What is the highest route number where you have been on two distinct routes?
Do not count two segments of the same route number (both I-88s), or related routes (I-794/WI 794, US 6/BUS US 6, IL 64/IA 64)
Mine is 524, with IN 524 and KY 524.
Is I-495 (MA) and NY/NJ 495 cheating? If it is, GA 400 and A400 in London.
Likely I-880 and FL 880. I say "likely" given there is a crap ton of County Routes, Florida Roads and Hawaii Routes I've been on with high numbers. I can't recall two common ones off the top of my head at the moment.
Edit: I have been on CA 905, SC 905, NC 905, Monroe County 905 and Monroe County Route 905A
Edit 2: I have been on I-990 and FL 990 also. I guess this why people keep TM accounts...
Well... I can only think of 86 right now: NY-86 and I-86. I'll probably end up finding a better one though.
If we can count non-signed routes, it would be I-695 (DC, MD, and NY), and SR 695 (CT). I've also done a few of the 495's (NY/NJ with either MA, DE, or MD/VA)
If none apply, it's CT 372 and PA 372

I don't know a lot about NY/NJ 495 or CT 695, but if their numbers are derived from I-95, then I'd consider them related to I-495 and I-695, respectively. They'd both be "children" of I-95 even though they aren't all interstates.

SR 695 is the stub end of the Connecticut Turnpike between I-395 and US 6 at the RI state line, so it's an I-95 grandchild route of sorts but not directly related to a child by the same number.
I-794 and WI-794.
And I have clinched both!

I-794 and WI-794.

That was literally in the example in the OP as related routes that don't count.
1078: Kentucky and Louisiana's state highways.
915 is my highest triple (KY, PA, FL)
As far as I can tell, for unrelated routes it is I-194 (ND) and MN 194.
For clinched routes it is MN 106 and SD 106.
I've traveled at least part of Kentucky 1247 and Louisiana 1247.
I've also traveled parts of both North Dakota 1806 and South Dakota 1806. Those routes are discontinuous and don't connect, but their numbers are based on the year the Lewis and Clark expedition passed through the Dakotas on their return trip from the Pacific Northwest.
Mine is a rather odd one: PA 611 and MD 611.

The numbers themselves may be related but the routes themselves aren't related to each other so I wouldn't consider those to be related routes since they aren't both children of a common route.

Yes, they are related routes. Any routes whose number derive from a common route (in this case, I-90) are related.

ND 1806 and SD 1806 connect at the border between the states just west of the Missouri River.
Edit: nevermind, I thought ND 1806 continued to the border, looks like it ends at ND 24 near Cannon Ball. Regardless, they're both part of the Lewis And Clark Trail; I'd consider both highways 1806 related but I guess it's up to you.

If both are commonly known as the Lewis and Clark Trail in addition to 1806, that would make them related in my book.
Following OP's rules, mine would be US-131 and IL-131. I plan to clinch IL-131 soon. A US-131 clinch likely won't happen anytime soon.

Do not count ... I-794/WI 794
Well, mine happens to be 794. While I have been on (and clinched) both I-794 and WI-794, I have also been on (and clinched) NV794.
My highest with
three different, unrelated routes is 610 (I-610 (both TX and LA), MN610, and NV610).
My highest with
four different, unrelated routes is 371 (US371, CO371, MN371, MO371).
My next highest combo of different routes is actually traveling on 210
seven times (I-210/CA210, AL210, AZ210, MN210, MO210, PE210, WY210). I-210 and CA210 are related so counting that as one route.
For me, it is 985 (I-985 and PA 985).
Highest I can think of off the top of my mind is 270 (I-270 MO-IL, OH and MD, and US 270).
There's probably a higher one for me, but I need to take a look at small routes.
Without really diving in, my first thought from memory is MN 280 and NC 280.
For anyone that uses Travel Mapping, this should be quite easy. There's a page of routes traveled by number, just start from the bottom to identify the highest duplicate, then apply the rules of this thread.
Here's mine: https://travelmapping.net/user/routesbynumber.php?units=miles&u=webny99&
A-505 toward Cambridge and I-505 in northern California comes to mind
EDIT: SR 794 in Connecticut and I-794
At least 100: NC 100 in Elon, and A100 in London.
Off the top of my head it would be I-475 (OH, GA) and MS-475 (Airport Rd).

Lots of highways in the Dakotas are marked as "Lewis and Clark Trail", including some not part of 1804 and 1806. Part of ND 25, for example, is signed as "Lewis and Clark Trail".
Mine is 528. I've been on the associated Florida state route and the FM road.
Mine is 290: I-290 and US-290.
Okay, I checked a little more, and I'm actually at least at 280: I-280 in California, and US 280 on its overlap with I-85 in Alabama.
Mine would be 997.
Both FL 997 and PA 997.
Off the top of my head it's 405 (I-405 in California and I-405 in Oregon)
Edit: It's 580 (I-580 in California and I-580 in Nevada)
^OP said those are related routes. (Even though they have nothing to do with each other, I don't understand your reasoning here roadman.)
I know I've been on KY 1804 and ND 1804.
Probably I-880 in Iowa and California. If the two routes have to be different types, maybe I-696 and OH-696.
Looks like I'm another FL 997/PA 997.

Actually going to cheat here a bit with an unsigned route: ON 407 and GA 407 (I-285)
It has to be at least 552 for me. I still have to finish checking the mess that is Spanish road numbering. I keep looking, and find even higher examples.
US 441 and WI 441.
It's possible that there's some overlap with random state route numbers out of Maryland, Florida, and Kentucky, but none come to mind immediately.
I-610 (LA & TX) & MD 610
US 601 and Virginia Secondary 601.

