* Contains something that may nullify it from being considered four words (I.E. 's or hyphens) - you decide.

Nope, should all count.

I'll try, I guess.
I-229 (SD): Around southeastern Sioux Falls
Another one for I-180 (WY): I don't get it.
SD 100: Will be completed...eventually...

And of course the most obvious one:
South Dakota: Better than North Dakota
This... is the best!

I-5 - Vancouver Canada to Tiajuana
I-405 (WA) - Bellevue and Places East
I-405 (OR) - "We Hate The Banfield" or "Go West This Way" or "This Way to Beaches
I-705 - Really, a Tacoma Freeway?
I-375 (MI) - Crap, missed the exit
I-80 - Almost Coast to Coast
They said take a left at the fork in the road.  I didn't think they literally meant a fork, until plain as day, there was a fork sticking out of the road at a junction.

The entire Los Angeles freeway system: Too many jackass drivers
I-405 between LA Airport and the San Fernando Valley: Always congested; always clogged
I-10 from Santa Monica through the San Gabriel Valley: Almost as bad, really
I-5 from I-605 to California 91, which should've been widened 40 years ago: They're doing that NOW?!?
I-5 through Anaheim: Runs right past Disneyland
South Pasadena's response to I-710: NO NO NO NO!!!
The new connector from north California 170 onto I-5: That is really nice!
Arroyo Seco Parkway: First Los Angeles freeway
I-110: Downtown LA to harbor
I-210 from Pasadena west to Sunland Blvd: Needs new paving, bad!
Remember: If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I'd rather be a child of the road than a son of a ditch.


At what age do you tell a highway that it's been adopted?
