CA: 205, 380, 680, 880, and especially 980. Edit: and 238 many, many times. But 238 shouldn't count. :)
TX: 635
WI: 894

2di: That one's tougher because I've never lived near short ones. I could probably say 97 and be not far off, but that would be cheating. Maybe something like 12? Edit: Duh, 30. Probably more than any other 2DI by a factor of at least 2.
Clinched: I-2, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 20, 22, 24, 25, 27, 29, 30, 35, 37, 39, 40, 43, 44, 45, 55, 59, 65, 66, 68, 70, 71, 72, 76 (both), 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84 (W), 85, 86 (W), 88 (W), 93, 94, 96, 97
US50, 101, 175, 199, 290, 380, 491/666
Clinched for now: I-11, 14, 49, 57

I had to really think about this, but I think the answer for me would be Interstate 475 in Georgia. I have been on the entirety of I-475 somewhere from five to ten times in my life. Most of these times were on trips to Orlando, Florida. Since I-475 begins and ends on I-75, this is an easy Interstate to clinch many times if you often travel to Orlando from parts farther north in the South and Midwest. Interstate 475 is a western bypass of Macon, Georgia for through I-75 traffic - this is why it is the route we usually take when passing through the Macon area on the way to Orlando (or other points south, such as Cape Canaveral). I don't think any Interstate - 2di or 3di - compares to the amount of times I've clinched I-475 (GA) in my entire life.
Now alternating between different highway shields for my avatar - my previous highway shield avatar for the last few years was US 76.

US 89

I-215 in Utah. I’ve never clinched it all in one sitting (since it’s a beltway route), and I drive some parts more than others, but I’ve traveled all the segments many times.

I’ve clinched I-225 four times, each time in one sitting, getting to and from the Denver airport. (That one is an easy clinch, since it’s only 12 miles and gets you to the airport from the south suburbs.)

As for 2dis, I clinched I-82 twice. Once on a road trip to Seattle, and once on the way back.

Definitely I-595 (FL), followed by I-565 (AL) at least 10 times each. Less so with I-395 and I-195 in Miami, and 3-4 times with I-475 and I-285.

Not sure if I've clinched I-12 more than twice, but that would be the only 2di that I've clinched more than once.

Tom958

Either I-985 for family/sightseeing or Georgia's I-675 as a short-term commute route.

hbelkins

It would have to be I-68 for me, although I don't have an exact count.

For 3DIs, until it was decommissioned and absorbed by I-26, I-181 would have been the clear winner. With it gone, I'd probably have to guess now that I-471 wins. I-164 would have ranked up there as well, but it's since been absorbed by I-69.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

sbeaver44

I-283 for sure.
As for 2di, almost certainly I-83.

Definitely I-894.  For 2dis, likely I-43.

I have only done all of I-41 a couple of times since it was designated.

Another one would be the original stretch of I-69 but now that it goes much further south I haven't done any of it south of Indy only Port Huron to Indy.

I've also clinched I-75 in Michigan but not in one setting.

Thing 342

I-664 is the clear winner here, given that I clinched it twice a day four days per week when I worked in Chesapeake. Runners-up would have to be I-295, I-464, or I-126.

As for 2dis, I'd have to go with I-64, of which I've driven over every inch of pavement at least 4 times.

TheHighwayMan3561

I'm actually not sure I've ever clinched any 2di more than once (the only one that I can think I may have was the eastern 88), but in terms of state segments clinched I-35 MN would be my winner.

I-540 around Raleigh by far.  I don't think I've done any 2dis multiple times, unless you count the southern I-87.

bassoon1986

I was going to say I-220 in LA, but I realized since I lived between 2 exits, I nearly always drove the eastern or western half, and rarely drove the part between exits 5 and 7.

So I-49 before it was a truly inter-state highway would be mine. Between I-10 and I-20

2DI: I-97 by default (only 2DI I've clinched)
3DI:  I-691, hands down.  I-291 in CT is a distant 2nd, followed by I-291 in MA, I-384, I-290 (MA), I-684, I-391,  then the field of the roads listed below in my signature line.
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

In order:
I-405 (too many too count)
I-205 (twice)
I-105 (once)
I-190 (once)
Ummm... This is awkward, I need to go on a road trip (a good one) but I'm just a kid in high school now.

ODOT, raise the speed limit and fix our traffic problems.

I-459. I've driven the portion from I-59/20 to I-20 at least a dozen times, and I've done the rest of it (terminus to terminus) at least three or four times now.

See it. Live it. Love it. Verdana.

I-535.  Used to clinch it quite frequently when I lived in Superior.

Just about every 3di in the cities where I've lived.

IL: 190, 290, 294, 355
CA: 105, 405, 110, 210, 710
WA: 405, 705

For me, I-190, followed by I-290 (both the Mass versions).

I actually commuted between exit 1 and the northern end of 190 daily for 6 years, had I just gone down to 290 I would have completed all of 190 thousands of times. I imagine anyone who lived in that Fitchburg/Leominster area that commutes into downtown Worcester would achieve that feat.

countysigns

I-280 in Ohio.  Living about a mile away helps me clinch this one about once a month, if not more.  Any trip I have to make to Fremont or Fostoria is an instant clinch for me.
I-475 in Ohio is a little harder to clinch unless I intentionally do it.  If I'm heading to Perrysburg or Maumee, it's easier to take I-75 or OH-25.

mrcmc888

I-140 in Knoxville, Tennessee.  I have been up and down it probably more than 15 times in my life.

Flint1979

I clinched I-375 in Detroit four times today alone.

jwolfer

For me probably i195 in NJ or 295 in Florida..

The only 2dis I ever clinched are i4 and i97

MikeTheActuary

2di: I-97
3di: one of the I-291's (it's debatable which); I-240(TN), I-440(TN), I-185(GA), I-895(MD) would be the next tranche down
QC: A-35
