Has anyone ever tried to compile a list of even-numbered US routes that are signed north-south, or odd-numbered routes that are signed east-west?

Here's my attempt:

US 1 -- signed E-W in Connecticut
US 4 -- signed N-S in New York
US 24 -- signed N-S in Michigan
US 33 -- signed E-W in Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia
US 35 -- signed E-W in Ohio
US 42 -- signed N-S in Ohio
US 52 -- signed N-S in several states
US 62 -- signed N-S in New York
US 68 -- signed N-S in Ohio
US 220 -- signed N-S for its entire length
US 250 -- signed N-S in West Virginia
US 258 -- signed N-S for its entire length
US 522 -- signed N-S for its entire length

What have I overlooked?
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

For historical examples, anyone know if US 66 was signed north-south in Illinois? And US 6 in California?

Ain't US 98 signed North/South in part of Florida?
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

99% of all East-West signage has been changed to North-South.  A couple of stray remnants still exist in the wild.

US 62 is also signed North-South in PA
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

US 83 goes E-W when it parallels the Rio Grande in TX.
US 96 goes N-S, and US 57 goes E-W.
I also think US 340 is signed N-S along most of its route.

Correct.  US-340 is posted as East/West for the 17-mile stretch in Maryland; the short east/west stretch in Loudoun County, Virginia is posted as North/South consistent with the remainder of the route up-and-down the Shenandoah Valley.

But AFAIK signage is N-S to match the Mexican highway of the same number.

If I understand correctly, that topic was discussed in this thread.
