No, because Through isn't spelled that way. Stop contributing to illiteracy.

No. Instead, change the name of the city to "Traffic." Then use the "Thru Traffic" signs to indicate which roads take you through the city instead of bypassing it.

I thought that was the Trans-Canada Highway's new name after this year's Olympic hockey.

This is to reflect the overwhelming support the citizens of Washington DC have shown for him at the polls.  They obviously think he's #1.

I-42 should be renamed the Douglas Adams Memorial Highway, because slapping a red white and blue shield on every new freeway is some states' answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Buy or borrow a mid-1990s Volvo (sedan or wagon) that had front-wheel drive and an inline-5. It's obviously the ideal vehicle for that particular trip because it's right there in the model name: Volvo 850.

(My mother had an 850 for about 13 years. It was a very nice car to drive on longer trips. Great front seats. Who knows whether you could find one in great shape nowadays.)

Use AUs to measure your distances, instead. Then your trip will only be 0.000009144 long. Piece of cake!

Sock away a few billion dollars, ten years of R&D, acquire some permits, and create your own space program. Be the envy of all your neighbors as you get a ticker tape parade down your block after your first successful mission and landing from Cape Wichita, avoiding all that pesky driving and uncontrolled airspace restrictions.

Put your Tesla into Autopilot and sit back. Maybe even take a nap.
