101E, which later became plain old US-101 when the W split was taken off.

Eh, why not?

State trunkline: M-96 (my complex has all of its addresses on this road)
U.S. route: US 131, since any closer routes have been decommissioned.
Interstate: I'm pretty sure I-94 is slightly closer than I-194, but both are roughly five miles from my apartment on the most direct route to them.

The closest numbered county route to me would also be over in Kalamazoo County, A45, as to my knowledge, Calhoun County has never had numbered county routes (several Michigan counties don't, fwiw).

I-287 is literally a stone's throw from my building.  I-80 is not much farther.
US 46 is right there by I-80.
I live on CR 511, which is numbered like a state route (all the 500's keep their numbers across county lines and do not repeat in the state).  Otherwise closest SR is 10 or 53, both about 2-3 miles away.

I think that FL 85A has been decommissioned for a long time. The only remnant of that route is a sign along FL 85 northbound before the split with unsigned FL 397. The only other 85A (and it's a county route) that I am aware of is between FL 189 and FL 85 in Cinco Bayou and it is only signed from FL 189.

State: MA 9.  20 feet (I live on it).  16 is 1/4 mile away, 2 and 2A are about 1/2 mile away.
US: Current alignments; 3 and 20 (tie)... old, 1.  I'm about a mile from the starts of 3 and 20 (roughly equidistant), but old 1 came within 1/2 a mile before it was routed onto the 93.
Interstate: 90.  1/3 mile (ish)
