I misunderstood this thread (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=25778.0") by hbelkins, and I spent a bit of time looking up the last completely new route (state, US, or interstate) that I had never traveled on any part of previously. For me, this route was IN-81, which I traveled on my most recent trip from Chicago to Tennessee this past August, as a way of avoiding monotony. If you include intersections, which I hadn't considered until just now, then the route is IN-71, which I traveled to get to IN-81.
There is no IN 81...perhaps you meant IN 18?
I'm usually not a fan of new threads that are so similar to existing ones...but the newest route I've driven on is US 501 from Buena Vista to Glasgow VA - the northernmost segment.
MN: MN 254
WI: WIS 121

I did. As you can see from the thread title, I am the master of typos.
Last "new to me" route that I traveled on was IN 258, a couple weeks ago.
I don't have a lot of roads left in Indiana that fit this category for me.
OH 823, the Portsmouth Bypass.
For me, the answer is the same as the one I gave in the other thread, as I'd never been on MD-17 before:

MD-17 between US-40 and I-70. We were on our way home from Toronto in June when we hit a traffic backup on I-70, so I bailed to US-40 to detour around the problem, then cut back to the Interstate via Route 17.
NC-34
NC-343
Last route I travelled on no segment of which I had previously travelled was Illinois SR 100 between Kampsville and Alton, in September 2017.
Same as the other thread; CA 371.
Same here - Colorado Highway 93.
Two threads with the exact same OP and posted on the same exact day. I mean, come on.
CO-14 for me, though that was a while ago so I'm probably missing something.

???? The other thread was started by hbelkins. This one wasn't.
It looks like for me, it's the piece of South Dakota 11 that's concurrent with South Dakota 42, each of which I was traveling for the first time ever, just over a month ago.
On further review, I see that my ride back to the Twin Cities on US 12 got me a couple of short concurrencies with Minnesota state routes I'd never otherwise traveled, the last of which being a block or so of Minnesota 9 in Benson.

In this case, he intended "P" to stand for
post, not
poster.
Also, the two threads aren't identical. HB's is for recent new route mileage, period. This one is for new mileage on routes you've never been on before.

I was thinking of creating a third thread for routes that are literally completely untraveled, i.e. you are the first car on the road, but I decided against it.
https://www.alpsroads.net/roads/ma/ma_8a/
For me that would be all of CA-263 (Former US 99) when I decided to take a slight detour on my way back from a road trip to San Diego last week.
Other routes from that trip include Interstates 15, 210, and 780* and California State Routes 52, 54, 55, 56*, 57*, 110, 126*, 163*, and 905.
*These are routes which were clinched.
Oh 300...last month.

MD-90 a couple weeks ago.

Closest I've ever gotten was I got to be one of the first 500 cars to cross the new Louisville East End Bridge, but definitely not 1st.
IN-44. I just traveled on it on Sunday doing some county clinching in Indiana.
Completed or simply driven?
Driven would be US 51 in Wisconsin as well as I-43
Completed: IL 251
OR 206, 207, 74, 331, 203, 237, US 30B, OR 52, ID 52, US 95S, ID 72, 19, OR 451, 452, 453, 361

I was the first person to drive across a new county road bridge in Estill County, Ky., years ago.

I was the first person to drive across a new county road bridge in Estill County, Ky., years ago.
I would have assumed a construction worker was the first. :bigass:
M-227. Also clinched it at the same time (IMHO, M-227 is a waste of state highway mileage that would be fine as a county road)
Nevada SR 878 in September
US 3 Business and NH 11A in New Hampshire (they're concurrent) last Saturday.
MN 251. Went from completely untraveled to clinched. Last one within Iowa is IA 188.
On a short trip up to Walla Walla for the Crashmania Championship last weekend, I came home through the Tri-Cities on Sunday and, although I have been all over the Tri-Cities (A freeway building paradise in the 1980's) I had never gone down West Clearwater Avenue in Kennewick between US 395 and Columbia Center Boulevard until this past Sunday. It was a delightful multi-lane suburban commercial arterial of a kind there is simply not enough of in the PDX metro area. (Columbia Center Boulevard is pretty awesome too but I have been on that street before. A LONG time ago.)
My last completely new route is Iceland Route 261 between Route 1 in Hvolsvöllur to 2.3km east of Route 250.
Here's some photos taken on the road.

A couple of months back I helped a friend who was in the process of moving to Reno by driving one of his 3 SUV's loaded down with household goods. Since I had the following day to myself, I did a "loop" trip on NV 445/446/447 up to Pyramid Lake and back down to Fernley, and then back to Reno on I-80. Had never been out of Reno/Sparks on 445, so that journey was all new to me (no pix, didn't have camera on this trip). Some local friends noted that 447 is the standard access route to Burning Man; but that's something in which I've never had any particular interest. Essentially the trip covered desert, with the lake standing out in stark relief. Trip probably won't be repeated anytime soon; I used to live in the desert, and really don't have the inclination to spend any more time there than necessary!
All in the same day, I traveled segments of Utah SR 101, 243, and 165, none of which I’d ever been on any part of before. So I guess 165 is the most recent.
Did a road trip on CA-142/Carbon Canyon Road and CA-71 recently - first time on both roads.
