The old name Highway 54 referred to which major Manila thoroughfare?

• A. Epifanio de los Santos Avenue
• B. Taft Avenue
• C. Highway 54
• D. Roxas Boulevard

Answer: (C)

In the old highway system, major Manila routes carried numeric designations. Highway 54 was assigned to the road now known as Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), the main north–south artery through Metro Manila. So the old name Highway 54 refers to EDSA. Taft Avenue and Roxas Boulevard are separate, historic streets with their own origins, not the Highway 54 designation.
