Always thought NY-28 should get more play than it does. Catskills to Adirondacks (and I'm extra biased because it passes through Cooperstown), one of the great single-route scenic drives in the east, IMO.

None, if it involves the aforementioned private monopoly on marketing a route shield.  Ridiculous.

I have a few nominations.

MA 28: Main route on Cape Cod.

NY 9N: Important route in the Adirondacks, passes through Lake George and several other well known Adirondack towns.

RI 1A: Runs along the shoreline in Rhode Island.

CA-68 has a large following, especially among the skater culture. I've seen various "68" t-shirts and stickers. Same with CA-1, US-101 and US-395.

Yes, 395 has its own online store at http://www.395store.com/ and a physical store in the Eastern Sierra in Bishop.
Yup, I've been there a few times. Bought some 395 shields, the guy who runs the place said he can also do custom designs, but he hasn't responded to my emails yet.

Nevada should market US 50 known as "the loneliest highway in america" although that merchandise would be depressing.

I'd bet that since US 50 was formally labelled "The Loneliest Road" that it is no longer the Loneliest Road.  I seem to remember threads of way back yore that discussed that.

U.S. 50 in Nevada does have some marketing, especially at shops in towns along its route. For a time following the official designation, the state had an active website that helped in the promotion.

U.S. 50 in Nevada, while not the busiest highway, was never as lonely as it was made to seem. U.S. 6 across the state is much less traveled, and there are several state routes that average even fewer cars than that (like way less than 100 per day).

Good catch.  MA 28 is just a jam-packed miserable strip of Americana.

I've seen similar stickers on cars for M-1 (Woodward Avenue) as well as the M-22 and M-119 stickers.

I've also seen stickers for M-11, M-21, M-37, M-43, and M-77.
