My Experience is CA-51 and I-305 Sacramento AKA Business 80 and AKA Us-50 West end.

Countless.  NY's reference route system will do that.

The first Interstate I ever clinched was I-296! :)

Any of Oregon's highways, though the newer ones have their route numbers match when possible.

I have been on unsigned I-305 and CA-51 in Sacto. Not sure about any others...

US 24 in CO where hidden on I-70.
US 85 & 87 where hidden on CO I-25
US 54 on I-40 from Tucumcari, NM to Santa Rosa, NM
US 84 where secret on I-40 in NM.
US 1 & 9 on I-95 in Fort Lee, NJ.
US 9 on the Garden State Parkway near New Gretna, NJ as shields on the Parkway have been removed.

Whatever the NY reference route is that links NY-22 to VT-17 on the south end of Lake Champlain.

Countless Minnesota 8xx and 9xx routes. Particularly 801A (connecting U.S. 169 to MN-13 at Savage) and 952A (South Robert Street in St. Paul). In fact, since Minnesota routes that terminate at interstates technically end in the midpoint of the over- or underpass, all the connectors to the far ramps are 8xx routes.

CA-51 in Sacramento. U.S. 52 from St. Paul to where it exits in North Dakota. Probably the longest, U.S. 85 from Fountain CO to the NM-TX border. U.S. 87 across Colorado.

QuoteIn fact, since Minnesota routes that terminate at interstates technically end in the midpoint of the over- or underpass, all the connectors to the far ramps are 8xx routes.

There are several that continue through the interchange to the far end.  MN 4, MN 16, and MN 251 come to mind.

As for the OP, I have too many to count.  Besides what the "other Steve" mentioned for Minnesota, there are numerous ones in both Maryland and Mississippi (MS 992 in Picayune, as an example).

Off the top of my head, I can think of Virginia's 302, 90003, 90004, and 90005; Florida's 91; New Jersey's 700 and 444; New York's I-478 and I-878; Maryland's I-595; and formerly DC's I-695, although that number is now partially posted (I think "partially" is a fair description because its posting is at best haphazard).

I'm not familiar with New York's reference route thing and so I don't know the numbers for the Belt Parkway and various other such routes.

Gobs of them in Kentucky. Not every numbered state route is signed.

And more than a few in West Virginia and Virginia as well. You won't see any signs for WV 6 or WV 101, or VA 283.

This is actually a signed route now.  NY-185.

I drive Hidden US 169 in Kansas frequently.
I've probably driven other hidden US routes without even realizing it.
I've driven part of Hidden I-444, but I didn't know about it until later.

Not something I keep explicit track of, but I've certainly been on plenty of unsigned routes in PA, NY, and CT.

I accidentally clinched hidden I-124 in TN once. That is to say, I did not realize when I drove it that it was an interstate.
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

I've been on a good deal of unsigned routes in Nevada, since several state routes in urban areas are notorious for not being well signed. SR 171 (the McCarran Airport connector to I-215) is the only freeway-grade state highway in Nevada, and also isn't signed.

Same here.  I've been on almost all the parkways in the New York City area.  Then, there's the southern section of the New Jersey Turnpike (NJ 700).  In Connecticut, there's the Milford Parkway (SR 796), the Sherwood Island Connector (SSR 476), and the Hammonasset Connector (SSR 476).  There's probably a few others I'm not thinking of.
