  U.S. Route 60 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As of 2005, the highway's eastern terminus is in Virginia Beach, Virginia at Pacific Avenue in the city's oceanfront resort district at the Rudee Inlet Bridge.
In the original 1926 routing, US 60's western terminus was in Springfield, Missouri at its intersection with Route 66.
In New Kent County, US 60 is a lightly-traveled four-lane divided highway that is sometimes used as an alternate route to the congested Interstate 64.

 U.S. Route 101 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
U.S. Route 101, or U.S. Highway 101 (often just US 101), is a north-south highway that runs parallel to the West Coast of the United States.
U.S. Route 101 is often referred to as the Oregon Coast Highway in Oregon, and as the Pacific Highway in parts of Washington and California.
US 101 then passes through Humboldt County, where it travels through Humboldt Redwoods State Park and a portion of the highway that is known as the Avenue of the Giants for the huge, centuries-old redwood trees that can be found there.

 California Highways (www.cahighways.org): Routes 97 through 104
US 99W and US 40 were likely co-signed with Route 16 down N, 9th, and M Streets west to the junction of 5th and M, where Route 16 was joined by Route 24 and continued up 5th and I to the I Street Bridge.
US 40A is established on the routing of Route 24 from Reno Junction to Woodland; however, unlike Route 24, US 40A is routed to bypass Sacramento by a co-signage on US 99W between Main Street in Woodland and Russell Boulevard in Davis (on what is now Route 113).
US 99W and US 40 west between Sacramento and Davis are removed officially in favor of Interstate 80; US 99W north of Davis (as well as US 40A) is replaced with Route 113 and I-5, with the co-signed portion in Woodland becoming solely Route 16.

 U.S. Highway Ends: maps and terminus photos
US highways are not the same as interstate highways.
Highways highlighted in pink are 3-digit routes with numbers that I consider to be major violations of the US route numbering system.
All highways are shown in the context of their "route family" (in other words, 3-digit branch routes are shown on the same map as their 2-digit parent route).

 U. S Highways: From US 1 to (US 830)

When the US highway system was established, most of this system was absorbed into the nascent numbering system, some was not.

This is looking north on old US 27 as it leaves Indiana for the State of Michigan.
