I misunderstood this thread by hbelkins, and I spent a bit of time looking up the last completely new route (state, US, or interstate) that I had never traveled on any part of previously. For me, this route was IN-81, which I traveled on my most recent trip from Chicago to Tennessee this past August, as a way of avoiding monotony. If you include intersections, which I hadn't considered until just now, then the route is IN-71, which I traveled to get to IN-81.
Interstates clinched: 4, 57, 275 (IN-KY-OH), 465 (IN), 640 (TN), 985
State Interstates clinched: I-26 (TN), I-75 (GA), I-75 (KY), I-75 (TN), I-81 (WV), I-95 (NH)

There is no IN 81...perhaps you meant IN 18?

I'm usually not a fan of new threads that are so similar to existing ones...but the newest route I've driven on is US 501 from Buena Vista to Glasgow VA - the northernmost segment.

I did. As you can see from the thread title, I am the master of typos.

Last "new to me" route that I traveled on was IN 258, a couple weeks ago.

I don't have a lot of roads left in Indiana that fit this category for me.
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%

For me, the answer is the same as the one I gave in the other thread, as I'd never been on MD-17 before:

MD-17 between US-40 and I-70. We were on our way home from Toronto in June when we hit a traffic backup on I-70, so I bailed to US-40 to detour around the problem, then cut back to the Interstate via Route 17.

CO-14 for me, though that was a while ago so I'm probably missing something.

It looks like for me, it's the piece of South Dakota 11 that's concurrent with South Dakota 42, each of which I was traveling for the first time ever, just over a month ago.

On further review, I see that my ride back to the Twin Cities on US 12 got me a couple of short concurrencies with Minnesota state routes I'd never otherwise traveled, the last of which being a block or so of Minnesota 9 in Benson.

In this case, he intended "P" to stand for post, not poster.

Also, the two threads aren't identical. HB's is for recent new route mileage, period. This one is for new mileage on routes you've never been on before.

I was thinking of creating a third thread for routes that are literally completely untraveled, i.e. you are the first car on the road, but I decided against it.

Clinched, plus MA 286

Traveled, plus several state routes

Lowest untraveled: 25 (updated from 14)

New clinches: MA 286
New traveled: MA 14, MA 123

For me that would be all of CA-263 (Former US 99) when I decided to take a slight detour on my way back from a road trip to San Diego last week.

Other routes from that trip include Interstates 15, 210, and 780* and California State Routes 52, 54, 55, 56*, 57*, 110, 126*, 163*, and 905.

*These are routes which were clinched.

Closest I've ever gotten was I got to be one of the first 500 cars to cross the new Louisville East End Bridge, but definitely not 1st.

IN-44. I just traveled on it on Sunday doing some county clinching in Indiana.

US71

Completed or simply driven?

Driven would be US 51 in Wisconsin as well as I-43

Completed: IL 251
