I would be interested in watching this. Though I am disappointed that they didn't pick real life Interstates to be the main characters. They should have taken suggestions from this thread  :-D

CA 19 and/or CA 39 -- the "black knight" from ".....Holy Grail" (e.g., "none shall pass!")!  Pieces keep getting chopped off, but they still display a lot of attitude (and a shitload of traffic).

So, is this going to be a real TV show, or is this something along the lines of a fake show? (Something like what they might watch in Alanland?)

I-39 to me would be the person who thinks they can do something alone/by themselves, and after five minutes decided best to pair up again

It's all the creation of someone with waaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands. It's absolutely not real, not even in Alanland where it is real.

The morality of stating that there is no war with Intertropolis is quite debateable, even if the war with Intertropolis is not without the opposite of a negative connotation.

There is no US 400.  He's just an urban legend.

US 66 would definitely be someone who is a proponent of Daylight Saving Time, because both are incredibly popular but have very little actual usefulness.
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%
