You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.208.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''North Carolina Highway 68''' ('''NC&nbsp;68''') is a north&ndash;south [[state highway]] in [[North Carolina]]. It serves as a connector between [[Interstate 40 in North Carolina|Interstate 40]] (I-40)/ [[U.S. Route 421 in North Carolina|U.S. Route 421]] (US&nbsp;421) and [[Piedmont Triad International Airport]] (via [[Interstate 73 in North Carolina|I-73]]). On its routing from [[Thomasville, North Carolina|Thomasville]] to [[Stokesdale, North Carolina|Stokesdale]], NC&nbsp;68 passes through urban [[High Point, North Carolina|High Point]], the western outskirts of [[Greensboro, North Carolina|Greensboro]], and the town of [[Oak Ridge, North Carolina|Oak Ridge]]. The segment from just north of the I-40/US 421 interchange to Pleasant Ridge Road in [[Guilford County, North Carolina|Guilford County]] is a limited access freeway.

==Route description==
Beginning in the south at [[Interstate 85 Business (North Carolina)|Business I-85]]/[[U.S. Route 29 in North Carolina|US&nbsp;29]]/[[U.S. Route 70 in North Carolina|US&nbsp;70]], the route travels north out of Thomasville in [[Davidson County, North Carolina|Davidson County]] as National Highway, a name which referred to the former routing of US 29/70 (later US 29A/70A) along this segment. Crossing from [[Davidson County, North Carolina|Davidson County]] into neighboring Guilford County and the city of High Point, NC 68 is cosigned with English Road. Approximately ((convert|1|mi|km|spell=in)) within the city limits, NC&nbsp;68 turns left onto Westchester Drive, a [[boulevard]] that bypasses High Point's downtown area. Arriving at the Main Street interchange, NC&nbsp;68 continues onto Eastchester Drive, another boulevard. After passing [[Oak Hollow Mall]], [[Interstate 74 (North Carolina)|I-74]] (High Point East Belt), and the [[Wendover Avenue]] interchange, NC&nbsp;68 and Eastchester Drive continue north into neighboring Greensboro.<ref name="google"/><ref name="2013 map">((cite map |publisher= [[North Carolina Department of Transportation]]|year=2013 |title= State Transportation Map |cartography=North Carolina State Tax Commission |edition=2013–14))</ref>

Shortly after entering Greensboro, NC&nbsp;68 meets Interstate 40/[[U.S. Route 421 in North Carolina|US&nbsp;421]], and becomes a [[Controlled-access highway|controlled access]] highway after a traffic signal controlled intersection with Triad Center Drive. Continuing north as a divided four-lane highway, NC&nbsp;68 has junctions with W. Market Street ([[Colfax, North Carolina|Colfax]] exit) and [[Interstate 73 in North Carolina|I-73]], the exit for [[Piedmont Triad International Airport]]. The road downgrades to an undivided primary road shortly after meeting the other I-73 junction for Martinsville. From there, the route heads north through the heart of [[Oak Ridge, North Carolina]], passing the [[Oak Ridge Military Academy]] at the route's intersection with [[North Carolina Highway 150|NC&nbsp;150]]. After crossing the [[Haw River]] into [[Stokesdale, North Carolina|Stokesdale]], NC&nbsp;68 crosses [[U.S. Route 158|US&nbsp;158]] and joins [[North Carolina Highway 65|NC&nbsp;65]] for a short ((convert|1|mi|km|adj=on)) concurrency, before splitting to the northeast en route to its northern terminus at [[U.S. Route 220 in North Carolina|US&nbsp;220]] in [[Rockingham County, North Carolina|Rockingham County]].<ref name="google"/><ref name="2013 map"/> This interchange doubles as the current northern terminus of I-73 though no direct access is provided between I-73 and NC&nbsp;68.<ref name="google"/>

==History==
The first NC 68 was an original state highway that traversed from [[North Carolina Highway 60|NC&nbsp;60]], in [[Millers Creek, North Carolina|Millers Creek]] (west of [[Wilkesboro, North Carolina|Wilkesboro]]), northwest through [[Glendale Springs, North Carolina|Glendale Springs]], [[Jefferson, North Carolina|Jefferson]] and [[Crumpler, North Carolina|Crumpler]], before crossing into [[Virginia]].<ref name="1924 map">((cite map |publisher= North Carolina State Highway Commission|year=1924 |title= The State Highway System of North Carolina|cartography=North Carolina State Tax Commission |edition=1924))</ref> By 1928, NC&nbsp;68 was rerouted west of Jefferson onto new primary routing west to the [[Tennessee]] state line; the old alignment becoming [[North Carolina Highway 681|NC&nbsp;681]].<ref name="1928 map">((cite map |publisher= North Carolina State Highway Commission|year=1928 |title= The State Highway System of North Carolina|cartography=North Carolina State Tax Commission |edition=1928))</ref>  In 1929, all of NC&nbsp;68 was replaced by an extension of [[North Carolina Highway 16|NC&nbsp;16]].<ref name="1928 map"/><ref name="1929 map">((cite map |publisher= North Carolina State Highway Commission|year=1929 |title= The State Highway System of North Carolina|cartography=North Carolina State Tax Commission |edition=1929))</ref>

