I've only clinched two U.S. highways in Mississippi and that's U.S. 82 and 90. I've been on all of the undivided portions of U.S. 49 (Yazoo City southward and Tutwiler northward) and all of 49W. However, I haven't clinched all of 49E.
In Tennessee, I've clinched all of U.S. 51 and 61.
I've gotten at least one alignment of every current and former US route in California. Getting every alignment is tricky, whether due to aquatic trouble (US-99 under Pyramid Lake or Shasta Lake), general inaccessibility (US-80 as cut into ribbons by I-8 through In-Ko-Pah Pass) or just the fact that they seem to have changed the routing every two years (anything in downtown Sacramento).
I've clinched all of the US routes in Washington. In Wyoming I've clinched US-18, 20, 26, 30, 89, 191, 287, and 310.
I still have US-14 and 16 east of Moorcroft, US-85 north of the US-18 split, US-87 in the extant from I-90 portion south of Sheridan, US-189 from north of Kemmerer to Big Piney, and the US-212 segment from South Dakota to Montana. I should have all those done by Labor Day (along with the rest of the state highway system) however.
Let's see...in other states I've clinched 730 in Oregon, 26, 30, and 195 in Idaho, 40 in Utah, 85 and 87 in Colorado (including the C-Springs weirdness), 138 in Colorado, 87 in New Mexico, 73 and 138 in Nebraska, 36 in Kansas, and 59 in Missouri.
In their entirety, I've only clinched US 138, US 195 and US 730. I should pick up US-16 over Labor Day as well.
I've been on all of I-80 in California, so combined with the surface street alignments from San Francisco to Roseville, I've at least done much of US 40 between SF's South of Market neighborhood and the state line.
Also have done at least some form of all of historic/current US 50 between San Francisco and Stateline, NV, albeit I haven't done the part in Stockton that used to be Route 4 (as opposed to its modern freeway routing that was never US 50), and much of the surface street routings in the East Bay.
Not sure exactly which roads were the 1920s US 48 between Stockton and San Jose - I may have clinched that by pure accident at some point.

I thought it followed 50 to 17. If not, I may have also clinched it by accident, having done just about every mountain pass road (route 130, Patterson Pass, etc).

