πππ They're in for a surprise. I can drive 2 hours and still be in my state.
I can drive for two hours and still be in the same roundabout.
I can drive 7 hours and still be on the same roundabout.
I can drive 2 hours in still be in Austin.
could that really be called driving?
I had a car like that once.
I can drive two hours and still be in my county! (Itβs stupid).
We have like 120 counties. Dunno why.
More like 190 or so.
That's not really impressive. I can drive 5 hours and still be in the same state. In Germany.
I'm actually curious. Putting aside alaska, is there any competition for longest highway in a state? I could imagine florida and california both having roads that could rival texas' longest. Maybe if it's a really windy one in montana or wisconsin.
Not to brag, but the longest Road in Europe is 8641km (5369 miles) long. Though to be fair, it's only partially in Europe, the last 4000 (Β±1000 as there's no clear border between Europe and Asia) kilometers are in Asia. The longest road that is completely in Europe is only 5190 km (3225 miles) long.
Dam, if I drive an hour the right direction in in Sweden
Same here, but that's where I started.
I can drive 2h and be in jail (I don't have my driver's license).
I'd guess you could find a 2 hour straight line in any state without crossing a border, except maybe Rhode Island.
Looks like Delaware might just qualify as well, and Connecticut if it actually had a major roadway on the diagonal from the SW to NE might as well, but the routing Google is giving me goes just over 2h
