While my standing didn't change, I spent yesterday & today collecting routes, so my lowest number is now 318.

Waukesha, Wisconsin is calling.

NY also has a state route 318, a busy connector route between Auburn and the Thruway.

I'm quite content with going to Sharon, Pa, before the end of the month to pick off PA 318.
Please, don't sue Alex & Andy over what I wrote above

Also, much closer. Forgot about that one; must have had my next trip on my mind.

You can also easily get 418 while you're there.

It's also a pain in the butt for Regions 3 and 4 of NYSDOT due to it extending just a bit further west than the Seneca County line...

There's a railway crossing and then just a short distance in Region 4.

So, it always involves some sort of handshake agreement in terms of the paving, since we won't just stop at the county line and then you have the buffer with the railroad that comes into play...

...unlike certain municipalities that won't pave or make similar agreements to pave the 100 feet of the road or so beyond their border to the next intersection...

In California, have never driven on CA-7. Not a single mile. That is, the modern day CA-7 from 1990. The original CA-7 that is today represented by I-405, CA-14, US-395? Never would have driven on it while signed, but have been on some or all of those routes.

CA-3 would be the lowest route number I've never clinched. Been on some segments on it here and there, including the implied concurrency with CA-299. (Although I believe both routes are signed here). When it comes to even-numbered routes, CA-4. Only segment I've been is the freeway alignment between I-5 and CA-99. I have driven on CA-89 from the CA-4 junction to the CA-88 junction, which historically was a concurrency with 89 (and also extended to Nevada via 88 concurrency). Strangely, though, there are still CA-4 shields on this stretch of 89. Not "TO" banners, just straight up CA-4 shields. Not sure why, because it hasn't been concurrent since 1964.

I don't think so, no. When I visited New England, I paralleled US-7 in places but never drove on it. Never drove on either OR-7 or WA-7. Alaska has AK-7 but also avoided it (except for maybe a very short portion when I visited Juneau a long time ago). States beyond that, not ringing a bell.

If you've done any portion of US 20 between Bend and Idaho, you can claim ORH 7 if you're up for it.

Interesting. I would have guessed that most paving projects usually do start/end near the county line. The recent paving on NY 104 seems to have ended near the Monroe/Wayne county line, but not exactly (and maybe it wouldn't have mattered since they're both R4).

There's no hard rule.  NYSDOT just doesn't like to leave a short distance of pavement on a state highway out of a project just because of the Regional boundary.

The lowest-numbered route that I haven't been on is now  232  (it was 184).  Not a single county road in the bunch :)

Took a weekend jaunt to the Hampton Roads area in Virginia and picked up 184, 203, 204, and 205.  Also 239 for future planning.

The closest 232 to me appears to be PA 232 north of Philadelphia, about 120 miles away.  Alternatively, VA 232 in SW Virginia, about 300 miles away. Planning to get PA 232 and PA 248 in a November trip that I'm taking to upstate New York.

Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

The only portions of US-20 I've driven on are between Newport, OR and the I-5 junction. Then east of Yellowstone into South Dakota or so. So I haven't done the hidden/unsigned OR-7.

The entire ORH system is unsigned. Up to the individual tracking whether to count them or not, but looks like Quillz hasn't been on the relevant section anyway :(

I got IL 147 yesterday, so now my lowest untraveled number is 174. Have a family trip to Pittsburgh planned in early November and going to try to convince the fam to detour to OH 174 west of Cleveland on the way home.

Sorry, no extra room in the car for plain or csw to join me.

I got IL 147 yesterday, so now my lowest untraveled number is 174. Have a family trip to Pittsburgh planned in early November and going to try to convince the fam to detour to OH 174 west of Cleveland on the way home.


It's east, sir. (extreme) Eastside of Cleveland, not west.

Yeah, I knew that. No idea why I typed west.

Visited Sharon, Pa. yesterday and picked up PA 318. Now I'm up to 339, which will require a trip to SE Ohio. I'll get that before I head off to the Okla. City Meet in 3 weeks.
But this gets me to #10 on the list, which tops my previous high of #11 from the original list, back 3 years ago.
Please, don't sue Alex & Andy over what I wrote above

Speaking of the Oklahoma City meet, anyone who attends that will be in prime position to pick up a 102 on the way into or out of town if they need one.
