Hi, I'm Dave and I actually do say both Tennessee-xx and State Route xx (and sometimes even TN-xx) while in TN or referring to TN roads. Pleased to meet you.R4CLucky14 wrote:I don't know anyone that would call a Tennessee Route "State Route XX" or even "Tennessee-xx".
Of course I admit I am far from the average user.
On the evening news, US and state roads are always just "Highway xxx" and it freaking drives me nuts to hear it each time.
I know I am the Yankee who just moved to the south and I should adapt, but it is hard as a road geek. I mean I had the same type of "discussions" with people in NJ about NJ roads. (Where everything is "Route xxx".)
