True, in the strictest sense. However, CHM did sort of introduce the idea of partial clinches, clinching mileage or segments, if not a whole route itself. :)

MT 47 since you have 70 MPH speed limits in addition easy access to make a high speed escape on your choice of I-90, I-94, and if you're crafty even US 212.

There's no such thing as a "multi-state route", it's just as many state routes as states implied that happen to have the same number.

It is a near certainty that some shorter 3dis have been walked by litter pickup patrols, highway construction crews, facility maintenance folks, etc.

Also I-180 in Wyoming is probably walked every day by somebody as it has sidewalks on nearly all of it and a well worn foot path where it doesn't...

I'll have to see if have pictures of the Burma Shave signs that are up on AZ 66.  I know for sure they have them in the back lot of the Hackberry General store, you could say that in effect...you do drive to Burma Shave.
