In Oklahoma, the highway that runs through Locust Grove and Kansas has been known as OK 11, then OK 33, then US 412, then Scenic US 412, and is currently Alternate US 412. The highway from Muskogee to Wagoner via Okay was originally OK 6, then US 73, then US 69, and now OK 16. For a time, it was also OK 2, duplexed with US 73 and possibly US 69. These two stretches of highway have had 5 different designations. What roads in your state have changed numbers the most times?
The current IL-53 from Bolingbrook to Gardner has been IL-4, US-66, US-66A, and IL-53.
The John C. Lodge Freeway in Detroit: M-116 (according to some sources), US-12, I-696BS, US-10, M-10.
The I-215 freeway between 5th Street and Route 259 in San Bernardino has been the following over the years:
US 91 (to 1964)
US 395 (to 1969)
US 66 (1950s-1964)
Route 18 (late 1950s-1964)
I-15 (1950s-1964)
I-15E/hidden Route 194 (1974-1982)
I-215 (1982-present)
The Arroyo Seco Parkway between the Four-Level and approximately I-5 in Los Angeles...
US 6 (1943-1964)
US 66 (1943-1964)
US 99 (1940s to 1959?)
Route 11 (1951?-1981)
Route 110 (1981-present)
In North Texas:
Denton-Whitesboro Hwy: SH 24, SH 10, SH 99 (route change Denton to Aubrey), US 377.
What is now FM 3524: SH 24, SH 10, SH 99, Spur 428, FM 3524.
Main St in Frisco: SH 39, SH 24, SH 24T, FM 720, FM 3537 (between SH 289 and FM 2478 only) Oddly the 24T came after 24, because 24 moved to what is US 380 now.
NJ the max is probably 4 - original 1923 numbering, changed in 1929, changed in 1953, got bypassed. Something like NJ 166, which was US 9, which was NJ 4, which was NJ 35... or something. It's Friday. Can't think.

You might be able to get more out of county routes that were bypassed at a convenient time.
The stretch of CT 322 from I-84 to I-691 went like this: US 6> CT 14> US 6A> CT 66> CT 322.
In Woodbridge, VA Occoquan Rd has been the following:
VA 1->VA 31->VA 315->VA 25->VA 9->VA 123->VA 253->SR 906

County roads do not count. I stated "highways" which implies a state highway at minimum.

I will have to disagree with evidence from my rural home County in upstate New York, awarded a special National Beauty Award in 1969 and rededicated in 2012.

It is truly one of the nicest rides, and a county highway.
Because of the historical swaps between I-70, I-76, I-79 and their 3DIs in Pittsburgh probably set PA's record for most designations on the Parkway West between the Fort Pitt Tunnel and roughly current I-79
PA 28 (1951-1961)
I-70 (1960-1964)
I-79 (1964-1972)
I-76 (1972-1973)
I-279 (1973-2009)
I-376 (2009-present)
I started the thread so I get to make the rules. Only state or US highways count. Interstates would also count but I doubt there are any that would be any eligible for this thread.

The current NY 185 in Crown Point would take the cake I believe for the state of New York.
NY 347 (1930-1934)
NY 8 (1934-1968)
NY 903 (old reference route system after 1968)
NY 910L (new reference route system until 2008)
NY 185 (April 4, 2008 to present)
All for a 4.11 mile stretch of highway.
J Street in Mojave between the Mojave-Barstow Highway and the north Route 14 junction:
Route 7 (1934-1936)
US 466 (1935-1964)
US 6 (1936-1964)
Route 58 (1964-2004)
Route 14 (1964-present)

Overlaps are cheating. Otherwise I-465 around Indy beats that.

On a technicality: Devils Elbow, MO. US 66 (Mk II), later was part of I-44 (despite having at-grade crossings, now Secondary Route Z, though I doubt it wins the contest.
Also I-244 St Louis now I-270. But not enough designations for serious consideration ;)
Was Highway Z actually signed as I-44? Got a picture?

Only in my memory.
This stretch of Pennant Hills Rd (Cumberland Hwy) around the corner from where I live has had quite a lot of route number changes over the past 50 years.

Ring Road 5 (1964-1974)

Former designations. As in the highway has one number at a time. The Muskogee-Wagoner example is kind of cheating, as I don't think OK 2 was ever the sole number on this highway.

Wilbur Cross Highway in MA (& CT northeast of E. Hartford):
MA 15* => I-84 => I-86 => I-84 again.
*the MA 15 designation lingered for a bit when the highway became an Interstate.
Wow, some examples are crazy. In Europe most roads keep their number for a long time. But still, I can name a couple Spanish roads that have got at least three designations over the years:
Strecht of road from Zaragoza towards the North: N-123/N-330 -> N-330 -> A-23 -> N-330 again. Also E07 until A-23 got realigned.
Zaragoza Northern bypass: A-2 (Would be AP-2 now) -> N-II -> Current A-2, which got overlaid by Z-40. Also E90, and I don't know if it got a number in the former E route numbering.
How about US-191 between Monticello and Crescent Junction in Utah? It's not the most, but it's always been a US Route:
US-450 (1926-1939)
US-160 (1939-1970)
US-163 (1970-1981)
US-191 (1981-Present)
Not unlike US-491 from Monticello to Cortez:
US-450 (1926-1939)
US-160 (1939-1970)
US-666 (1970-2003)
US-491 (2003-Present)
I don't consider US 491 a legitimate US route, so it's still 666 to me. 191 south of I-40 is also still US 666 to me.

The Arroyo Seco Parkway between the Four-Level and approximately I-5 in Los Angeles...
US 6 (1943-1964)
US 66 (1943-1964)
US 99 (1940s to 1959?)
Route 11 (1951?-1981)
Route 110 (1981-present)
Actually, US 6, US 66, US 99, and SR-11 were all on the Arroyo Seco Parkway from 1939 not 1943.