Looks like 520 is your answer (https://travelmapping.net/user/routesbynumber.php?units=miles&u=pianocello130&), excluding any Florida county routes that may overlap.
Based on TM, my answer is 540. I've been on short stretches of GA 540 in Macon and OH 540 in Bellefontaine (to visit Campbell Hill). I've also been on ON 540 (not yet added to TM).
The best I can figure out is MD 940 and PA 940
From a quick TM check: 599 (WA and NV). For those without my home state, it's 582 (OH and NV).
Mine would be I-295 and MD/DC 295.
After having worked in Miami, there are a bunch of high numbered possibilities. Here's a few of them:
I've been on the Rickenbacker Causeway in Miami and also on the Blankenbaker Parkway in Jeffersontown, Kentucky. That is FL-913 and KY-913.
But even better, I've been on the Broad Causeway between North Miami and Bay Harbour Islands and also on Newtown Pike in Lexington. Those are FL-922 and KY-922.
Strange "near miss": I've walked along Coral Way in Coral Gables, which is FL-972 (and may have actually exited a parking lot onto Coral Way at least once, but not sure). I've also been on both Pennsylvania Avenue (MD-4) and Marlboro Pike (former Bus MD-4) in Suitland, Maryland, both of which connected to unsigned MD-972A before the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Silver Hill Road was reconstructed.
And a "here's looking at you" double near miss: Back in my days on the railroad, part of my territory was between Somerset and Johnstown and I had a crossing in Ferndale. When PA-403 turns right onto Franklin Street, you are looking at PA-985 which continues south on Franklin. And later in Miami, I was on the Don Shula Expressway in Miami and exited onto SW 104th Street. That's looking at SW 107th Avenue (which is FL-985). In another "almost" to this story, I was on that same stretch of Franklin Street south of Ferndale several times before that section of the US-219 freeway opened up, but back then it was posted as US-219.
982, Kentucky & Pennsylvania.

I forgot about MN 280. I have that and I-280 in the Quad Cities.
I could up that by 1 and get IA 281 by Waterloo to go along with US 281 in Nebraska.
Probably I-684 in New York and Middlesex CR 684 in New Jersey.
Looks like I'm finally settling on N-625 and provincial road CV-625 in the province of Zaragoza, both in Spain. I have several even higher duplicated numbers (810, 817, 933, 937, 940), but all those pairs were issued from former French national roads (N10, N117, N133, N637 and N640 respectively).

Thank you for this. My first thought had been 895 (I-895 and VA-895), but using that link tells me it's actually 970 (Florida and Pennsylvania state routes).
Edited to add: After looking at a map, I can see why I forgot about those. PA-970 in particular–the only time I've driven on there is when I was rushing home from Toronto after being told my father had about a week to live. The roads were not uppermost in my mind that day beyond "what is the most direct route home."

Yikes! I totally missed this one. Not that it was a contender, but it should have been on my list. Unlike the others on my list, I've used both of these on many occasions. But I technically have not clinched I-895 because of all of the various "long ramps" that serve as collectors from other freeways.
ND and SD 1806 followed by WA and NM 599 for me.
I was actually hoping for an ORH but they only go up to 493 :lol:
Now I realize I have an even higher duplicate, and even worse, I was on one of the implied routes yesterday (still "today" for those in Alaska and Hawaii Aleutian time zones). I've corrected my post above.

Note the thread says "traveled," not "clinched." I haven't clinched PA-970, but I drove on it as the logical connection from I-80 to US-322 in order to cut the corner down to I-99.

Sorry, I should have clarified. Both I-895 and VA-895 are toll structures intended as bypasses of the main Interstate routes. On the surface, they should both be easy to clinch. From the south, I have accessed I-895 from I-95, US-1 and MD-2, but not the long ramp from I-97 (which was added later). Not that I was particularly trying to clinch any of these "long ramps". From the north, I don't see any disqualifiers. So I can't even remember if I clinched this before it became unclinched. I'm glad this is not officially part of I-97.
I was going to mention another similarity. I don't remember the Laburnum Avenue exit having been constructed back when VA-895 first opened, and as such there would have been no intermediate exits between I-95 and I-295. I have never used that exit, but I do remember it afterwards. The new exit for VA-281 for Richmond International Airport has been added recently.
And back to the main topic, I worked on the NYCT Pelham Line (Number 6) in the Bronx that parallels and overlooks The Sheridan expressway (NY-895) between the Bruckner Expressway and Westchester Avenue. But I've never actually driven on it (to qualify for a triple route).
Quote from: 74/171FAN on November 14, 2022, 03:32:02 PM
For me, it is 985 (I-985 and PA 985).
If I include VA SRs, I believe that my number goes up to 1303. I have clinched KY 1303.
I think it would be I-410 in San Antonio and FM 410 in Red River County.
MD and PA 924
I-59 and US 59
For me, it'll be I-880 (CA) and all 0.6 or so miles of NV 880.
I don't know if this counts but AR 440 and I-440 both in Little Rock. Both of which are the same road but it's basically an extension north of I-40 that's signed with a state highway shield.
If that doesn't count, I've been on I-369 in Texarkana and a section of AR 369 near Lake Greeson.

Heh, thanks. Evidently I couldn't be bothered to look up my TM data on my own :sombrero:. Indiana SR 520 is pretty easy to forget.
Actually, now that I remember I think it's now I-90 and US 90.
I too have the "this depends on if you consider ND 1806 and SD 1806 related" conundrum.
If you do, the answer is 985 (I- and PA)
