What attire is most acceptable when attending a roadmeet?

Having only one would seem to require a unicycle-specific roadmeet. Has such a thing ever happened?

(Yes, I'm making a really bad pun. I'll show myself out.)

Half of a two-person horse costume. You'll be matched up with your other half at the meet, and you can gallop down the road together.

Pick a route and explain why it got that number.

Example:

MA 25 got its number because it becomes MA 28 after entering Cape Cod, and they wanted to keep the "add 3" that MA 3 → US 6 does for the other Cape Cod bridge.

US 218 will, in fact, take you to US 18.

WI 67 because they knew sometime in the future kids would have fun with it.

I-343 because some drunk Miller Lite executive went to Oklahoma, for a Board of Directors meeting and thought he was still in Wisconsin.

I-42 received its number because that was the ultimate answer to the questions of life, the universe, everything, and "what number should this road be?"

VA-286 got that number because they anticipated the "8647" thing, but they also anticipated that 47 would also be 45, so they needed two 86s. Hence, 286.

This actually happened.

I-69 was originally going to be I-67, but Michigan was concerned people would steal the six seven signs.
