Virginia State Route 667 (VA 667) is a secondary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia. As a secondary route, the designation is applied to one or more local road segments that are maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) but are generally under the jurisdiction of the counties through which they pass.
General characteristics
- Classification – Secondary state highway (numbers 600 and above).
- Maintenance – Primarily the responsibility of VDOT with assistance from the respective county governments.
- Route continuity – Like many secondary routes in Virginia, VA 667 may consist of multiple, non‑contiguous segments located in different counties. Each segment typically serves local traffic, providing connections between residential areas, farms, and primary highways.
- Signage – Route markers display the number “667” on the standard Virginia secondary route shield (a white circle with a black outline).
Context within Virginia’s highway system
Virginia’s highway network is divided into primary and secondary routes. Primary routes (U.S. Highways, Interstate Highways, and primary state routes numbered 1 to 599) serve regional and statewide travel. Secondary routes, numbered 600 and higher, are chiefly intended for local access and are often less than a mile in length, though some may be longer. The numbering scheme does not guarantee a single continuous corridor; the same number can be reused in different parts of the state.
Typical usage
Secondary routes such as VA 667 usually carry low traffic volumes and provide connections to the primary highway system, agricultural areas, and residential neighborhoods. They may be known locally by street names rather than by their numerical designation.
