[theline]

Although I've been driving for almost 50 years, I think I can do pretty well at this:

State highway: Indiana's SR-32, east of my home town of Muncie, in driver's ed.
County road: Indiana doesn't sign them, so this is tough. I'm sure it was some road off of SR-32 to the south, during the same driver's ed session. As for a signed county highway, I've got no idea. I didn't even know that some localities signed them until years later.
US route: US 35 in Muncie. It ran right through the city then, on Madison St., Wysor St., and Broadway. It came within just a few blocks of my house.
Interstate: probably I-69, on the way to Indianapolis.

[bzakharin]

Interstate: I-287 in NJ, I-80 in NJ was the first 2-di
US: 202 in NJ, US 46 for 2-dus
State: NJ 10
County: CR 617 in Morris County, NJ, Sussex Avenue
500 series: CR 510 in Morris County, NJ, Morris St / Lafayette Ave / Washington Ave / Mendham Rd

Out of state:
Interstate: I-76 in PA
US: 30 in PA
State: PA 291 (for 2 digit, probably CT 34)
County: I don't think I ever drove any non-NJ ones

[freebrickproductions]

First Interstate: I-565
First US Route: Either US 231/US 431, US 231, or US 98.
First State Route: Signed: AL 36; Unsigned: AL 1

[Thunderbyrd316]

   The very first time I drove a car on a public right of way I was 13 years old and for my very first driving experience, I drove on an Interstate freeway! (To be fair, this particular section of Interstate freeway was VERY much in the middle of nowhere back then, even much more so than it is today.) The year was 1983. My father pulled his '77 Pontiac Le Mans (a former City of West Linn police car) off at the East Bound Boardman Rest Area on Interstate 84 just past Mile Post 160. He told me to take over. I drove, remarkably uneventfully I might add, all the way to the Yoakum Road exit #199. (He thought it might not be a good idea to go all the way into Pendleton and the next exit, 202 Barnhart Road even back then had a couple of motels and the Woodpecker Truck dealership and thought that it would be better that we not be seen changing places in front of witnesses. The rest area had been vacant at the time we were there that day.)

   Well, I came off the freeway at about 45 m.p.h. right up the ramp just as perfect as could be and proceeded to step on the brake peddle in anticipation of the stop sign at the end of the ramp. What I was NOT prepared for however was the rather touchy brakes that GM cars of that era had and I brought that Pontiac from about 40 to zero in about 10 feet! It scared the crap out of me and all the crap my dad had in the back seat all came flying forward at 40 m.p.h. and made one hell of a mess but my dad was laughing his ass off!

   I really do not remember which other roads I drove on for the first time. (The second time I drove was also on I-84 farther west.) I do remember driving on Oregon 18 for the first time (I had ridden as a passenger on this route previously far too many times to count) and thinking that a lot of those circa '58 - '61 era shoulderless  bridges were awfully narrow to be going 55 m.p.h. across and I would slow considerably when ever I would approach one, to the consternation of the lengthy back log of traffic to my rear. (Interestingly, as I got older and more experienced I did not notice these a bit and actually felt that the 55 m.p.h. limit on Oregon 18 was a bit too SLOW.)

   The first U.S. route I drove on was probably 26, Powell Blvd. but I do not recall for certain.

   The first State Highway if not Oregon 18 was possibly (Decommissioned U.S.) 99E, McLoughlin Blvd.

   The first County Road MAY have been Vineyard Road in (unincorporated) Oak Grove in Clackamas County, the street I grew up on.

   When I took my drivers test to get my license in 1986 I used portions of U.S. 26, Powell Blvd. and I-205, the East Portland Freeway as well as a number of City of Portland municipal streets in outer South East Portland.

   (As a final note, the Woodpecker Truck dealership at exit 202 looks remarkably similar today to how it looked back in 1983 with one VERY notable exception. Sadly, they no longer have the copyright protected and trademarked image of Woodrow "Woody" Woodpecker featured on their sign. Damn sue happy lawyers just gotta wreck everything don't they?)

[Ian]

First road ever: some random dirt roads in Phippsburg, Maine.

US route: most likely US 1
State route: PA 352 (first public road ever driven on, as the drivers license center where I got my permit is located on this road)

Toll road: probably the I-276 portion of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
