I didn't see the bonus question in the OP.

Looks like I've been on ten 40s (not including business routes and such, in which case, add another 26, and then my favorite 40 is BL40 in Glenrio, TX)

I-40
US40

CO40
ID40
FL40

AB40
A-40 (QC)
SK40

E40 (Belgium)
M40 (Spain)

I missed the bonus question too. For me, I've been on five 26's on travel mapping: ON 26, I-26, US 26, ME 26, and NH 26.

For 27 (coming up in a month), I've been on only two: US 27 and ME 27.

I've only been on two 31s, US and K-. I remember nothing about K-31, unfortunately.

Now I have a month to think of my answer for 27 :).

I hope for your sake that you can find something better than ON 27, because that road is a slog  :-D
US 27 is a nice drive in some segments.
I like US-27 in Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida. Georgia is probably ok as it bypasses Atlanta but I haven't really traveled on it much in Georgia.

Yeah I guess US 27 would be my best bet. I've driven hardly any of it, only a small portion around Chattanooga and near Disney World. But there aren't any strong contenders. Old Ontario Highway 27 doesn't have significance to me and isn't particularly exciting.

US-27 used to enter Michigan and made it as far north as the Mackinac Bridge but has been scaled back to have it's northern terminus in Fort Wayne now so it doesn't enter Michigan anymore so I had some experience with it for some time in Michigan until 2002. There are some relics of it in Michigan still though that are still nice routes. I'd love to use it in Georgia the next time I drive to Florida and be able to bypass Atlanta I never thought about taking it before to do that but it seems like a good idea. I hated when it was deleted from Michigan though and I said for years that MDOT, ODOT and INDOT should have got together and switched US-27 and US-127's routing.

For me, it's CA 58.  Its received a lot of upgrades in the past twenty years, and there are many more to come in the next 10-15 years.  In the Summer of 2023, the Centennial Corridor will be open through CA 99.  It's a major corridor in California. Eventually, motorists will be able drive a signal and stop sign-free freeway/expressway between Interstates 5 and 15.

I don't remember driving any highways numbered 28 myself, but I'm sure CA/NV 28 along Lake Tahoe is a nice drive, as well as MA 28 on Cape Cod.

In a few months, though, it will be I-29, right here in KC.

I turned 14 a couple weeks ago, so definitely CO 14, especially along the Poudre.

you've probably driven (or, given your age, ridden) past my house. I'm 10 miles up from ted's.

having grown up here, at the time, that would have been my favorite road when I was 14.

in the current time, it'd have to be WV 51, though I don't recall much of it since I was like 17 the last time I was on it. I had grandparents that lived in the WV Panhandle at that time.

and at 17, I lived in the tidewater area of VA for a short time, so it was all about US 17.

let's just hope that I don't get old enough to where 287 meets this criteria.

Maybe in your general neck of the woods, WYO70 would be a better goal (including the part that goes into CO!).  :)

Although it’s obvious, I hadn’t thought about that until now. Most of us will never be able to have a three-digit highway as an answer (given average life expectancy). But perhaps some of us can make it to the grand US 101 (one of the greatest highways of all).  :nod:

But would you actually be able to enjoy US 101 at 101 years of age?

Correction to mine: Just remembered that I have clinched WA-18 East of I-5. I have not included my 2017 Washington stats on Travel Mapping yet, hence why I missed it. It is the only highway numbered 18 I've been on that doesn't involve a concurrency. For this reason, and that it is by far the most interesting of my clinched highway 18 sections, I'll nominate WA-18 as my favorite highway numbered 18.

Honestly, I haven't been on many 48's that impressed me, though I've never been on US 48.

Been on state routes/roads in AL, FL, GA, DE, MS, TX, LA, and TN. The last one was probably the most interesting.

Be catching up to I-39 later this spring.  Guaranteed I'll be driving on it within days of rolling the odometer over.

VA 36, a local route.

I wish I could have seen this question last year. 
I have only ever been on a very short stretch of TX 36...but since there is no I-36, Ive never been on US 36--or any other highway 36 for that matter.

However, I have been on I 35 from San Antonio to DFW, TX 35 from Houston to corpus Christi, short portions of LA 35, and parts of MS 35, MA 35, CT 35, NY 35, and PA 35....out of all of those my favorite is IH 35.

It would have to be I-65 of course cause I haven’t yet driven US 65. :bigass:

FL 65 I have driven but not much to see outside forests for miles and miles through the widest point on the FL Panhandle.

You could spend this many years trying to find the parent of I-238 and still come up empty.

I'm also struggling to remember any Highway 38 that I've been on.

I just unlocked US 44 a few days ago. Unless I move or live to 202 I won't be approaching any US routes near my age ever again.

The route number for Delsea Drive in NJ, which is just a few miles from me, is my age.

Until I hit 51, I'll have route numbers in relatively close proximity to me.

38 was where I was at when I first started participating in the "lowest route number you haven't been on" thread. I had to make a special trip to NW Oklahoma to get it.

As best I can tell I've never been on any highway 49.  Maybe I'll have more after my next birthday in a few months.
