[edit] Notes

U.S. Route 68 takes a north-south route throughout much of Ohio. In Bellefontaine and Xenia, it intersects with U.S. Route 33 and U.S. Route 35 (respectively) at counterintuitive angles. Both of those highways take east-west routes at their intersections with 68, despite their being marked as north-south.
