Route 36 is a 5.44-mile-long (8.75 km) north–south state highway in southeastern Massachusetts.

The highway then crosses the MBTA Commuter Rail at Halifax station.

This road is locally famous as the location of the former Hobomock Inn, a tavern linked to the famous Massachusetts politician, James Michael Curley.

The legend is that Curley designated this rural road as a state highway so that his cronies from Boston could find it more easily following state highway signage.

It is also a fact that after it was so designated snow removal for Route 36 became a state, rather than town, responsibility.