IIRC, it was something like 50 from 99 in Stockton (so along 4, 5, 205 west) to today's 238, then today's 238 (and part of the 1960s route that was supplanted by the 680 and 17 freeways) to 101. I haven't seen a SJ map showing 48 though...
Arkansas: 59, 71, 82, 270, 271
Oklahoma: 59, 169, 266, 259, 271, ALT 412
Virginia: US 13, 258
Maryland: US 13, 113
Delaware: US 113
Not much variety there...
The only routes I have not clinched in Wisconsin are US 12 and US 63. The first one I have yet to get from New Lisbon NW to Hudson (I have pockets of it in Tomah, Black River Falls and Eau Claire.) I've been chipping away at it since it's almost on the way to my hometown, though i just go up north only 1 to 2 times a year. US 63 just concurrencies with other US and state highways I clinched. That one requires an overnight in Ashland to clinch and is very low priority.
As I'm close to Illinois and Iowa I'll list them as well:
Illinois: US 12 (also in Indiana), 14, 20 and 41.
Iowa: US 52, 151
I've clenched most all of the US highways in Ohio, except for the northern ones where I still have some sections left.
Here's the ones that I have fully completed: US 22, US 23, US 25 (hardly even counts), US 27, US 33, US 35, US 36, US 40, US 50, US 62, US 68, US 223, US 250
The partials: US 6, US6A, US 20, US 30, US 42, US 52 (almost completed!), US 127, US 224, US 322, US 422
Also, in Arkansas I've fully clenched US 49, US 62, US 64, US 65, US 70, US 71, US 271, and US 412 (and probably most of their "B" routes)
In my state (Kentucky) I have clinched all of them. Ditto for West Virginia.
I've clinched a number of US routes in other states as well, but won't bother listing them here.
In terms of nationally, I've clinched US 19E, US 19W, US 25E, US 25W, US 58, Alternate US 58, US 68, US 113, US 211 and US 460. There may be others but that's just off the top of my head.
Though I take mostly U.S. Highways for my solo trips, I've clinched relatively few of them since I'm usually trying to get somewhere within a certain amount of time. Also, I take Bus. Routes more often than Bypass (or the mainline, as the case may be) through towns, so I have several where I've completed at least one alignment, albeit one fifty years out of date.
Mississippi: U.S. 11, U.S. 45, U.S. 51, U.S. 78, U.S. 82, U.S. 84, U.S. 98, (hardly worth mentioning) U.S. 425
Louisiana: U.S. 61, U.S. 190
A far lower total than the interstates.
Wisconsin: US-141, US-2(east)
Michigan: US-141, US-45
Usually I look for the fastest route, and US routes are only a part of it.
Wisconsin: ALL
Illinois: US-12, 14, 20
Indiana: 12, 30, 41, 131 (all one mile of it)
Iowa: 61, 151...only about 30 miles left of 52
California: 50
Oregon: 197
There may be a few others too...
Business US 15 (Gettysburg)
Business US 22 (Monroeville and Lewistown)
US 30, Business US 30 (Bedford and Everett)
US 40, Business US 40 (Uniontown)
US 119
US 219, Business US 219 (Meyersdale), Truck US 219 (Ridgway)
US 220, Business US 220 (Bedford)
US 224
Business US 322 (State College)
Business US 422 (Indiana)
US 422 (Eastern Segment), Business US 422 (Reading)
Not too many I've clinched.
IN: US 30 (alignment circa 1983)
NY: Current US 15 (LOL)
but believe it or not: NONE in my home state of PA or my current residence of TN.
NC: US 1, US 15, US 220, US 311, US 401, US 501, US 521
MI: US 8, US 10, US 23, US 24, US 127
OH: US 23, US 223
VA: US 52
WV: US 35, US 460, US 522
MD: US 301, US 522
WI: US 8
MN: US 8
And too many Business Routes to count.
California: US 50
Well, that's underwhelming. Let's see what else I've got:
none in CT, surprisingly... or much of anywhere else ... oh, here, we go:
Iowa: US 77
Sorry, that's it :-(
WA: US-197
I think I've got everyone beat in the underwhelming department. :sombrero: Perhaps when I get done with pre-dissertation busywork, I'll see about rectifying that.
-Alex (Tarkus)
In my state (Louisiana), I've only been able to clinch US 11 and US 51.

...and that's it. I've done a lot of US 202 and US 206, but I don't think I've clinched them. Again, those are routes I should just go out and take care of, considering they're right in my backyard. We'll see.
The list of state segments of US highways I've clinched isn't very long...
1 (NJ)
1 (NY)
13 (MD)
Yeah, that's it. None in Connecticut, but I have lived in New York in the past, so I do have something for one of "my state"s!
The size of this list is looking to increase in the next 30 days. I will be finishing 7 for Connecticut (and Massachusetts) on a trip to Vermont at the end of the month, and I intend to finish 1 for Connecticut on the way home from the Providence meet.
I think the only one I've managed to clinch is 22 in NJ. Maybe 1, I don't remember if I've managed to cover the whole thing. Here in WA, I've done like 20% of US 2, but this state is too big and I have too little time.
MA, RI, CT, NJ, DE, DC: All of them

