Who lives the closest to a numbered highway?

[cjk374]

My driveway is attached to US 80. So does this count as 0' away from a numbered highway?

[KEVIN_224]

At one time, CT Route 71A went past my house...but then it's northern terminus was truncated to about 3 blocks to my south. CT Route 71 is 5 blocks away, then and now.

[OracleUsr]

I live two blocks from US 21/64, and used to live right on NC 115.  Never again.

[kphoger]

My address used to be Roosevelt Road in Wheaton, Illinois, which is IL-38. There was barely any front yard, either.

Does anyone live on the block between one way pairs.. Like US13 in Odessa,DE... You could say you live in the middle of the route

Yes.

I live between a one-way pair containing NY 2. My building takes up the entire block, so one stairwell is at WB and the other at EB. While my address is 6th Avenue, I get into the lot from EB and exit onto WB.

I don't live within a couple miles of one now but some of them that were under a quarter of a mile that I did were; US 1, FL 50, AZ 51, AZ 101, US 27, M153, and US 41.  Surprisingly I've never been all that close to any of them while I've been in California.  One more...forgot about US 60 when I was living in the Valley, it was literally in sight of my window overlooking the freeway.

[Bickendan]

1/4 mile from US 26, I-205 and OR 213.

[mapman1071]

3/8 mile US60 Grand Avenue Glendale, AZ USA

[Super Mateo]

According to Google Maps, I'm a tenth of a mile away from IL 43.

Similar here. But does a non-signed highway count? If so, then unsigned CT 431. Driveway's attached to it.

I don't live near a major highway but for 9 hours a day I'm about 100 yards from the Tri-State Tollway (I-94) in Lake County, IL.  I'm lucky enough to have a window "cubicle" but unfortunately the way my desk is configured most of the time my back is to the window, which is too bad because I think I would enjoy watching traffic all day rather than just listening to it.

[Chris19001]

I split my time between living in a van down by the river, and under I-95 with the other homeless folks..

[paulthemapguy]

You can sometimes find me riding my bike along Illinois 7, which is about a mile from my place.  Not a strong contender but it's something.

[MNHighwayMan]

I lived for six years on the route I use as my avatar. I moved a few months before it was turned back to the city of Cambridge (thus blowing my chance at getting one of the signs... )

Nowadays I'm two miles from IA-5 and three miles from US-69. Of course, neither of those are even close...

[ET21]

At college I lived about 200 feet and 2 stories up on IL-38 in DeKalb

[fillup420]

My address is on US 421, and that road is a triplex of US 421, 321, and NC 194

[Rothman]

I live 550 feet from NY 5.

If people don't mind me trespassing through their backyards, PA 995 is about 900 feet away.

[TR69]

At college I lived about 200 feet and 2 stories up on IL-38 in DeKalb

When I lived in Stevenson South I was 2,000 feet and 8 stories up from IL 38.

[michravera]

My front door is about 250 feet from the median of I-44/OK 66.  Does anybody live closer to a highway?  Does anybody live closer to a *major* highway?

When I lived in Texas in 2015, my street address was actually something like 8221 North IH-35. It is hard to get any more major than that.My place of residence was actually on the side of the building away from the freeway, so I may now live closer to the centerline of G-4 than I did to I-35.
In the 1980s, I lived in an apartment complex in Sacramento that was bounded by US-50 and CASR-16.
I currently live about 200 m from Santa Clara County Road G-4.

[TravelingBethelite]

350 feet down the street from me lies CT 302. Pretty darn close, and with a sidewalk too!

[corco]

At college I lived about 200 feet and 2 stories up on IL-38 in DeKalb

When I lived in Stevenson South I was 2,000 feet and 8 stories up from IL 38.

I spent 9 years of my life living about 200 feet from IL 38 in Geneva.

The only numbered highway I've ever lived right on (driveway access) is Arizona 77. 

[theline]

I had not posted on this thread because I thought that the closest to a highway that I ever lived was my current house, about an unimpressive half mile from US 20 in South Bend. It just occurred to me that when I was very young I lived about 800 feet from US 35 in Muncie. I had forgotten that 35 was routed along Wysor Street until some time in the late 1950s. (See the 1956 Shell Indiana highway map from the David Rumsey collection: http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/workspace/handleMediaPlayer?lunaMediaId=RUMSEY~8~1~212070~5500208.)

Wysor is the east-west red line near the middle of Muncie:

When I was a teenager my dads office was on the 5th floor of this building here:  https://www.google.com/maps/@41.9960618,-87.8661798,540a,20y,239.86h,44.89t/data=!3m1!1e3
