How many US Routes have you clinched in your travels? I have clinched all of Missouri's US Routes. Favorite one was 67. Least favorite was 412.


Max Rockatansky

Off the top of my head:

US 199
US 163
US 550
US 92
US 192

I know there are more in the Mountain States but they are eluding me at the moment.

Not a whole lot overall.  I've clinched several in NC.

US 35
US 113
US 158
US 264
US 311

None so far. There are two US routes on which I've traveled at least half the distance: US 19 (51.7%, including the 19W/19E split) and US 29 (50.4%).

I do have a few US route clinches at the state level:
US 1 in D.C.
US 11E in Virginia (granted, it's less than a mile)
US 15 in Maryland
US 19 in Tennessee (just the unified part, not 19W/19E)
US 29 in D.C. and Maryland
US 50 in D.C. (also the main Maryland portion, but not the bit in the western panhandle)
US 123 in Georgia
US 340 in West Virginia and Maryland (and the tiny bit in Virginia connecting them, but not the main Virginia portion)

US-44 (the new and the old alignment!) and possibly US-7.

OK, US-7 isn't clinched by me. The one time I went to Montreal we came back via Grand Isle.

US 222 is the only one I've fully clinched as a driver.  I clinched US 1A in CT as a passenger, and have clinched the former US 6A in CT.  Otherwise, I've clinched only state segments, including:

CT: US 5, US 6, US 44, US 202
NY: US 209
VT: US 4
NH: I may have clinched US 1.  Forgot if I got back on 95 using NH 107 or MA 286.
NJ: US 40
PA: US 202 (before the Montgomeryville-Doylestown parkway portion was built)
DE: US 40
MD: US 15, US 340
WV: US 11
VA: US 340 (Loudon County section)
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

US 89

I've clinched US 491 and US 550 in full, and I have more than half the mileage of US 89 and 91. As for state clinches:

AZ: 64, 89
CO: 84
ID: 89
KY: 31 (of course, it's pretty hard to not clinch 31 in KY)
NM: 160
UT: 40, 89, 91
WY: 89 if you don't count Yellowstone to be part of the route


fillup420

US 74 is the only one for me.

I could've gotten US 491 but we detoured off down 160 to see four corners.

Some others that I've clinched looking through the list of US Routes:

US 223
US 399 (all of the sections that made up the highway)
US 466 (all of the sections that made up the highway)
US 260 (all of the sections that made up the highway)
US 180
US 98
US 189

Odd...I never thought the US 92 family would be the only one I ever fully clinched, go figure.

Typical CA resident; can count them on one hand (not a lot to choose from out here!).  101, 195, 199, 259, and 550.  Three more or less on the West Coast (bunch of friends in the Spokane area), family in Broken Bow (259), and taking the Durango & Silverton rail trip and later following alongside taking pix.  Finished all of 101 back in '87 with a round trip around Olympia NP with Seattle friends (was missing WA 20 down to WA 8).  If at all possible, I'm going to re-do US 101 again, south to north, with one singular trip.  It's hard to clinch in Mendocino & Humboldt Counties; the normal "tourist" routine veers off onto CA 254 (the clinches happened on solo trips in the winter!).

Just three total clinches: 163, 211, and 340.

Not sure about at the state level because I'd have to sort through my Travel Mapping stats to determine that. I might edit this to include that info if I get around to sorting through. I do know off the top of my head I have all of Virginia's (mainline) portion of US-29, all of Virginia's portion of US-48, all of DC's US routes period (including US-1 Alternate), several in Maryland, and all of West Virginia's portion of US-522. Off the top of my head I don't know if there are others.

Edited to add "state or district clinches" (excluding the three total clinches listed above and excluding auxiliary routes). I find it mildly interesting to realize I've completed US-15 north of Virginia. I have a 50-mile piece left in Virginia between Gordonsville and Dillwyn, and then I have a lot left in the Carolinas that I doubt I'll ever finish:

DC: US-1, US-29, US-50
MD: US-15, US-219, US-220, US-301, US-522
VA: US-29, US-48, US-50
DE: US-40, US-301 (will lose that when the new road opens)
WV: US-522
PA: US-15
NY: US-15
ME: US-302
FL: US-29 (I had forgotten about this as it was in 1997)
OH: US-223 (a whole 0.78 miles in Ohio!)
AZ: US-64
NM: US-160

Forgot about the former routing of US 94, did that one too.

Duke87

2(W), 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 9W, 44, 46, 113, 130, 163, 175, 206, 209, 222, 224, 422(E)

That's only the ones clinched in entirety, I might be here a while listing single state segments of other routes.
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

I don't think I've finished any of them, but there are a few where I've done significant portions.

US Route Completed by state:
6:  IL, IN
12:  IL, IN
30:  IN, OH, WV
35:  OH, WV (only missing the segment between US 36 and I-40 in eastern IN)
41:  IL
52:  IN, OH, VA, WV
67:  IA

Close on US 20 in IL.  Just missing the segment between Galena, IL and Dubuque, IA.1

Living in Florida I have done both US 92 and US 192. 

In NJ I got US 46 done, and US 130.  Both less than 100 miles long each of course, however I never got US 206 as that is one that should have been one to get when I lived there, but never had reason to go south of NJ 68 when I lived there.  That route is 130 miles though, but still pretty much a very easy drive for a one stater (I do not count the less than 1 mile in PA as mileage.).
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

They said take a left at the fork in the road.  I didn't think they literally meant a fork, until plain as day, there was a fork sticking out of the road at a junction.

Only US 73 and US 159. US 73 was both before and after it was rerouted south to I-70 on K-7. I don't know about the state level, but I know I got a few.
