67, because memes...
69, because some memes stand the test of time better than others.

67 is proof that even 69 suffers from shrinkflation.

CA 69 was so legendary for sign theft it had to be renumbered to CA 245 by the California legislature.  To my knowledge nobody has stolen a single County Route J6-7 shield yet.  They wouldn't be exactly hard to take with the generously low position County Route shields tend to be posted at:

QC 138 because once you go east of Québec City, the directions for most of it are incredibly straightforward.

WV-62.  When an adjacent route gets relocated or decommissioned, the DOH just tacks on another section.  Even better, the latest extension flip-flops a portion of Old WV-62 that was replaced by US-33 around 1936 or so.  Perhaps the next extension should head down LSR-21 (former US-21) from Ripley -to- Charleston and replace the eastern portion of WV-25 (the remainder of former US-35) to tie all three routes together in a full loop.

VA-28, because it's still not numbered as I-366 and its freeway portion still has a 55-mph speed limit.

Edited to add—Although overall, I agree with ethanman62187 that 55 mph is too slow on that road, at least on the portion north of US-50. The segment immediately south of US-50, despite also being full freeway, feels significantly more congested.

Wisconsin County Road I. How can you give a real road an imaginary number?

Interstate 99. It reminds me of my favorite childhood trolley route.

Those weird fractional routes in West Virginia that have no relationship to any parent.  Or worse, those that have a weak relationship to the parent route like CR-160/1 and CR-260/1 in Kanawha County et.al. (parent is US-60); or even worse than that CR-219/1 and CR-319/1 in Logan County (where US-119 or former US-119 is the parent).

This comes up for discussion from time to eon, and although there are seemingly infinite choices, both rational and irrational, imaginary and fictional, cats and dogs living together, my vote is for: Chavez County C3-14, located just outside Roswell, New Mexico.

I-238 and US-138. They're both just there.
