I don't why you are turning against me.

I did not sign up for anything. I already knew what the topic was. I had wrote the post already beofre I saw "interstate", and I figured it wouldn't hurt anyone. If it TRULY bothers you guys that much, have the admins delete it. It's no biggie.

are you fucking kidding me?

"I'm off topic.  this is your fault."

it doesn't bother me that you are off topic.  it bothers me that you are an arrogant asshole about it.

have you sought treatment for your diminished IQ and your inflated ego?

I'm NOT saying that. I'm NOT saying it's ANYONE's fault but mine. I even admitted I was off topic.

I wasn't being arrogant. I KNEW what the topic was and it seemed he was stating the obvious. YES I WAS off topic. He didn't know the reason or the whole story WHY I was off topic.

You are miss reading my intentions.

EDIT:Just curious, not trying to be "arrogant", where did I give off the impression that I think it's your fault?

In Ohio, I suppose I'd have to nominate I-71.  Big river bridge, old urban core, hilly urban area, popular theme park, big valley bridge, smaller hills, flat rural area, flat-ish urban area with modern urban core, mildly hilly congested suburban area that looks rural, flat rural area, big hills, major airport, urban area with commuter trains, big urban canyon bridge, old urban core.
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

really?  really?  is that what you had done didded?

Just saw this. I don't know if this is it or not, but I think you thought I was referring to the "Excuse me" post. I was referring to my original post about US 101. If that's the case, now it makes since why you though I was coming across that way.

Virginia?  Others here have mentioned I-64 and I-66.  I concur with those  - I-64 wins because it is so much longer than I-66.

Maryland?  I-70 clearly is the winner because of its crossings of the Blue Ridge (a/k/a South Mountain) and the Catoctins, though an honorable mention for I-83 (even though it's pretty short).

I-95 gets an honorable mention in both states for running through rural and urban areas, but it crosses nothing close to any mountain.

QuoteI-5.  urban coastal, rural coastal, urban modern, urban antiquated, bizarre interchange, more urban, rural mountain pass (desert edition), miles and miles of cows, big fucking volcano, rural mountain pass (forest edition)

I agree with this one.  I-5 in Orange County is a far cry from the I-5 in northern California.

Driving I-5 near Lake Shasta is one of my favorite stretches of Interstate highway anywhere.  Simply beautiful.

If there was a single Interstate that had replace US-40 it would be the clear winner in MD.  I agree the winner in MD is I-70 but if it 'made the turn' in Baltimore and headed for Delaware the way US-40 did instead of transferring the US-40 replacement duty to I-95 it would be even better.  I-70 never really touches tidewater, ending at the west edge of Baltimore just above the fall line..  I-83 going all the way to downtown Baltimore does hit tidewater but never doesn't hit the real mountains.

I-95 gets an honorable mention in both states for running through rural and urban areas, but it crosses nothing close to any mountain.

Massachusetts:

Mass Pike (I-90).

The western segment has exits that are very far apart (30 miles for one of them), but the eastern end is in Boston with lots of exits. The tolls are also different in Boston.

And the "Home of Friendly's" sign in Wilbraham in the middle.

In Georgia, it's I-75.

From the Florida state line (MM 0) to Tifton (MM 62), it's a flat, swampy coastal plain. From Tifton (MM 62) to Unadilla (MM 121), it's agricultural with gently rolling hills. From Unadilla (MM 121) to Griffin (MM 205), it's deeply dissected fall line terrain with several long hills. From Forsyth (MM 186) to Griffin (MM 205), it's a thick forest.

From Griffin (MM 205) to Marietta (MM 260), it's an elevated plateau. From Marietta (MM 260) to Cartersville (MM 290), it passes through the Appalachian foothills. From Locust Grove (MM 212) to Acworth (MM 277), it's the bustling urbanized area of metro Atlanta.

From Cartersville (MM 290) to Dalton (MM 333), it passes through the Great Appalachian Valley. From Dalton (MM 333) to the Tennessee state line (MM 356), it traverses the Cumberland Plateau.

I've noticed there's no I-roads here that end in 1, 2, 3, or 8. I suppose that's significant in some way.

I'll go ahead and fourth the suggestion of I-70 for Maryland, which goes from mountains to plains to dead end just outside Baltimore.

Interestingly enough, I'd also nominate I-70 for Colorado, which does the same thing, except dead end just outside the city it was meant to serve.
Call me Kenny/Kenneth. No, seriously.

If you particularly want roads that end in 2, consider US-2 in Washington.  All the things that make I-90 diverse also apply to US-2:  urban core in west, cropland, timberland, rangeland, mountains.  Plus, unlike I-90, some of US-2 is 2-lane, while other parts are 4-lane divided expressway.
