Lowest-numbered route you haven't been on

[formulanone]

Picked up Florida SR 549 today, so I'm up to 554 as my lowest.

Getting tight at the top!

Chris

I don't think I'll be near a route 554 anytime soon, so it might be a while...

...oddly, I didn't know Florida 549 existed until about 10 days ago.

[Rothman]

Movement towards the top now...looks like someone could Get Oscar...

It looks like in the US, you can choose between LA 554 and PA 554.

Looking at TM data, I also see KY 554, NM 554, and OH 554, plus a Texas FM 554.

[NWI_Irish96]

I don't know how accurate it is, but Wikipedia has pages "List of highways numbered xxx" for all the numbers we are chasing.

[JayhawkCO]

I don't know how accurate it is, but Wikipedia has pages "List of highways numbered xxx" for all the numbers we are chasing.

That's what I've been using.  I thought I had a 361 in Minnesota because of that, but alas it has been decommissioned and not marked as such on the 361 Wikipage.

Chris

[jlam]

Yes, for my 554 claim, I was using this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highways_numbered_554

[dlsterner]

I don't know how accurate it is, but Wikipedia has pages "List of highways numbered xxx" for all the numbers we are chasing.

Not 100% accurate.  Was looking for a 148 recently; the closest listed one to me was a short VA 148 in Virginia.  But during a recent road trip I passed right by a NC 148 which wasn't on the Wikipedia page.  Fortunately I had the presence of mind to snag it.

To user Jim - might it be possible to provide a way to search the database for occurrences of a specified number?  Looking for a 167 right about now

There are actually quite a number of 167s around the country.

Thanks for the suggestions, although I've pretty much settled on VA 167 as the least annoying "167" to get.  It's just off I-81 near Roanoke, which is reasonable for me to travel.  Other 167's that may be closer are out in the middle of East B.F.

Don't be a sissy.  Go out and get US 167.

My lowest-numbered untraveled route is now 609. My latest trip to Louisiana, via Ohio, filled in all my gaps in the high 500s. It helped that all the routes I needed in Louisiana were in the northern part of the state, with three intersecting US 425 which was part of my route to the New Orleans area.

In the 600s, I'm including Virginia SR 606 near Dulles Airport. That was a road I long ago traveled at high speeds, when I was young and stupid, and before new development north of the airport made it less speeder-friendly. I'm also including two SR 600s, which are continuations of two primary Virginia routes. I mostly likely drove part of one or both SR 600s before I realized the route number had changed, and turned around.

If Mapmikey can get his lowest untraveled route into the 600s, he might be able to quickly overtake me, since I think he's more extensively covered the Virginia secondary routes than I have.

[Rothman]

This game gets pretty silly in the 600s.

[Hot Rod Hootenanny]

My latest trip to Louisiana, via Ohio...

I thought I was the only roadgeek who had legit reasons to travel from Ohio to Louisiana.

[Road Hog]

Anyone who claims to never have been on AR 980 flies straight to the top.

[Rothman]

Only it they've been on the other 979...

[Mapmikey]

If Mapmikey can get his lowest untraveled route into the 600s, he might be able to quickly overtake me, since I think he's more extensively covered the Virginia secondary routes than I have.

it'll be a while...I'm missing 54 different numbers to reach 600.  But yes, if I get there, I will rocket through the 600s and a lot of 700s, too.

[dlsterner]

Is there an over/under betting line for how many months it will take oscar to pass 1000?

But then I'll have to rename the file I'm keeping my notes about this in from getoscar.txt...

I looked back at my New England trip from June and realized I got a 107 in New Hampshire, so I'm at 108 right now.

Have a couple trips planned that would net me 108, 125, 133, 147 and 154 in Illinois, so I'd then be up to 174.

As an Illinois resident, good luck with the 174 when you get to it.  I took a detour in south-central Virginia to get my 174.  I don't think there's another 174 anywhere in IN-MI-IL-WI...OH has one in the northeast part of the state.

Yeah, I'll have to make a Cleveland trip sometime to get 174.

There was a highway 174 in Kenosha County, WI, but it was decommissioned in 1990.

Worst game of "tell the difference" ever, comparing this one to the last one.  Highlights Magazine would be proud.
