State Route 360 (SR 360) is a short east–west route in Buckeye Lake, Ohio. SR 360 starts and ends at SR 79, paralleled to the shore of Buckeye Lake. The route was designated in 1938, and has not changed significantly since.
Route description
SR 360 is mostly in Fairfield County, with a small part in Licking County.{{Google Maps|url=https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Ohio+State+Route+360&hl=en&ll=39.920533,-82.504964&spn=0.017872,0.042272&sll=39.926638,-82.498183&sspn=0.009001,0.021136&hnear=Ohio+360,+Ohio&t=m&z=15|title=Ohio State Route 360|access-date=August 22, 2013}} It is aligned to a part of the northern shore of Buckeye Lake. SR 360 is also known as North Bank Road, an undivided highway. Some parts of the centerline are covered by pothole repairs. Around 730 cars travel the road on average each day at the beginning of the route, and 1,270 near the end of the route.{{cite web |url=http://tims.dot.state.oh.us/TIMS/Map/MapViewer |title=Transportation Information Mapping System |author=Staff |date= |website= |publisher=Ohio Department of Transportation |access-date=August 22, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130916101641/http://tims.dot.state.oh.us/TIMS/Map/MapViewer |archive-date=September 16, 2013 |url-status=dead }}
The road starts at an at-grade intersection of SR 79 and Canal Road. Then, it moves southeast and parallels Buckeye Lake. After a bit more than a mile later, SR 360 heads north and ends at SR 79. The majority of the route is inside residential areas. Despite being near Buckeye Lake, the lake is not visible from the road. The route's path is that of an irregularly shaped "U", with westernmost and easternmost of the route following north–south roads.
