That might be the most truck-trafficked town in the entire state. I barely hit 55 mph between Mount Morris and I-390, and it was a huge relief when 90% of the traffic got on I-390 SB.

Makes sense since it is part of the fastest route between much of southeast NY and Buffalo, though US-20A in Warsaw says hi.

Although trucks are banned on US 20A in Warsaw, so most truck traffic uses NY 36 to NY 63.

So for the first time in my life I can officially say that I have clinched all highways (Interstate, US, and State) in a county!

Since this post, I had called into question whether I had used part of NY 33 in North Chili. I went to an event at Roberts Wesleyan College several years ago and remember using NY 33 between there and I-490, but realized I could not say with 100% certainty whether I had been between Westside Dr. and NY 259. I had some time to address that today and picked up a full re-clinch between I-490 and NY 259, so now there's no doubt as to my completion of Monroe County.. at least until I drag up something else to nitpick. :)

Seneca County, complete!
I took a short trip today and was able to pick up the segments of NY 414, NY 336, and NY 96A that I was missing, including a clinch of the latter two routes, to complete Seneca County. The trip was just under 3 hours and highlights included several horse and buggy sightings and some spectacular views of Seneca Lake along NY 414, especially south of Lodi. I would have loved to continue all the way to Watkins Glen, but didn't have the time and turned around when I reached the county line.
I find it remarkable that I somehow completed Seneca County before Yates County, which is not only much closer, but I've spent considerably more time there. The southern part of Yates County is just far enough away that it's a challenge to pick up mileage by happenchance (I guess there's a reason it's one of the least visited counties in NY!) but it is definitely in the plans to get down there and finish off NY 230 and NY 14A.

I've had several occasions where it was easier to complete a farther county before a closer one. Shape of the county and the complexity of the road network can influence that.