Also, 50 in UT, MO, IL, IN, OH, WV; 223 in MI and OH (and overall); 15, 219, and 220 in NY and PA; 12 in ID; 6 in UT; 93 in MT; 101 in OR and WA; 45E in TN and 51 in KY (just got those two earlier this month); 23 in TN; 78 in MS; 74 in NC; maybe some others I can't think of right now.
All of Wisconsin's US highways remain unclinched for me. Closest one is US 8 where I need only drive the tiny segment between US 141 and the border. Continuing on to Norway, MI will result in my first ever clinching of an entire US highway.
I've been on every US highway in Nevada except US 93 Alt, but I can't say that I've clinched any of them except the business routes.
The sections of US hwys that I have NOT been on in OR:
US-199
US-97 south of K Falls (and now around Redmond)
US-395 on its non-multiplexed sections
US-30 on the sections where it leaves I-84 east of I-82

I've driven on every state highway here in OR, including all the US Routes.
Where's your clinched map?
Heh, do you mean, a cmap for xonhulu? If so, I had the same thought - looked at the site for such a username
Florida:

Business US 1 (St. Augustine)
Business US 41 (Tampa; Bradenton; Fort Myers [pre-realignment])
(Italicized is for a decommissioned route.)
I'm pretty sure I haven't managed to clinch any state's segment of a mainline US route, but there are a few that I have all but perhaps a few miles of:
US 331 in Florida (missing the northern 10-15 miles)
US 50 in Maryland (missing inside the Beltway as well as the separate segment out west)
US 3 in Massachusetts (missing inside I-95)
Minnesota:
US 218, US 8
Wisconsin:
US 2 (both segments)
Michigan:
US 2 (both segments)
For Florida I have all the U.S. Highways clinched except for a small portion of U.S. 319 south of Tallahassee, two portions of U.S. 441 in the greater Miami area, and a couple of portions of U.S. 1 between West Palm and Miami. As far as any Business and Alternate routes in Florida, I have them all clinched.
PA: US 1, US 202
NJ: US 322
DE: US 202
MD: US 301
VT: US 4
DC: US 50, US 1, US 29
I have 88.19% of Florida's U.S. Highways clinched. This is one of the few states where I have them all logged into the cmap project no less:
http://cmap.m-plex.com/stat/region.php?u=aaroads&c=usa&rg=fl&du=mi&sort=ra
I have been on, but not clinched, the two truck routes that my stats show 0% of too. Need to update again...
I'm waiting for the cmap project to come up with a clickable map before I start entering data there. :-D

Me, too. Actually writing out all the segments of every highway I've ever driven on would take way too much time and fry way too many of my few remaining brain cells.
Don't do it all in one go then. Do a state at a time; the site will tell you what multiplexes you have as needed. Honestly, if you think entering each route into your log segment by segment is bad, you should see entering each route into the system ;)

However, as was also discussed earlier, it would be a hellacious undertaking (possibly not worth the effort), and may not even be technically possible given how the project is set up.

Keep in mind that the "segments" you'd enter can be pretty long, and if you've clinched a U.S. highway in your state (or any other), the only "segment" you need to enter under the present setup would be just one short line, from one border to the other unless the route begins or ends in your state, or goes through another state along the way. For example, if you've done all of U.S. 50 from coast-to-coast, you'd need to enter short lines for just 15 segments -- CA, NV, UT, CO, KS, MO, IL, IN, OH, VA, DC, and two for WV and MD (since the route enters western MD then reenters eastern WV, before returning to MD on the other side of DC):
CA US50 I-80BL(1A) CA/NV

MD US50 DC/MD MD528A clickable map could require you to click on hundreds of short individual segments from one major or not-so-major intersection to the next, unless a shortcut option was provided for one-click entry of a highway from border to border.
My own large cmap list file was a gradual effort, with the Interstates done state-by-state in a few weeks of snippets of free time evenings and weekends, U.S. routes the same when that was rolled out later, and lesser efforts as some Canadian and state route sets came online (the various European route systems were easy, since I have zero mileage on the other side of the pond). Reconstructing my travels, especially from 1972-2003 where my North America wall map is my main record of where I've driven, was the hardest part for me, but should be less difficult for those of you with less time behind the wheel and/or more diligence in tracking your travels.

