Last previously-untraveled road you were on?

[hbelkins]

Simple question -- what was the last road you were on that you had previously never traveled on?

Has to be a state maintained route, not necessarily posted, but included in the state's inventory.

For me, it was the new section of US 219 in southern Pennsylvania, PA 31 between Somerset and Bedford, and a portion of US 30 east of Breezewood. I traveled these routes while going to the Abandoned PA Turnpike meet last November.

CA 371 a week ago, needed to use it to get around the closure on CA 74.

Has to be a state route...US 219...US 30

Simple question -- what was the last road you were on that you had previously never traveled on?

Simple question, but not necessarily a simple answer.

The last numbered route was TX 180 – or was it? It's still signed between I-35E and Loop 12 (which is the part I was on), but this part was supposedly turned back to the city of Dallas a few years ago (which I assume is why I can't claim it on TM).

If that doesn't count, then it's I-30 – maybe. I'm not sure if I ever actually made it onto the I-30 mainline while navigating the complex of ramps involving I-30/I-35E/I-45/I-345.

If neither of those count, then it's I-45. All of those on the afternoon of September 23.

MA/NH 38 between MA 110 in Lowell, MA and S Policy St. in Salem, NH.

In my case, I think the last "new" road was I-44 between I-270 in suburban St. Louis and SR 360 just west of Springfield, in September 2017.

US 52 from the WV/VA state line (East River Mountain Tunnel) to Wytheville. Also did US 11 from Pulaski (exit 89 on I-81) to Christiansburg.

Okay, seriously, what do you think? State maintained route is what he was getting at.

Mine is a small section of WI-33 in Baraboo.

[webny99]

Just so we're clear: you're allowed to have previously traveled on other portions of the route, correct?

If so, then I guess it would be NY 28 north (east) of Inlet. If not, it gets tough. I think I may be able to count NY 436 in that case.

AR 112, enroute to the largest cross-country meet in the country Chile Pepper, Fayetteville, AR.

Has to be a state route, not necessarily posted, but included in the state's inventory.

Supplemental routes in MO are an odd case. Buildings along them have the address as "State Highway X" and intersection signs along them say "state highway" as well and are maintained by MoDOT rather than the county, despite them being part of a separate, lower class system.

Colorado Highway 93 in Boulder, last Wednesday.

[vdeane]

NY 275 for me, from a few days before Labor Day.

EDIT: Apparently this thread allows new segments of routes you've seen other portions of?  In that case, NY 98 north of Franklinville.  Same trip.

TM users can look at the history of their .list files on GitHub.  Doing that reminded me that I picked up a segment of US 202 a few weeks ago around the NY/NJ line.

This means I have to exclude most freeways and national highways of Spain, as they are maintained by the (sovereign) state as opposed to the communities, unlike in the USA where most highways are owned by the (constituent) states and there are (almost) no federal roads.

That said, the last previously untraveled road I've been on that is a state-equivalent route is A-1604. I had already been on the westernmost 10 km (6 miles) or so (about 1/5 of the way), so the rest of it was new for me. Never again unless it is renovated. Map of what I had not done previously.

[Rothman]

I'll go with VT 153 for this thread, from Rupert to NY border.

Hawaii Route 19 on the Big Island of Hawaii in early June.

[NWI_Irish96]

A couple weeks ago, I finished off the last section of US 136 in Indiana that I didn't already have. 

Have a trip planned for Friday to finish off the highways in Grant and Wabash counties that I don't have yet.

[TheHighwayMan3561]

Most recent new mileage for me was finishing MN 105. I had already done the section between I-90 and where it turns south to head to the Iowa line.

[GaryV]

Any new portion of a route?  On Saturday: M-57 west of M-15.  Immediately proceeded by M-15 through Davison.

Route never driven at all before:  Labor Day, ETR 407
Does ON count as "state"-maintained?  If not, it was likely something in VA or WV a few years back.

[KEVIN_224]

If it's portions of a state route I was on for my first time?

CT Route 4 from the CT Route 72 junction in Harwinton up to CT Route 8 in Torrington.
CT Route 8 from said junction in Torrington north to MA Route 8 and it's junction with US Route 20 in Lee, MA.

This was in 2018.

FL 24, Gainesville

[TEG24601]

The Marine View Drive/Everett Avenue segments of WA's SR 529.  I had previously driven the length of SR 529 when it was routed down Broadway (old US/WA 99), but I hadn't been down it since it was rerouted to serve the "new" Navy Base.  This was about 3 years ago, and most of the route along the waterfront was absolute crap.

And since my interpretation may have been slightly off, and new portions of existing routes count: still in that same area, but a bit of I-35E (between I-30 and 12th Street) was more recent than the other Interstates there (I'd been on other parts of I-35E earlier that weekend).

State maintenance has nothing to do with route numbering in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
