Non Interstate truck routes in your state.

[Inyomono395]

As a lot of us know, Interstates are usually the most important truck routes, but at times US highways and state routes are also very important routes for through truck traffic.

Here is my list of non interstate truck routes in California.

US 6
US 101
US 395
CA 14
CA 58
CA 99

Am I missing any? What are some non interstate truck routes in your state?

[Pete from Boston]

Not my state anymore, but Truck 1-9 (US routes, but nobody says "Truck US 1-9") is a major thoroughfare in New Jersey that bypasses the Pulaski Skyway.

List of truck routes in PA. There's also another thread in one of the replies.

I don't believe Minnesota has any bannered truck routes. Superior, WI does along Winter St. as a bypass of US 2 and US 53, but as far as I know trucks are not banned from US 2 proper.

[Kacie Jane]

The thread isn't meant to be about bannered truck routes.  It's about routes that are meant for long-haul truck traffic but aren't interstates.

To answer the OP, most US routes that aren't in the shadow of interstates would qualify.  12, 97, and 395 are probably the biggest one in Washington, in addition to SR 20 and SR 410 (when the passes are open).  I don't know how busy US 101 is for truck traffic, since population tends to be pretty sparse on the coast in Washington and Oregon when compared to California.

(If the thread were about bannered truck routes, I'd think interstate ones would be more interesting -- meaning a far shorter list -- than non-interstates.  The only one I can think of off the top of my head is I-278 in Queens.)

[The Nature Boy]

US 1 north of Brunswick would qualify here as would ME 9 from Bangor to Calais.

[TheHighwayMan3561]

In that case I think the primary Minnesota truck US/state routes would be:

US 2
US 14
US 52
US 169

MN 23

[SD Mapman]

SD:
SD 79 (south of Rapid)
US 85 (north of Spearfish)

Other than those there's not a ton of non-interstate truck traffic... maybe US 14? The other four-lane highways in the state?

[US 41]

In Indiana

US 41 / SR 63
US 30
US 31
SR 25 / US 24

For California, I'd add:

US 199
US 50
CA 20
CA 70
CA 128
CA 29 (parts of this are even signed as truck routes)
CA 37
CA 4
CA 156 and sections of CA 1
CA 152 over Pacheco Pass

sure to be more...

[Pete from Boston]

Mass. 2 and 3, US 6 on the Cape, Mass. 140 (southern 20 miles), Mass. 128, US 1 between Boston and Lynnfield...

Wisconsin has maps for truck routes in each region of the state above.  There's quite a few non interstate routes.

[noelbotevera]

Oh, ok then. For PA:

US 1
US 6
US 15
US 22
US 30
US 222
US 322
US 422
PA 283

Most of these routes haven't been supplant and another interstate is a good hour or more north/south/east/west.

I know this Wikipedia list will take the fun out of listing every state's truck routes, but it'll also show that the lists already presented here is just a fraction of the National Truck Network in those states...  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Network

Maybe we should have another thread about major truck routes that are not on the National Network?

[bing101]

CA-60, CA-91, CA-118, CA-134,CA-22 have some truck friendly sections as far as I know.

Huh, apparently all SD routes are approved. Some of them probably shouldn't be.

[froggie]

In that case I think the primary Minnesota truck US/state routes would be:

US 2
US 14
US 52
US 169

MN 23

Based on truck volumes, you can also include US 8, US 10 (bigger than most on your list), US 12 (east of Willmar), US 53, US 63 (south of Rochester), US 71, US 212, MN 15, MN 60 (west of Mankato), MN 65 (south of Mora), and MN 371.

[PHLBOS]

Mass. 2 and 3, US 6 on the Cape, Mass. 140 (southern 20 miles), Mass. 128, US 1 between Boston and Lynnfield...

US 3 (from Burlington northward) & MA 24 as well.

[hbelkins]

Kentucky --

US 23
US 25E
The US 68/KY 80 corridor
KY 9/KY 10 (AA Highway)
The parkways

West Virginia --

US 35
US 119 (Corridor G)
US 19 (Corridor L)
US 50 (Corridor D)
At some point in the future when it's completed, Corridor H.

Earlier in my career, I had to pour over maps that modeled freight traffic from NYSDOT's short-lived System Performance and Asset Management unit (and yes, the head of the unit called it SPAM).

In short, too many non-interstate truck routes in NY to count, but my favorite's NY 63, which truckers consider a shortcut to Buffalo if they're coming up I-390.  Truck traffic through there ticks off the locals to no end, but it's sort of interesting to contemplate that it's all due to a decision made decades ago to route I-390 the way it is now.

[theline]

In Indiana

US 41 / SR 63
US 30
US 31
SR 25 / US 24

In Indiana, I'd certainly add US 6 and US 20. Even though the latter parallels the ITR, it carries a lot of truck traffic.

As a lot of us know, Interstates are usually the most important truck routes, but at times US highways and state routes are also very important routes for through truck traffic.

Do you mean truck routes that are bannered as truck routes?  Or just non-Interstate routes that all trucks can legally use?

Non interstate truck routes that trucks can legally use. Routes that carry long haul truck traffic.

New York has a bunch, along with fully-designated regional and local systems. Some major ones are as follows:

NY 63 (as posted above)
US 20 (as part of NY 63 shortcut and as Thruway shunpike)
US 11 north/east of I-781
NY 149 and US 4 between I-87 and the Vermont line
NY 7 east of I-87
NY 17 (duh)
US 219
NY 29
NY 27 (one of only 2 limited-access truck routes on Long Island)
NY 12
US 9 between the Cross Westchester and I-90 (main truck route on east side of the river, especially north of I-84)
NY 5 (shunpike)