I have a 2001 atlas with all of the roads I have driven/rode upon highlighted (just started a 2011 one!). I update my cmap list from time to time, just working on a state or two at a time and coming back to it later. I have all of my Interstates added, but have only added a few areas of US and state highways. I figure there is no rush to get it all logged, so I work on it when I am in the mood.
I have not clinched any of New Jersey's US routes, but I am about 10 or so miles from clinching US 46 and the same goes for US 206.

Pretty much the same thing here...
I've done mine all from memory or as I take the trip.
I have very few highways I've actually "clinched" because I've never taken a trip for the express purpose of "clinching" specific highways. Frankly, it wasn't something I ever even thought about until I noticed other people keeping track of all of the highways they've clinched. I've been interested in county collecting for awhile and my primary purposes for trips have usually been business/family/sightseeing and secondarily county collecting. Since I'm more into county collecting than road clinching, if I'm taking a trip for a reason other than pure sightseeing, I'll pick a route that goes through the most counties in the shortest possible distance, which usually makes it harder to clinch highways.
So since I've never taken trips in order to clinch specific highways, the highways I've actually been on make up a patchwork of segments here and there. It would take awhile for me to go back and determine where I might have actually clinched a US highway in a state. The only US highway I've clinched in my home state of Nebraska is US 26, and I really can't count that one anymore since they've realigned it around Ogallala since I've been on it. I only lack the northern few miles of US 77 and the southern few miles of US 73 and US 159. (I've clinched all of the interstate mileage in Nebraska except for I-129). Off the top of my head, I know I've clinched the entire length of US highways in some other states-longer ones would include US 167 in Arkansas and US 71 in Missouri. I also clinched all of US 65 in Arkansas before they rerouted it with I-530 around Pine Bluff. I also know I've clinched US 60 and US 62 in Illinois-pretty easy since they both last for only about 1 mile in the very southern tip of the state.
I'm a little better with interstates-but most of the interstates I've clinched are 3dis. The longest 2di interstate I've clinched is the western I-84.
I have US 73 in Nebraska. I have all of US 75 north of the US 73 interchange, except for the part between NE 2 and US 34. I also have all of I-129 in both NE and IA.
I also have all of US 77 Iowa. Not a hard road to clinch.

Keep in mind that the "segments" you'd enter can be pretty long, and if you've clinched a U.S. highway in your state (or any other), the only "segment" you need to enter under the present setup would be just one short line, from one border to the other unless the route begins or ends in your state, or goes through another state along the way. For example, if you've done all of U.S. 50 from coast-to-coast, you'd need to enter short lines for just 15 segments -- CA, NV, UT, CO, KS, MO, IL, IN, OH, VA, DC, and two for WV and MD (since the route enters western MD then reenters eastern WV, before returning to MD on the other side of DC):

Well in that case I might join the fun, because I'd only be interested in logging US and interstate highways clinched in a particular state. I don't care to record for posterity, nor do I have an insatiable need for everyone to know, that I "clinched" 15 miles of US 151 in Wisconsin, so I wouldn't bother recording and updating every segment of every US route I've driven on. i'd just worry about when I got a route completed in a state. That might put me way behind mileage-wise if there is some sort of competition aspect to it (like on the mob-rule county tracking site) but oh well...
I posted an idea for a doable interactive thing that would make using the clinched highway site easier, posted aquà (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=1222.msg70235#msg70235) to keep from derailing this thread.

I don't reach that same conclusion at all. It's a matter of having a web-based interface to edit the .list file stored on-server. Clicking on each individual segment shouldn't be necessary.
Jake discusses one possibility (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=1222.msg65946#msg65946) for shift-clicking. It really seems quite easy...
Perhaps...I can be convinced of course if someone comes up with a viable option.
But then there's the server issue. Tim's already complaining about processing time from the number of points, and there's still numerous states/provinces left to do.
^And countries.
Doing this client-side via JS should make for a bit of I/O, but the CPU time hit (server-side) should be negligible.
