First road ever: some random dirt roads in Phippsburg, Maine.

Phippsburg!  Not a place I hear a lot about.  I was a regular camper at Hermit Island until my particular group of campers disintegrated.  I miss it there.

 Altho it was 46 yrs ago I'm sure these are accurate  :nod:
Interstate: 75 Richmond, KY. We jumped on 75 from US 421(?) on my 1st long distance drive, Fayetteville, NC to Detroit, MI to Ft Lauderdale, FL in 1969. Dad let me plan the route, I dont remember the exact routing but we went from Fayetteville thru Winston-Salem north into VA thru Big Stone Gap, VA to Richmond, KY.

US Route: 301, Fayetteville, NC
State Route: NC 87. My bedroom window faced the intersection of NC87& Honeycutt Rd, Ft Bragg, NC. I saw alot of serious crashes there.
County Route: Kent 368, DE.
Canadian Hwy: ALB 2(?) from the MT line enroute to Alaska 1965. I didnt drive this one I was only 12 yrs old but I wish I could have.
I had my own Kodak Instamatic camera & I took alot of pictures enroute to Alaska but they were lost in the tornado, Little Heaven, DE. June 77 :-o :-(
BUY AMERICAN MADE.
SPEED SAFELY.

Interstate:  29 (2di) and 480 (3di)

US 75  (since relocated out of state, btw)

Iowa 183

County would have been an unmarked at the time dirt road.

Here are my probables.  I started driving in 1980.

Interstate - I-94
US Route - one of these four: US-12, US-23, US-27 or US-127.  Of course, US-27 in Michigan is now US-127.
State Route - M-52
County - D-19?

jemacedo9

Interstate:  I believe it was I-95 in far eastern CT eastbound
US Highways:  US 202 in PA
State Highways:  I lived on PA 113
Signed County Route:  this I don't remember, but if I had to guess, NJ Co Rt 541

As I grew up in a major metropolitan area, these routes don't come from my direct recollection, but from inference.

2di : I-88
3di : I-290

US : US-12/US-20/US-45

IL : IL-56

I-290   I-294   I-55   (I-74)   (I-72)   I-40   I-30   US-59   US-190   TX-30   TX-6

doorknob60

Interstate: I think I-84, may have been I-5 though.
Bonus 3DI: I-205 (Portland)
US: US-97 most likely; possibly US-20. Both within Bend city limits.
Bonus 3DUS: US-197.
State Route: Tough one. Probably OR-126 if you count its overlap with US-20 from Sisters to Santiam Pass. If not, maybe OR-22. Could also be OR-35 maybe.
County: No idea, those aren't really signed around here.

Thing 342

Interstate: I-64
US Highway: US-17
State Highway: VA-143
County Highway: No idea, maybe Morgan, WV CR-7.
Secondary Highway: York, VA SR-1800.

I-80
CA-37
US-50


Business 80 Sacramento.


Buck87

Interstate: 80 & 90 together (Ohio Turnpike)
US route: 20
State route: It's definitely one of these four, but I have no idea which one: OH 18, OH 113, OH 269, OH 4
County Road: Bismark Rd (Huron County - which has named roads with mostly hidden numbers)

sbeaver44

Interstate: almost certainly I-81
US Route: US 15
State Route: probably PA 641
County Route: we don't really have these in PA, so I have to think... Possibly CR 857, Morgantown, WV

All of these were within a week of getting my license:

2di Interstate: I-80
3di Interstate: I-880
US Route: US-101
State Route (freeway): CA-17 (within an hour of getting my license)

That's funny! Me and my family always like to go to Sebasco every summer around Independence Day, so I drove on a few back roads there a few weeks before my 16th birthday. Beautiful area!

Even though I'm from Canada, I'll conform to the restriction and take a trip down memory lane:

First 3di - I-190 in Niagara Falls, NY
First 2di - I-94/I-69 in Port Huron, MI
First US route - US-62 in Niagara Falls, NY

First Provincial/State Route (non-freeway) - *tough one* Ontario Highway 89 in Alliston, ON
First Provincial/State Route (freeway) - Ontario Highway 410 in Brampton, ON
First County/Regional Route - Airport Road in Brampton, ON (Peel Regional Route 7)

Garden State Parkway as Clark, NJ had no numbered routes as first freeway in Drivers Ed.
It would have to be either US 1 or US 22 for US routes.
Definitely I-78 for interstate.  I drove that one with my permit before I got my license.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

Well over two decades ago:

US 202:  Downtown New Milford, CT
I-84:  Downtown Danbury, CT
CT 133:  Downtown Bridgewater, CT
No idea on the county route, I don't recall any being signed in the area.

leroys73

I-44 or I-70.  Probably I-44 as it was replacing US 66 in MO. That was a long time ago and difficult to remember.

US 62

Oklahoma 7

Some unmarked county road that was probably dirt.
