Lowest-numbered route you haven't been on

[deathtopumpkins]

So apparently on a trip to WV back in July I drove on a few miles of WV 92, which means I've now been on everything under 100.

It appears my new lowest number is 157. Coincidentally I'll be picking up AL 157 in a few weeks thanks to its concurrency with US 72 Alt in Muscle Shoals, which will make my lowest number 188.

[I-55]

Right now it looks like the lowest for me is 86, though at one point before I joined this forum I read this thread and remember finding myself somewhere in the 110s, though I don't have the writing to reference now. I'll keep looking for an 86 I've been on, as well as whatever lies beyond it.

For me, it *might* be 4 or 16. I've been on CA-1, CA-2, PA-3, I-5, US-6, UT- and OK-7, UT-8, UT-9, I-10, (former) UT-11, UT-12, UT-13, UT-14, I-15,  off the top of my head.

I've come close to NM-4 (rode on US-550, which intersects NM-4, but I don't recall riding on NM-4. One possible way I've been on a Route 4 is if there was ever an independent UT-4 in the mid-late 1980s that paralleled I-70 west of Sevier UT.

I haven't ever been on US-16 or UT-16 as of this time. I'll have to double-check.

[US 89]

One possible way I've been on a Route 4 is if there was ever an independent UT-4 in the mid-late 1980s that paralleled I-70 west of Sevier UT.

Nothing ever paralleled I-70, I don't think - SR 4 was just the legislative designation for I-70. The unusual thing about 4 was that it was signed on the original two-lane road before the interstate was built. I've never seen any sort of suggestion that a parallel route was maintained after the interstate opened.

And at any rate, it was decommed in 1977, at which point any portions of the old road that hadn't been replaced yet would have been signed "TEMP I-70". I don't know if SR 4 shields stayed up after '77, but it seems unlikely - there is a photo somewhere online of a SR 4/TEMP I-70 assembly on that portion, but I have no idea when that was taken.

Choose one or choose not.  There is no "might."

I get to revise mine. Turns out I have been on KY 298, which has a short concurrency with US 231 south of Owensboro.

I've been on NY 299, KY 300, US 301, KY 302, KY 303, KY 304, KY 305, KY 306, KY 307, KY 308, KY 309, WV 310, WV 311, KY 313, VA 314, KY 315, TN 316, TN 317, TN 318, TN 319, TN 320, US 321, US 322, KY 323, KY 324, KY 325, TN 326, SC 327, KY 328, KY 329, KY 330, WV 331, TN 332, KY 333...

I don't see a 334 that I've been on, so I guess that becomes my lowest-numbered route that I haven't been on.

[CoreySamson]

Here's my top 20:

1: La 1 between Addis and US 190
2: ?
3: TX 3 somewhere near Dickinson. (80% sure of this)
4: I-4 in a couple spots in Orlando
5: I-5 in multiple spots in SoCal
6: TX 6 south of Houston
7: AR 7 in Arkadelphia
8: I-8 in San Diego
9: ?
10: I-10, nearly the entire way from San Antonio to I-75
11: AR-11 near Hazen
12: I-12, entire length
13: AR-13 near Carlisle
14: ?
15: ?
16: ?
17: ?
18: ?
19: LA 19 near I-110
20: I 20 in Jackson and in Marshall, TX

So yeah, I don't think I've ever been on a 2. Weird.

[Takumi]

Turns out I was wrong about 9, as I totally forgot that most I-95 in Florida carries the internal State Road 9 designation, and I've been on that from I-4 north. My real number is 18.

Pandemic torpedoed my planned trip to go get OH 266.  I have to double check but when I finally do go get that, my lowest number not traveled will jump to 427.

I actually have a small portion of FL 9 just south of FL 924 from a band trip to Miami about 12 years agp, but it was not long enough for me to even include in Travel Mapping.

You might have 266 if you've been near old US 66 just west of Springfield, Missouri? US 266 in Oklahoma?

428 is my next lowest-number after 398, but that also seems to be a similarly elusive one. FM 428 near Prosper, Texas?

Or unless you've driven some city streets in greater New Orleans. 428 is on the West Bank.

I'll update much later today.

I mean, technically FL 9 is signed somewhere, just not where I've been on it. I'll leave it up to you.

Speaking from experience, if you get a traffic citation on I-95 north of Golden Glades Interchange, you'll receive professional confirmation that it is indeed State Road 9.

Actually drove I-40 across Oklahoma in Jan 2019 and had I been alone would've done a little back and forth to drive all of US 266.  But can't do that  after 3/4 of a cross country trip with others present...

I thought about getting off I-40 at the US 266 exit to get gas but thought that would've been cheating for the purposes of this thread.

[Rothman]

I guess this is it.  It's not up to me to choose what you do or do not count.  If you want to count designations that are unsigned, that's up to you when you report your number.  But, I reserve the right to mutter.
