My clinched list includes L17564 in Ireland. What have y'all been on? (I know QC has some nice high numbers, if you can figure out which ones apply.)
FL 9336
The highest I can say with certainty is I-894 in the Milwaukee area. However, it is possible the year I went to see my friend in Clarksville TN that when we went driving in Kentucky, we were on a higher number.
FL 806
I doubt I have anything higher than FL 9336. At least nothing that would be a widely-known route number rather than some hidden designation.
Signed: FL 9336
Unsigned: VA 90004 (Dulles Access Road) VA 90005 - George Washington Memorial Parkway
LA3257.

Yep, FL 9336...
VA 90005 on the George Washington Memorial Parkway.
If we require the route be signed...in the US it’s probably KY 1747, unless I’ve been on some bigger FM/RM somewhere in Texas that I didn’t write down for whatever reason.
Outside the US, it’s the A5201 road in London ... but I have no idea whether that’s signed anywhere.
EDIT: I’ve been on FM 2855 in Texas, so that is my US winner.

If that counts, I'm in.
Other than that, I'm now questioning whether I've been on any of the four-digit state routes in Kentucky. The answer is probably Yes, but I'll have to do some work to verify.
My unambiguous answer would be I-990 north of Buffalo, NY, followed closely by KY 988 outside Middlesboro, KY.

KY 3223 if we require the route to be signed. If not, then I'd also have VA 90005.
Unsigned : VA 90003 (Colonial Pkwy) (I have not done VA 90004 or VA 90005 at this time.)
Signed: SR 10076 (https://www.google.com/maps/@38.9639427,-77.4162214,3a,37.5y,357.81h,88.47t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sWS-wQFWdb2P6C1XAV70S8Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192) (Fairfax County, VA, easy clinch at it is extremely short and intersects the nearby VA 209 and SR 847 intersection)

Have that one, too, at least as a passenger
VA 90005. In fact, that's also the highest route number I've clinched. As far as actual posted routes, I've been on a few SR 99xx school routes in Virginia (there was a signposted SR 9901 in Stony Creek that led to an abandoned school), but I can't remember the exact highest number. I think it was SR 9976 in Chesterfield County. I haven't been on any of the 5-digit SRs in Fairfax County.
Like a bunch of people, I have been on (what is now) FL 9336 (Everglades NP). However, I was on it just once back in 1975, and at that time the road was designated as FL 27.
So it may or may not count.
If it doesn't count, then I have been on a piece of KY 3085 - and I had no clue how I did it. Turns out that KY 3085 has a brief concurrency with US 25E in Kentucky, which I have traveled. (Also have been on KY 1629 via the same explanation).
I-985 in GA
Quote from: fillup420 on February 21, 2021, 06:51:13 PM
I-985 in GA
That would be the highest one I've fully clinched.
HI 8930 on Oahu. (I've driven by Navajo Route 9345 in Arizona, but did not turn onto it)
The highest I can remember concretely offhand is I-894, but there are a couple Texas FMs I probably hit while fucking around there in fall 2015.
PA 997
The highest numbered route I've been on (personally driving it or otherwise) is KY 1973.
Limiting to only three-digit routes, the highest numbered route I know I've driven is PA 997, and the highest I've ridden on is PA 999, which is essentially the maximum possible "high score" for up to three digits. (I have no idea what the largest-numbered signed route is; it might be a good topic for a thread of its own.)
The highest i been on was AL-759.
secret NY route 958A.
I-980 Oakland.
I think my winner would be LA-3246 in Baton Rouge.
Highest fully clinched would be FM-2004.
Signed: KY 1978
Unsigned: VA 90004 (Dulles Access Road, I was a passenger on a bus)
LA 3280. The Endom Bridge between Monroe and West Monroe, Louisiana. One of maybe a couple state routes that do not connect to any other numbered routes. It is also unsigned.

Forgot about checking what possible roads I was on the year I went to El Paso. There is FM 3255 in El Paso. I feel like this is my final answer, at least for signed highways.
As a passenger: KY 3192 near Wilsonville, Kentucky in 2006
As a driver: either KY 2052 (Shepherdsville Road) or KY 1747 (Fern Valley Road) in Louisville in 2015/2016/2019
For me, probably Virginia secondary 10292 (Nutley St. in Fairfax, between US 50 and US 29), though there are higher numbered SRs in Northern Virginia. Not counting the unsigned fictional 9xxxx numbers devised by VDOT for some Federal Government highways it didn't build and doesn't maintain.
Coming up with "exotic" stuff: HU-V-9601. However it is set to become A-2616 in the near future.
Now I think, in another thread, about the largest route number difference in a junction, I came up with A-2 and LP-9221. It turns out the N-260/HU-V-9601 roundabout yields a larger difference, even though it doesn't seem so at first glance. And searching up, I see N-230/HU-V-9998. The latter is the highest numbered road in my province (and in all of Aragon, and possibly Spain).
Signed primary highway in the US: FL 9336
Unsigned highway in the US: VA 90005
Signed highway abroad: B9169, Scotland
I'm not gonna attempt to look at VA secondaries, NYS reference routes, or Quebec.
Signed? Hmmmm, I think this might be mine:
(https://i.imgur.com/No8Avpf.jpg)
If we're counting the GW Parkway in Virginia, then it.
If not, then I know I have been on a 9000-series school road in Virginia, and a 6000-series frontage road in Kentucky. And, of course, the Kentucky parkways all have 9000-series numbers.
There's a County Road 90938 in Yatesville, Georgia (signage on back of the stop sign) (https://www.google.com/maps/@32.9139538,-84.1429942,3a,30.7y,342.91h,82.1t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sDBoyuNMaPYNavlkr6H8Ffw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656).
Not sure if I was on LA 3139 or LA 3152 when I went to New Orleans. Highest signed route I can think of was either PA 926 (not sure) or MD 924 (clinched). Been past the end of I-990 as a passenger and have driven NY 984J (the connector from the Hutch to I-684) many times.
Signed: KY-3005 (likely have been on a higher signed route in KY but this one I know for sure I've been on multiple times)
Unsigned: EB 9004 (Pennyrile Pky)
I've been on 90005 as well, but my intent was signed designations mainly. That said, have fun with discourse either way!

Likewise, I've been on the Purchase Parkway (secret KY-9003).
However, I don't think any
signed KY-# route I've been on has a higher number than RM-2248. Every possibility I can think of is lower.
Signed route would be FL SR 9336. I guess unsigned route would be VA 10005.
Maybe we could do this by state.

If we're counting unsigned inventory numbers like VDOT's for Federal roads, I can do better with Alaska DOT&PF's inventory numbers for its own roads. The highest, AFAIK, is 299550 (Broadway in Skagway, which is part of signed AK 98). The highest for a road I've driven (and clinched), that doesn't have a signed state route number, is 297050 (Dangerous River Rd. in Yakutat). I might also have driven at least part of 299520 (Skagway-Dyea Road).
The lowest Alaska DOT&PF inventory number is 50000, for a road in Dillingham. All of the five-digit numbers seem to be in isolated western Alaska communities, with no road connections to the continuous North American highway network.

I've noticed on a surprising number of these I have the highest numbered state highway, despite not having very much of the state. Seems a pattern that the highest number is either an important road or somehow outside of the state's normal numbering scheme, such that there are increased odds you've driven it over any other randomly numbered state highway.
