After driving on GA 82 earlier this week, I am now all the way up to 117...VA 117 isn't too far from me though, so that may change again soon.

In case I decide to not partake in the Cincy roadmeet*, in two weeks. I did get to 122 over the weekend, and now my lowest numbered route to drive on is 125.

*The Cincy roadmeet covers Oh 125, which helps me in this game.

In the interest of keeping the thread going, I've filled in a gap or two as well, as follows:

184:  NM
185:  Interstate
186:  AZ
187:  AR
188:  AZ
189, 190, 191, 192:  US

My guess is that I've been on a state route 193 in both Utah and Maryland but do not definitively remember.  Can one easily get to a football game at the University of Maryland without traveling on Maryland 193?

Filling in gaps further down the list as well, but will stick at 193 for now.
Main Line Interstates clinched:  2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 37, 39, 43, 44, 45, 55, 57, 59, 65, 68, 71, 72, 74 (IA-IL-IN-OH), 76 (OH-PA-NJ), 78, 80, 82, 86 (ID), 88 (IL)

I drove on Kentucky 348 last week, my new lowest-number is 357.

After a couple of edits, it looks like my lowest is 106.

Can I get away with a County route, if the only way it is signed is its shield next to the street name on a traffic signal mast arm?

I think even a completely unsigned (but officially designated) route would count. I'm relying on unsigned Interstates 296 and 345, and at least one unsigned 3xx Virginia state route, to push my "lowest-numbered route" into the 400s.

I too will be relying on a couple unsigned VA 3xx routes once I go drive OH 266 which will make my new lowest number not driven to 428.  A bigger question for me will be whether Virginia's well-signed secondary routes will count in this should I manage to get all the 400-500 numbers.  I am not using South Carolina's secondary system, though it is mostly signed (numbers start at 1 and go into the 3000s in some counties).

I counted CR 325 in Alachua County, since it's signed and was a former state road.

I can count 353 in Louisiana and probably as a Texas Loop, but I'm not too sure of the latter. (It's a headache editing that table on my phone.)

Rothman

I'm only going by signed routes and ignoring county routes and ignoring the equivalent of PA's routes that are only signed by the little white rectangles (VA does that, too, right?  I only count their circle shields).  I do count Texas' Farm or Ranch to Market Routes, though.

But, feel free to be wimps if you want. :D

I'm going to wimp out and count Monmouth County NJ Route 14.  Exhibit A:

I've come very close or crossed at least two state Route 14s, but not that I can recall actually drove on one.  Now I can continue onward on the count...

Virginia uses the circle and rectangle markers for secondary routes interchangeably. I've seen them both used at one intersection.

Heck, I've seen the white rectangles used for state primary and even US routes.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

No.
Just because your state doesn't have a "signed SR 14" does not mean you get to use a "substitute."
If you go back to page 2 of this thread, my first entry was 106. Ohio doesn't have a SR 106. Thus, I went outside of Ohio (in this case, Michigan) to go drive on (literally) one mile of M-106 to make the grade.
Go to one of your neighboring states, take in a mile of a SR 14, then move on to your next number.

I've definitely driven on 106th Street, but I'm not counting it. :)  Looks like I have to drive to New Mexico.  I already have a 107, so I'll jump up the list!

Our governor announced today that due to the current stay at home order in effect, county routes can be counted as routes driven until further notice.  Once the order is lifted, I would request that somebody help me find something fun to do near Milford DE to sell to the wife and kid so that I can pick up DE 14.

Heh, good work.

I drove most of VA 117 a few weeks ago, so now my new number is 132. I've crossed both IL 132 and OH 132, but that's as close as I've come.

I like that 12.  It's a freeway to nowhere.  Ironically the outer freeway loop (now 222) was the one called by locals the "Road to Nowhere" for years but has since been completed and is a busy bypass of the city.  Route 12's eastbound control city is Pricetown, a tiny village that's really just a rural crossroads.
