Re: “which one is the LONGEST? Looks like I-80 to me.”Conceptually, the two maps are cool. But they're far from accurate. Whoever drew them took considerable artistic license.

Look at highway 50 on the maps below. 50 is drawn to be the southernmost of the three highways that leave San Francisco. The map shows it running southeast from San Francisco, through Yosemite and well toward Vegas. In reality, 50 heads slightly northeast, through Sacramento and Tahoe. It would be the middle of the three San Francisco highways... what they're calling 60.

But then there's 60. I lived near there for 30 years and I'm completely unfamiliar with it! Maybe I drove part of 60 on my trip last year; I don't know. In any case, 60 actually ends in southwest Arizona. It doesn't go to California at all.

So, like I said, it's conceptual. I wouldn't use it to draw any conclusions as to which highway is longest - though 80, which I've seen in Pennsylvania, would get my vote.
