US for me:
US 101 (west)
US 26 (north)/US 30 (north/northeast)
US 20 (South)
US 197/97 (east)

State Routes:
North/West: (OR 18/OR 99W)
East: (OR 141/OR 99E)
South/West: (OR 219/214/99E)

US Routes for me:
US 422 to the north & east
US 222 to the west
US 30 to the south
US 202 to the south & east

State Routes:
PA 23 to the north
PA 100 to the west
PA 401 to the south
PA 113 to the south and east

Where I lived last year, I wouldn't be able to do a complete state-route block:
PA 23 to the north
PA 29 to the east; but PA 29 heading south doesn't cross another PA state route, so...
US 202 to the south
PA 401 to the south and west
PA 113 to the west

Quote from: OscarJust I-495. I live between I-66 and I-395, but there's no Interstate connection east of me between those routes, so I have to make do with I-495 north, south, and east of D.C. as those sides of my "block".

However, I-395/I-695/I-295 lobs a good chunk out of that block...😊

US: US-64, US-1, US-70, US-15/501

Where I live: I-95 to I-295 (NJ) to I-76 to I-676 (NJ). Interestingly, when I-95 is rerouted to the PA Turnpike this will not change except I'll have to label I-295 (PA-NJ) because other interchanges would be required to shorten my block (chiefly the Pearl Harbor Extension with I-295).
Where I work: I-295 (NJ) to the West and I-195 (NJ) to the North. Nothing but ocean in the other directions. I guess I-264 (VA) comes closest to being the Southern Interstate. If so it's I-264 (VA) to I-64 to I-295 (VA) to I-95 to I-495 (VA-MD) to I-95 to I-695 (MD) to I-95 to I-295 (DE-NJ) to I-195 (NJ)

For me,

I-90/I-94/I-29

US 14/US 87/US 212/US 85

State routes is kinda a pain but SD 34/WY 24/WY 111 and there really isn't anything on the south side.

US 20, US 250, US 224, US 23, US 6

OH 18, OH 4, OH 547, OH 269

I-93, I-95, and I-495.

And if our pipe dreams come true and US 3 becomes something (I-89?), I'd literally live within a true block.

I-93, I-95 and I-495 here as well, but the South Shore version. (So really I-93, I-95, I-495, and the ocean.)

US routes:
US 1 to the north and west, US 44 to the south

MA routes:
MA 3A. It basically touches the ocean both north and south of my house

Since the convo has expanded to US and state routes, here are mine...

MA 110 (north), MA 38 (east), MA 129 (south), MA 3A (west). If we had a hybrid with interstates, I-495 would replace MA 110.

US 4/202 (north), US 3 (west/south), US 1 (east)

State Routes

CA 99, CA 180, CA 63, CA 201

US Routes; this will be much wider since there aren't many left in California.

US 101, US 20, US 395, No US Route to the south

Historic US Routes

US 99, US 50, US 395, US 466

If we're doing work locations, the interstate and US routes remain the same, but work is KY 15 and KY 1812.
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

If we're now doing US and state highways:

MA 28 to the west
MA 129 to the east
I-95/MA 128 to the north
MA 60 to the south

Three of these routes are two miles or less from my house.

I'm outside an actual Interstate block; between I-280 and the ocean.  However, when it comes to designated highways, I-280 is one of the boundaries of my particular "block", consisting of (1) I-280 (2) CA 87 (3) CA 85 and (4) CA 17.

I-5 to the east and that is it in Sherwood. The only other possible argument is I 80 600 miles south but that is really far away.

Same, but Tualatin. (Hey neighbor!) If the Sunset ever gets an Interstate designation (ha!) that would at least be closer than I-80.

When I lived in Lake Oswego growing up, it would've been I-5, I-205 and I-84.

Edit: Since we're doing US and state routes now, mine are:


  • US Routes

    • US-26 to the north
    • US-20 to the south
    • US-97 to the east
    • US-101 to the west
  • State Routes

    • OR-217 to the north
    • OR-219 and OR-214 to the south
    • OR-141 to the east
    • OR-99W to the west

I'll add in US and IL routes

US:
US 51/US 62/US 60/US 45/US 50

IL:
IL 13/IL 149/IL 127/IL 146/IL 37/IL 148

I have to enter MO for my Interstate Block and enter KY for my US Route Block

For Work Location, Interstate is the same.

US: US 51/US 50/US 67/US 61/US 62/US 60

IL: IL 149/IL 127/IL 13/IL 4/IL 151/IL 3

Decommissioned US 460 would be part of both US Route Blocks

Jmiles32

Interstates:
I-66 to the north
I-64 and I-295 to the south
I-95 and I-495 to the east
I-81 to the west

US Highways:
US-29 to the north
US-15/US-29 to the west
US-1 to the east
US-17 to the south
US-50 to the northeast

Hmm... what interstates are around my block??

I-80/90 (Indiana Toll Road), I-94 (to the north)
I-65 (to the west)
I-865, I-465 (to the south)
I-69 (to the east)

Total Mileage: 431 miles (complete circle)

It turns out that South Bend is on the same block, so mine is the same.

If US 31 ever gets upgraded to I-67, we'd be on separate blocks. My block would be:
I-80/90 (Indiana Toll Road)
I-69 (on the east)
I-465 (on the south)
I-67 (on the west)
