I haven't looked into this question in depth, but my answer is probably Texas FM-2248.

Not quite clinched, but I have been on almost all of PA 997.

My guess is --- many of you only know this road due to its being at the exit just to the east of the Blue Mountain tunnel on the mainline of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (around mile 198 or 199). Heading westbound on Turnpike, this is where my heart takes a (happy) jump, because the road gets very scenic after that.

I have been on it from the PA Turnpike all the way south to the MD line. There is a short portion north of the PA Turnpike I have not been on.

The highest one I could find is SR-1721 in Hollymead, VA. There is probably a few higher numbers though.

The highest route that isn't a VA Secondary is I-785 NC.

FL 9336

Looking back at my entry in this thread, I think I may have to rescind my response of FL 9336.

Although I have ridden the entire length of what is now FL 9336, that was back in the 70s when that road was still designated at FL 27.  My philosophy is to count the number of the road at the time of travel rather than what it is today.  (That doesn't mean my rule has to be your rule)

So the route number I have been on 100% of is now the more modest MD 953.

For me, I think it's KY 1631, but I'm not 100% sure; I drove it on a trip to Kentucky Kingdom without noticing it was a state highway at the time, and I'm not sure if I drove to the southern end before turning around or not. If I don't count that, it's IN 931.

Still at 9532 for me. I may want to catch that 9998 I have available in my province (I even drove by it on my way back from Toulouse, but I wasn't alone) :sombrero:.
