Highway 10 (VI 10) is a road on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Usually referred to as Center Line Road by locals, as it runs through the center of the island, Highway 10 runs from Highway 20 in Cruz Bay across St. John, entering Virgin Islands National Park along the way. Route 10 has three auxiliary routes, Highway 104, Highway 107, and Highway 108.

Route description

The route begins at U.S. Virgin Islands Highway 20 in Cruz Bay. From there, it enter several suburbs and enters Virgin Islands National Park, where the surrounding land is green grass. The route then meets U.S. Virgin Islands Highway 104 along Centerline Road and exits the park. Nearing Coral Harbor, it skims a small shoreline community before reentering the park, ending at a dead end near Round Bay.

Highway 30 is a major road on St. Thomas, USVI.

U.S. Virgin Islands Highway 32 (VI 32) is a primary territorial highway on the island of St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands. It runs about 3.9 miles (6.3 km) from VI 38 in Tutu to VI 38 at the Red Hook Ferry Terminal in Red Hook.

VI 32 serves as an access route between Charlotte Amalie and the southeastern areas of St. Thomas.

Highway 33 is a road on St. Thomas, USVI. It runs from Highway 30 near Frenchtown and takes a northerly path toward Crown Mountain. The road takes a circuitous route around the mountain; the route initially bypasses it to the west, then swings east and follows the mountain's north side. Highway 33 then intersects Highway 333, which provides access to St. Thomas' north and east sides, and it takes a southeasterly turn to meet Highway 40. Highway 33 continues east-southeast, intersecting Highway 379 before ending at Highway 35.

Highway 35 is a road on St. Thomas, USVI. Beginning in an intersection with Highway 30 overlooking St. Thomas Harbor, the road runs north through eastern Charlotte Amalie, passing by Fort Christian. Once out of the immediate vicinity of the town, Highway 35 begins its twisty journey north to Magens Bay. The road passes Highway 33 and has a brief multiplex with Highway 40 before turning to the northeast to meet Highway 42. Highway 35 finally turns north again and dead-ends at the entrance to Magens Bay Beach.

Highway 37 is a road on St. Thomas. Running just over two miles from a junction with Highway 33 to the Hull Bay beach, the road's function is to serve the north central part of St. Thomas. When combined with stretches of Highway 404 and Highway 301, it provides a safer but longer route to the west side of the island instead of using the clogged Highway 30 or the mountainous Highway 40 and Highway 33.

Highway 38 is a major road on St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Starting at Highway 35 in the eastern part of Charlotte Amalie, the road runs in an east–west direction. Along its path, Highway 38 serves as the southern terminus of Highway 39 and Highway 42, and the northern terminus of Highway 32. Past Highway 42, the road turns south and runs along the eastern coast of St. Thomas. Finally, as the road turns back west near Red Hook, its designation changes to Highway 32.

Highway 39 is a road on St. Thomas, USVI. Starting at Highway 42 near the Mahogany Run Golf Course, it runs in a north–south direction across the eastern portion of the island. After a brief multiplex with Highway 40, the road ends at Highway 38 a few miles east of Charlotte Amalie.

Highway 40 is a road on St. Thomas, USVI. Starting at a junction with Highway 42 on the eastern shore of St. Thomas, the road is about seven miles (11 km) long. Highway 40 serves several small towns in the eastern and central parts of St. Thomas. After the junction with Highway 42, the road continues west for a few miles, multiplexing with Highway 37 along the way, until it turns southward to meet Highway 33. Highway 40 then starts its descent into Charlotte Amalie. It enters the town on Gamle Norsidevei, until it meets Prindsesse Gade, which is one-way westbound. Traffic is directed onto Prindsesse to Nye Norsidevei, which is one-way southbound, which then meets Dronnigens Gade. Traffic on Dronnigens Gade wishing to access Highway 40 must turn right on General Gade, left on Prindsesse, and finally right onto Gamle Norsidevei.