The second and current NC&nbsp;68 was established in 1930 as a new primary routing from [[U.S. Route 70 in North Carolina|US&nbsp;70]]/[[U.S. Route 170 in North Carolina|US&nbsp;170]]/[[North Carolina Highway 10|NC&nbsp;10]], northeast of High Point, to [[North Carolina Highway 65|NC&nbsp;65]], in Stokesdale.<ref name="1929 map"/><ref name="1930 map">((cite map |publisher= North Carolina State Highway Commission|year=1930 |title= The State Highway System of North Carolina|cartography=North Carolina State Tax Commission |edition=1930))</ref> In 1936, NC&nbsp;68 was rerouted south through High Point to [[U.S. Route 29 Alternate (High Point, North Carolina 1934–1948)|US&nbsp;29A]]/[[U.S. Route 70 Alternate (High Point, North Carolina 1934-1948)|US&nbsp;70A]] (Lexington Avenue); its old alignment, along Penny Road, became a secondary road.<ref name="1935 map">((cite map |publisher= North Carolina State Highway Commission|year=1935 |title= The State Highway System of North Carolina|cartography=North Carolina State Tax Commission |edition=1935))</ref><ref name="1936 map">((cite map |publisher= North Carolina State Highway Commission|year=1936 |title= The State Highway System of North Carolina|cartography=North Carolina State Tax Commission |edition=1936))</ref>  In 1941, NC&nbsp;68 was extended north on new primary routing to [[U.S. Route 220 in North Carolina|US&nbsp;220]] (Sylvania Road).<ref name="1940 map">((cite map |publisher= North Carolina State Highway Commission|year=1940 |title= The State Highway System of North Carolina|cartography=North Carolina State Tax Commission |edition=1940))</ref><ref name="1941 map">((cite map |publisher= North Carolina State Highway Commission|year=1941 |title= The State Highway System of North Carolina|cartography=North Carolina State Tax Commission |edition=1941))</ref>

In 1952, NC&nbsp;68 was extended north to its current terminus with the then new US&nbsp;220 bypass, replacing part of old US&nbsp;220 (Sylvania Road).<ref name="1951 map">((cite map |publisher= North Carolina State Highway Commission|year=1951 |title= North Carolina Primary Highway System|cartography=North Carolina State Tax Commission |edition=1951))</ref><ref name="1952 map">((cite map |publisher= North Carolina State Highway Commission|year=1952 |title= North Carolina Primary Highway System|cartography=North Carolina State Tax Commission |edition=1952))</ref>  Between 1950 and 1953, NC&nbsp;68 was extended south to English Street.<ref name="1950 map">((cite map |publisher= North Carolina State Highway Commission|year=1950 |title= North Carolina Primary Highway System|cartography=North Carolina State Tax Commission |edition=1950))</ref><ref name="1953 map">((cite map |publisher= North Carolina State Highway Commission|year=1953 |title= North Carolina Primary Highway System|cartography=North Carolina State Tax Commission |edition=1953))</ref>  In 1956 or 1957, NC&nbsp;68 was extended to its current southern terminus, sharing a concurrency with [[U.S. Route 29 Alternate (High Point, North Carolina 1948–1991)|US&nbsp;29A]]/[[U.S. Route 70A (Greensboro-High Point, North Carolina)|US&nbsp;70A]], until 1991.<ref>((cite web |publisher= [[North Carolina Department of Transportation]] |url= https://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/safety/Route%20Changes/1991_07_16.pdf |format= PDF |title= US Route Changes (1991-07-16)|date= July 16, 1991 |access-date= March 23, 2014))</ref>  In 1982, NC&nbsp;68 was placed on new freeway connecting [[Interstate 40 in North Carolina|I-40]] and bypassing the [[Piedmont Triad International Airport]], its old alignment along Bull Road (today's Regional Road) a secondary road.<ref>((cite web |publisher= [[North Carolina Department of Transportation]] |url= https://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/safety/Route%20Changes/1982_03_01.pdf |format= PDF |page= 4 |title= NC Route Changes (1982-03-01)|date= March 1, 1982 |access-date= March 23, 2014))</ref>
