Ohio State Highway 59 is a signed route that was certified 1969. It runs from the combined I-76/I-77 in Akron to Route 5 on the east side of Ravenna. The general route was designated as Route 5 from 1932 to 1969, however Route 5 now takes a turn south on a freeway south of Ravenna rather than heading west to Cuyahoga Falls and Akron. The portion from I-76/I-77 to Howard Street is a freeway officially known as the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway but is more commonly referred to as the Innerbelt. The highway is also freeway as it shares Route 8 from Perkins Street in Akron to Front Street in Cuyahoga Falls. The rest of the highway is formed by regular roads, with the exception of the Haymaker Parkway in Kent, which is a bypass with cross streets. Local residents do not normally think of the Akron portions of Route 59 by that name, instead they refer to it as the Innerbelt, Martin Luther King Boulevard, Perkins Street, or Route 8.
