Most lightly traveled interstate in your state

[sprjus4]

I-496?

I-496?

What state? Also, I-75 in the UP probably has less travel.

There's no I-496 in Maryland. He was referring to I-495.

For Maryland it looks like it would be I-68 near the MD/WV border - between MD 42 and US 219, AADT of 13,260

For grins, I also looked up the highest - I-270 just north of its split before I-496 - an AADT of 265,633

Neither of which were surprising.

Which I answered with #18. Also I-496 is nowhere close to being the most lightly traveled interstate in Michigan.

496 was originally just a typo.

Yes, it was just a typo - I fumble-fingered the "5" into a "6".  The original post has been edited.

What state has the busiest most lightly traveled interstate?

What state has the busiest most lightly traveled interstate?

Interesting question!  Based on an earlier post in this thread (quoted below), I think Delaware could be a contender.  Wonder if DC could be considered a "state" for this question?

Delaware only has three interstates, so it's not really "lightly-traveled", but the one with the lowest AADT is I-495 with a minimum of 25091.

Maybe New Jersey or Rhode Island.

Looks like for Connecticut it's parts of I-395. Still unsure what it is for Rhode Island.

In Arizona, the award goes to the section of I-8 between Gila Bend and Casa Grande.

For Wisconsin, although I have no figures handy, I'd think that it would be either somewhere on I-43 (either between Manitowoc and Green Bay or near Beloit) or I-535.

For RI, I would say the portion of I-295 between US 6 and RI 146.  It's definitely I-395 north of CT 2 for CT.

Outside of 180 there are a lot of stretches in the 10 to 15000 a day range in Illinois.
Though I'm the current low volume era there has been actual congestion on 180 due to bridge repair. I never thought there would be a day when the only red spot was on 180.
15000 seems like the low volume range . Most of western 88  and 74 and most of eastern 64 and southern 57. Also most of 155 and 72. Parts of 64 and 72 go below 10000. Be interested to see how many Interstates are in the low volume range.

I compiled all of this info back in 2013, so some I'm sure is outdated, but here is (was) the lowest per state.  The number after the @ is the median mileage number between the two measured endpoints.

AL: I-59 @ Mile 240

It would be interesting to see how many of these have changed due to population shifts and whatnot.  There were a couple of close seconds.

Back in 2013 (see the post just one up from this), it was DC, RI, DE, NJ.

Here you go: https://wisdot.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=2e12a4f051de4ea9bc865ec6393731f8

It looks more like parts of I-39.

After I posted that I started thinking about I-39 in the Portage to Plover area.  Traffic does get pretty heavy there on summer weekends, though.
