Daily conversation: What is the worst possible answer?

US-24.

Just to see how people argue about how to drive it in Kit Carson County, Colorado.

That applies to a lot of Colorado US Routes - US6 in the mountains, US160 in Walsenburg, formerly US85 in Colorado Springs. We're not good at US Routes.

Do those others also have a physical gap, where the route designation jumps across thirty yards of grassy neutral space?  I would personally love to see an online discussion between US-24 foamers about what to do with that.

Yeah. Officially, Highway 006K (US6 in Glenwood Springs) goes from the Roundabout on 6th Street west until Deveraux Road and it just stops. Deveraux Road doesn't have an exit to I-70 where US6 continues.

US160 isn't so much of a gap as it is the signage from I-25 not matching the official designation of the path through the city.

US85 formerly ended at an overpass in Colorado Springs, but now they designated it CO85, so that state route ends at the overpass instead.

Dang, yeah, now I remember discussion on here about each of those three, yet somehow I totally forgot about all of them.

Route 66, the Lincoln Highway...  Some routes get all the love, complete with websites and driving guides dedicated to them.

What less-talked-about highway doesn't get enough love in the driving enthusiast culture?  Why should it have its day in the limelight?

WV 68, for the following reasons:

• it's what I named my profile (TheGinger68) after
• because I said so

West Virginia Route 62

US 50. Besides the mileage signs at the beginning of the route in MD and CA, there ain't a damn thing interesting about it.

Not even the lovely burgs of Washington and Cincinnati and St Louis and Kansas City? What do they have in common?

You can hear gunshots within a few blocks of US 50's routing. That's "interesting".
