What the common term in your area? In Nova Scotia the original highways routes are usually referred to as "Trunk" 1 or "Trunk" 2. The parallel freeway: "Highway" 102 or just "The One Oh Two". Highway 104 is usually "The Trans Canada" And the secondary roads: "Route" 245 "Route" 337 etc.
Would anyone call the "102" the "One Zero Two"?
And is Ontario's famous "Four Oh One" ever referred to as the "Four Zero One"

A "Trunk Highway" is an elephant's favorite road.

This depends on the area you're in and can vary WIDELY.
In the Great Lakes region, you have the following:
Ontario: Provincial ("King's") Highways, Secondary Highways and Tertiary Highways are all referred to in the same manner, e.g. "Highway 10," "Highway 562" and "Highway 801." Wisconsin: ALL numbered (state) and lettered (county) routes are referred to as "Highway xx" as well. I-94 is "Highway 94," US-10 is "Highway 10," STH-57 is "Highway 57" and CTH-B is "Highway B." Illinois, Indiana, Ohio: Generally, it's "Route xx" for all numbered highways except Interstates. US-52 is "Route 52" Michigan: One of the odd-balls in North America, as Michiganders actually know and embrace the differences between the numbered routes in their state. No such thing as "Highway xx" or "Route xx" in Michigan! I-96 is "I-96," US-23 is "US-23" and M-46 is "M-46."
> Would anyone call the "102" the "One Zero Two"?
Not that I'm aware of. In my experience, routes numbered from "1" through "100" are stated precisely as they are written. Those triple- digit routes from "x01" through "x09" (e.g. "101" and "605") are all stated "Highway One-Oh-One" and "Highway Six-Oh-Five." Those triple- digit routes from "x10" through "x99" (e.g. "112" and "645") are all stated "Highway One-Twelve" and "Highway Six-Forty Five."
> And is Ontario's famous "Four Oh One" ever referred to as the "Four > Zero One"
Never. Actually, I've never heard "x-Zero-x" stated anywhere in North America, outside the remote possibility of Emergency Dispatch, where the law enforcement or EMTs need to be as clear as possible when trying to send response vehicles out to accident locations. But as people speak, no, "Four Zero One" isn't said.

We call it by the prefix, either I-, US- or M-. Many states will just say route xxx for any of the above. Of course, you might not be interested in any of since, because these are communist roads like in your country.

Oi queef: "M" is a prefix used in Rooski and other Commie Countries for "M"agistral highway. You pro-choice poster child, you.

I would disagree for Indiana (and Ohio, I think). InDOT, the media, and locals all refer to them as "state roads" abbreviated "SR". Therefore, you even see highway signs referring to "SR 67", for example. Never would anything official say "route"; it is always "state road" or "SR". The only exception I saw to this was NW Indiana where locals may say "route" or "Indiana" more often as the media is dominated by Chicago where the do say route. US highways are "US xx" and Interstate highways are "I-xx" in Indiana - i.e. correct.
Away from the midwest, whenever I hear things like car chases in Southern California on the news, the call everything "the". For example, "the 5 freeway", "the 10 freeway", "the 91 freeway", etc. Is that California-wide?

Also, if I remember correctly, Kansas has the same idea as Michigan: for example, K-16.

Yes, and not only that, but for a few years in the 1970s, the Kansas City Star also tried to use a similar designation for Missouri state highways in the Kansas City area (e.g. "M-291"). No one picked *that* up.
Richie may want to chime in here, but I seem to recall that the economic development council (or group) in Desoto is named "K-Ten, Inc." It looks a little *too* much like "K-Tel" to me, but Desoto *is* on K-10....

Not Ohio, at least not in the north half or so. The "R" stands for "route" even in official nomenclature.

I have also heard that "Highway xx" is common downstate.

California-wide?
No, and in fact, apparently people in Northern California distance themselves from this practice, as noted in the three newspaper articles listed at http://groups.google.com/groups?th=12b17ff17d9c2adb . However, at least regarding the U.S., this *is* common in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area (likely because of ties to nearby Ontario). Canada and Great Britain (and other anglo countries IIRC) do this as well.
Here are some old threads discussing this topic (and WELL-discussed it has been):
news:f47fb570.0410170421.5dbf781c@posting.google.com... : What the common term in your area? In Nova Scotia the original : highways routes are usually referred to as "Trunk" 1 or "Trunk" 2.

In NJ (and seems like in PA too) they just say "route" ["root" not "rowt"] whatever. in NJ, there is no double numbering, i.e., there is an I295 but there would never be a NJ295. there is no NJ1, NJ95, NJ287, etc. so you never have to worry about confusing people.

In Southern Ohio, it's the number for interstates ("75", "275", etc.). OH 4 was called "Route 4" in a commercial for a Fairfield business way back when(where the road is Dixie Highway, as well as how mail is addressed), and I remember the jingle being "Landmark Ford, Route 4 in Fairfield!"

too.
Not in general. The only "C" route in Colorado is C-470, and the Nebraska practice is limited to official documents. Never heard about Oklahoma. (Anybody?)

I've lived in the shadow of Oklahoma for most of my life, and the only place I've seen an Oklahoma state highway referenced as "O-xx" is in Tom From Ohio's posts.

Queef, explain to me what basis you have for this assumption that this is Tom From Ohio? I would be interested in that, because I think you're wrong as usual. I doubt he knows enough about Ohio to even attempt to do something like that. I swear, if you want to see a troll, look in the mirror :-P

Ask anyone here. I have many people who told me that Jeremy is Tom From Ohio. Maybe it is you, Trent instead.
