Since the phrase "this historic U.S. highway" is used in the question, I'd think just 66 would be enough, right?

The original term is "skid road" and it originated in the Pacific Northwest, not just Seattle. Thanks in advance for amending.

A bit London- and New York-centric... how about: Beale St, Memphis; Royal Mile, Edinburgh; Unter den Linden, Berlin; Graben, or alternatively, the Ringstrasse, Vienna; La Rambla, Barcelona?

Most of those feature in the Cities by Famous Street series by myself and quizmaster, though, while making those quizzes, I found that London and New York have a huge number of famous streets compared to literally every other city in the world. I could have put both cities on every installment of the 5-part series and had more left over.
