Highways numbered 1000 - are there any states that have them?

[KCRoadFan]

All right, my fellow forum members, it has happened. It's here. Three years and four months after I first registered on the AARoads forum, I have now reached the big milestone of 1,000 posts!!!!

As some of you may recall, when I reached 100 posts, I marked that milestone by making it about highways numbered 100, and then I made similar posts to mark 200, 300, and 500. Well, I figured that I would do a similar one for 1,000 as well!

Anyway, are there any states that have a highway numbered 1000? I would assume it would be an FM road in Texas, a state road in Kentucky or Louisiana, or a secondary road in Virginia, as these are the states I know of that have lots of four-digit road numbers - well, signed ones, that is. Is there a Highway 1000 in any of the aforementioned states, and if there is, how important or prominent is that road, as such a number might suggest it would be?

Well, here's to 1,000 posts, and many more to come. It feels great to be in the four-figure club - I wonder, what is the proportion of forum members with at least 1,000 posts, compared to the total number of members? (I'm guessing it's somewhere around 5 percent of the total membership, or something like that - regardless of how big or small that subset is, I'm proud that I can now call myself part of it!)

As you mentioned, Kentucky does have a highway with the number 1000, KY 1000:

I am unsure if PA ever uses 1000 as a quadrant route, but VA probably has a 1000 in almost every county that signs secondary routes.  I am unsure how often NC uses 1000.

I looked up Louisiana Highway 1000 on the highway log I created in 2003 with an excel file emailed to me from LADOTD, and LA 1000 was listed as running between LA 996 and LA 1. Designated in the area of Bella Rose, the highway is signed (GSV link).

Going a bit internationally, the UK also has an A1000 (former alignment of the A1) and a B1000 that branches off of the A1000.
I'd imagine other European countries that prefix their highways with letters rather than using shields (and have 4-digit highway numbers, obviously) would also have highways numbered 1000.

Counties that sign their county routes and have 4-digit numbers probably also have CR 1000s.

Yep, around 5%. As of the time I'm typing this, there's 4568 total members on the members list, and sorting the lost by number of posts, you can see that there's 245 with 1000 or more posts, which is around 5%.

Was I the only one kind of hoping Post Counts would be janked up after the forum came out of Maintenance Mode?

Such as Spain.

Only secondary roads here in NC. While these are a dime a dozen here and thus this example might not be quite what you had in mind, there seems to be only a single road designated as SR 1000, and it doesn't even show up in NCDOT's database lookup: Coast Guard Road in Carteret County. So it *is* a uniquely numbered road and thus it might fit what you're looking for.

There are a handful of county/municipal/other reports that seem to mention an SR 1000, but I could not actually find another one. A few roads that turned up in a search for an SR 1000 were not actually an SR 1000, but just 1000 series SRs.

That is obviously in Andalusia (and near Almeria to be exact). A-1000 cannot happen in Aragon, since no "green" road here has 0, 8 or 9 as its second digit and the order starts from 01 anyway.

Dang, you beat me to it! But yes, Andalucía has some pretty high road numbers, with the autonomic (A-XXXX) numbers reaching the 8000's. Navarra's local road network goes higher, to 87XX, but Sevilla's provincial network reaches 9225.

Since Almería is the first province in Andalucía in alphabetical order, its complementary network gets number 1. Cádiz gets 2, Córdoba gets 3...

I've never seen a SR 1000 in PA. They seem to start at SR x001, where x is the appropriate number for the quadrant or series.

My province gets as high as 9998 , which I drove by coming back from Toulouse. And I've been on a road numbered as high as 9601 (although it is expected to receive a far lower number, but that has yet to happen). On the other hand there are not many roads below 100 in Spain, so it is quite a struggle to climb in the table of the "Lowest-numbered route you haven't been on" thread, specially when one hits the 80s and 90s as there are few roads numbered in that range (and possibly none at all for some numbers). Good thing I made sure to get out to Albi, getting N88 in the process...

There's a SR-1000 in Greene County, VA:



This is the only SR-1000 in the state that I know of.

I can't believe that such a high number exists. What province are you from? I need to find that route!

And yes, there is a huge gap in route numbers in Spain because very few communities do two digits, and I can't find any A-8X's in the Ministry's road catalogue.

Thank you. It's interesting to me that they don't sign it, not even with kilometer posts.

Let me know when this discussion reaches the 1200s, because I've got one for that.
