An unsigned one, yes.

Huh.  Makes me wonder how it has been missed on Travel Mapping.

3DI's would Be I-430 and I-630 in Little Rock.

I-24 would seem to be it, but I MAY have been on a concurrency in Nashville.

Other than that probably I-26.   I-57.

I have never technically been on I-76, but I was on I-80S before the numbering was changed.

If what I am reading online is accurate, both the eastern and western I-76 were I-80S in the past.
I was already aware of the eastern I-76 being that way with that change occurring in 1964, as I am in that part of the country, but I didn't know western I-76 was also that way (in the 70s??)
Which one do you mean?

For 2dis, my answer is I-14. My answer for 3dis is I-635, though I have intersected it.

Same, same, and same.
2-di: I-14
3-di: I-635, but have intersected it.

The Denver to Nebraska {US-6} one.  I really didn't realize there were two disparate segments like this. I have crossed the Walt Whitman Bridge so I have evidently been on the eastern segment.

Sounds like it's just a designation by MDOT rather than recognized by FHWA as part of the Interstate Highway System.

My answer, as a Québecer who never went to the US, is probably I-95.

2di: I-43
3di: Until about a month ago, my answer would have been I-235 (The one in Iowa). Now my answer is a bit more complicated. From home, the closest 3di I haven't been on is I-474, with I-172 in a very close second. From school, the closest 3di I haven't been on is I-129.

Likewise, any Europeans that have never been to the US like me have I-95 as the answer.

Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

95 would also be the answer for any South Americans or southern Central Americans that haven't been closer to the US - but through its southernmost extent in Miami.

Seems to me for most in the province of Québec who never crossed the border it would be I-87, 89, or 91.

2di: I-89 (was going to say I-90 until I realized I have been on the portion east of the I-93 interchange)
3di: I-395 (MA/CT) (I have been on 290 though) or I-291 (CT)
Yes, I have been on portions of all of the major interstates in RI, MA, and CT (84 and 91 were CT only)

Close call for me...
Overall: I-878 just beats I-478 (I rarely drive in NYC)
2-digit: I-87 in North Carolina beats I-73, but that's fairly close, too

For 2DI, it's likely I-49 for N-S interstates and I-44 for E-W interstates. It's possible I-96 is closer in straight line distance.

For 3DI, I assume it's I-535, with I-172 ready to take over that title when (and if) I go to Duluth in August.

I should update this and give an explanation. For 2di's, the N-S interstate remains I-49. As for the closest E-W interstate, I was not on I-44 as signed in 2006, the year I was last in St. Louis, but I have been on the parts of the current I-44 which used to be I-70 and I-55 before the Stan Musial Bridge was built. If it counts that I have been on I-44, then I assume it's I-96.

For 3di's, I made it to Duluth and, in spite of the current construction there, made it onto I-535, so now it's officially I-172.
