Welcome to Eric Buchanan's Highway Photos Web Site!

This hobby website is intended for highway enthusiasts and people who work with highways, to allow you to see many photos from highway trips across the US and Canada.  If you're a fan of roads, you have come to the right place. This site emphasizes road trips heavily, and doesn't include any exit lists (too many others have done that much better than I can.)

I also have a few sign photos. I was one of the first sites to host a large number of highway photos. Of course my photos of Interstate 80 are the most popular on my entire site.

I cover all kinds of highways. Interstate highways, US Highways, state highways, county highways, and Canadian highways. And also I have photos of former highways.

Please contribute to my site by sending in your highway. photos on my submissions page.

Thank you to all the contributors to my site! I am open to all highway related correspondence and people have written me with information about highways I did not know at all. I cannot provide travel advice nor map directions, as lined out in the frequently asked questions page.

My first set of links is of Interstates and US Highways (including some former US Highways), and the other categories are at the bottom of the page.

An asterisk denotes that some or all the route shown is scenic. For the computer generated galleries click on the thumbnail to see the full size photo.

For those of you who know me guess what: The virus is still going on where I live. I have not been sick since late February 2020. I still have not seen some of my friends since the start of the lockdown. I am still seriously burned out from covid even if I never had it. The only two impressions I still do are of Stacey Koon and George Costanza. I have not done a lot of road trips due to gas prices. I cannot believe the gas prices around here. My area is supposed to have another bad winter later this year. My area is cooler than normal for now. Scroll to the bottom to see the photos from my trips in November 2022 and in April 2023 during lulls in the rain. I have a new gallery generator so click on the thumbnails to see the full size pictures. I might do a road trip to Sunnyvale or East San Jose soon. Sellouts are not family and I have not been to southern California in almost 15 years. I never was down there from Christmas 1990 to July 2001. No highway fans have written me from that area in 15 years. I did get all my photos from that area back online. When I was at SJSU there were classes on Veteran's Day. That meant I was on I280 with 110 mph traffic! None of them got pulled over though. And I used to live by a speed trap. I remember in 1991 the mailman got a ticket and his mail truck was towed off. Not related to traffic tickets but in 1985 our mailman got arrested for throwing out everyone's junk mail. He went to Round Table to lunch every day and threw out people's junk mail during his lunch hour. He did a year in prison. I got a set of LED blue Christmas lights already. This will save money because my electric rate is high. And they are super bright. Frontier sent me bills two months after I canceled my service. The only downside to having T-Mobile home internet is that it is slower after the power goes off and then comes back on. It takes 15 minutes to be full speed after the power goes off. It is 200 megabits per second to maybe 300 megabits per second normally. It is the most idiot proof ISP I ever have had. The modem updates the firmware automatically and unlike the DSL modems I had with Verizon and Frontier I do not have to mess around with it. Frontier was nothing but trouble and especially if you called them for any reason. I know a family that actually is happy with fiber optic from them but they live close to the Frontier office. So it is fast for them. There are a lot of houses with Halloween lights in my part of town now. No joke maybe 30 houses close to me leave at least a little of their Christmas lights up the past few years. A few houses more have started putting up at least a little of their Christmas lights up already.

This cat is related to my 1990s cats. This is from June 2023. He is related to the orange tomcat from the 1990s and another orange cat I see some of the time.





This is from February 2023. The cat on the left looks like Jake. He got on the roof of this house this week. The cat on the right is related to my 1990s cats. He is related to the black and white cats I had in the 1990s and to Kiki. There have been others like him out here since 2010 and they are all related to the cats I had in the 1990s.




This is from 7/27/2023. I see the back of this house from my house. This house left their Christmas lights up all year and they are about 200 yards away from where I live. About 24 houses left them up near where I live. Some of those houses are way up in the hills. I did a ride around my neighborhood and took a photo of these lights.



 
This was from 2/24/2023. This was the coldest, most miserable day I have seen in California. It was only 44 for a high and the local mountains got more snow than I have ever seen here. The fires in 2020 burned to the ridge behind the highest ridge line shown here. I took this on my walk. The house to the left is in my neighborhood. The rest of the houses shown in the first photo are row houses half a mile away.








This is from 4/18/2023 through a zoom lens of the wildflowers I could see from the front window in my house.
