Clinched state highways

[Alps]

As far as I am concerned, legal restriction of access is no excuse for fudging a clinch. Any route which crosses the border cannot be clinched without going through customs unless there is a way to make a U-turn basically right at the physical location of the border (example: I-5 at San Ysidro). The same goes for state highways which end at military bases. Clinching the highway may require actually entering the base, and if I can't legally do that, then tough, I can't clinch the highway.

Depends on the length of highway. I consider a highway clinched if I exit just before a toll at the very end, or if I turn around in sight of the border without crossing it, or if I turn around right at the military base gate. Then again, if the route is defined through the base and not just up to the gate, I wouldn't take the clinch. That's pretty rare.

[vdeane]

Yeah, I'll fudge at borders etc. but I wouldn't count something like MS 607 unless I was somehow allowed through Stennis (why a posted state highway goes through a restricted area, I have no idea).

I'm sure I'm missing a few, but I've never really paid much attention to clinching state routes (except in PA.)

[kurumi]

Not the whole list, but just a handful of the more fun ones to clinch:

MT 40
UT 63
HI 30
CA 262 (w00t)
PA 118 (got so sick of I-80)
CT 66 (a little of everything)

Added VA 10, VA 149, NC 615, VA 403, VA 405, VA 191, and VA 125 to my list today. 615 and 125 were the most interesting of the bunch. VA 10 is the longest route I've clinched.

[deathtopumpkins]

Did you do the ferry at the end of 615 or turn around and head back up into Va Beach?

[Takumi]

We took the ferry and then went back via 168, Centerville Turnpike, and VA 165.

I clinched NC 175 on Saturday!

and I, Utah 59!

I had all but one or two blocks of it, having missed just a small bit of the street grid in Hurricane... but this time I drove it from beginning to end.  also drove AZ-389, but I had already done that in its entirety.

[CentralCAroadgeek]

California highways I've recently (in the past few months) clinched are 129 and 134.

I added VA 5, 199, 132, and 322 Monday.

Detours don't count for me.  If I can sneak onto it, fine.  Look at it this way - if you end up taking a detour, you might clinch other route mileage.
