Lowest-numbered route you haven't been on
« on: January 23, 2019, 07:39:50 AM »

This question came up in the joke thread about even-numbered county routes, but this is a legitimate topic.

Positive integers, obviously.

The thread title is slightly misleading taken literally. Taken literally, it would be 1 for everyone except those that have been on every single Route 1, but that's not what I meant.

For me: 14.
US 1 (several states)
MA 2 and less than a mile of US 2 (VT)
US/MA 3 and a single block of PA 3
US 4 (NH) and MA 4
US 5 (and probably I-5, but I wasn't a roadgeek in 2011*)
US 6 via overlap with I-84 (CT)
NY 7 via overlap with I-88
GA 8 (US 29)
NH 9, MA 9, GA 9
NH 10 via overlap with I-89, also GA 10 (US 78)
NH 11 and US 11 (NY), both on overlaps
MA/NH 12
NY 13 and a short segment of US 13 (PA)

I've crossed CT 14 and VT 14 on freeways, but I haven't been on either. MA 14 is closer, though. The lowest number I haven't been on or crossed is 24, which is surprising since MA 24 is a freeway. (Update 3/14/19: I have now been on MA 24. The lowest I haven't been on or crossed now is 36.)

*I visited the San Diego Zoo on a trip that I arrived in Los Angeles by train, and my relative's house was in Irvine. I don't see how I could have gotten there any other reasonable way.

Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

For me it's 48.  I've been on IL 21 and US 34 in Illinois, and I've hit all the other numbers from 1 to 47 in Indiana.

48 and 97 are the only numbers < 100 that I'm missing.

For me is incredibily low: 5. Also the lowest I've never crossed. I've never been to a route numbered 3 in Spain, but have done so elsewhere (Portuguese A3, Italian RA 3).

Edit: Just remembered I went on TF-5 freeway in Tenerife, Canary Islands when I was only 5. I know I traveled on then-A-16 (now C-32) in Catalonia when I was 2. So the lowest numbered route I haven't been on is 18, and I don't know of any routes with that number near me. I have 17 thanks to that C-17/C-25 concurrency.

28 for me.  Can't think of any state whose Route 28 I've actually been on, though I did drive on ALT WV-28 briefly once, but I don't think that counts.

Amazingly, it might be 14, though I think I have been on one but I have no clear memories of it.

47.

Incomplete list of covered routes:
CA 1; MD 2; MA 3; I-4; MD 5; GA 6; VA 7; GA 8; NH 9; I-10; US 11; GA 12; US 13; GA 14; CT 15; WV 16; US 17; GA 18; SC 19; FL 20; LA 21; CA 22; PA 23; GA 24; US 25; I-26; AL 27; NC 28; US 29; GA 30; US 31; GA 32; VA 33; CT 34; GA 35; LA 36; Iceland Route 37; GA 38; PA 39; AL 40; US 41; GA 42; Iceland Route 43; FL 44; GA 45; US 46

After 47, my next gap is at 57, then 63, 67, 88, and 96 are my other missing ones under 100.

Only considering numbers ≤ 20, let's see:

1:  US, IL, IN
2:  IN, NC
3:  IN (via US 6 overlap)
4: 
5:  IL, NC (both short and easily done in full in less than an hour)
6:  US
7:  IL
8:  IL
9:  IL, IN, KY, SC
10:  KY
11:  US
12:  US
13:  IN
14:  US
15:  US
16:  WV (via US 52 overlap)
17:  IL
18:  US
19:  US, IL
20:  US

Looks like my answer is 4.  I can't think of a single route 4 I've been on.

I'll do a few for the states near me (suffixed routes excluded) :

CT: 19
MA: 4
RI: 7
NY: 2 (US and NY)
VT: 3 (been on 2 but never drove it)
NH: 2 (US), 13 (state)
ME: 2 (US), 3 (state)
NJ: 7
PA: 5
DE: 3
MD: 4


To break it down:
1: US, DE
2: CT, MA, RI, DE, MD, US (as passenger)
3: CT, MA, RI, NJ, PA, MD, US
4: CT, RI, NJ, DE, US, I (as a passenger)
5: RI, NY, FL (as a passenger), US
6: US
7: NY, MD, VA, US
8: CT, MA

For me, its 149. I have traveled on most NC state highways, Interstates and US highways with route numbers up to 100.
NC 149 is a very short stub that serves an industrial area down east, so one only drives on it deliberately to clinch the highway.

Only considering numbers ≤ 20, let's see:

1:  US, IL, IN
2:  IN, NC
3:  IN (via US 6 overlap)
4: 
5:  IL, NC (both short and easily done in full in less than an hour)
6:  US
7:  IL
8:  IL
9:  IL, IN, KY, SC
10:  KY
11:  US
12:  US
13:  IN
14:  US
15:  US
16:  WV (via US 52 overlap)
17:  IL
18:  US
19:  US, IL
20:  US

Looks like my answer is 4.  I can't think of a single route 4 I've been on.

You need to visit Potato Creek State Park this summer.  Nice park plus it gets 4 for you.

1 is the lowest I haven't been on as OR and WA 1 don't exist, and the other states I don't spend nearly enough time to pay attention. Unless you want to count going to the sun road as Glacier Route 1.

For a number encompassing any type of highway, for me it would have to be 102.  At present, there's no CA 102, and I can't recall actually traveling on any route of that number anywhere (US or Canada).  It almost was 48, since CA 48 became CA 37 before I got my drivers' license, and while crossing it at its US 40 terminus several times, never had the opportunity to travel on it pre-'64.  But I did drive on the interim US 48 freeway back in 1989, a couple of years before it was elevated to I-68, so I really can't count that as a "no-show".  So 102 it is.

Doing a bunch of text searches through my Travel Mapping list file, the lowest route number for which I don't have any entries anywhere (including Canada) is 379.

296 and 345 would've broken my sequence, except I traveled the unsigned Interstates with those numbers.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I like the idea.  According to Google, it's only about an hour and a half from me, just a little longer than Starved Rock going the opposite direction.

If I take just US and Interstates then the lowest of both I've never been on is 2. I've crossed US 2 on two separate occasions but don't recall ever been on it. I-2 is something I will never get to use unless I have a very specific reason to travel that far south.

For just US and interstate than it would be 8.

Looking through my TM list file, there are only two route numbers less than 100 that I haven't used: 46, and 57. 47 also doesn't show up in my TM log, but I know I traveled a portion of NM 47 north of Albuquerque before that segment was decommissioned.

EDIT: traveled parts of UT 21, 73, 81, and 94 since I posted this.

102 is the first nation-spanning number that unscientifically comes to mind for me. But there’s a chance I may have been on ME 102 having made two visits to Mount Desert Island as a teen, so that could be incorrect as well.

54 is the lowest number within Minnesota that I have not used.

Only have to go to 15 to find a Wisconsin route I have yet to use.

As far as a Wisconsin route goes it will have to be 17 because I-43 used to be 15. Interstate it is 2 and US also 2.

For me, it's 102, but by current designations, it's 49, as the only Highway 49 I've ever been on is MN 49, but that was when I was a kid and MN 49 has been gone for a while now.
