New page: routes traveled by number

[mapcat]

Looks great! How hard would it be to add a "travelled/clinched" option?

For this, I wonder if it's better to add a "group by route number" option to https://travelmapping.net/shields/clinched.php instead.

I'd like to see that!

Any way that the specific highways that pop up could be linked to their highway browser entries?

I don't think that it is possible. Where should A1 link too? UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Italy, Romania, Greece, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia,...?

I'm actually glad the list stops at route number 999 by default. The list would get very congested if I searched nto the 4 digit range of both Louisiana and Kentucky.

Looks like my lowest non-0 is 170. A good number of the numbers between 301 and 613 will come off the untraveled list when Mississippi is fully on board.

I'm noting that the list seems to be handling bannered routes as identical to their parents, which is not really ideal behavior.

For example https://tmdevel.teresco.org/user/routesbynumber.php?u=duke87 says I've been on OH100, but... I haven't! Look at https://travelmapping.net/shields/clinched.php?units=miles&u=duke87&cort=traveled and it correctly shows OH100 Truck (South Tiffin) as traveled but not OH100 itself.

And there are duplicate numbers even within systems. For example, five NT 5s, four AK 7s, three A-440s, two QC 136s. But at least there could be a link to one of them, with the HB's "jump to similar route" feature pointing you to the others.

I need to put it aside for now with some pressing work deadlines coming up, so I have updated the text on the new page a bit, added a link to the traveled/clinched routes page, and put it on the production site.  Please feel free to add GitHub Issues related to problems and/or feature requests.

This is fun, even if it gives me something new to obsess over:

Missing numbers: 525 673 688 738 767 793 809 813 816 831 843 853 877 887 918 929 939 942 945 959 962 963 972

I've been on OH 767 but unfortunately it's not signed.

This makes me want to add the ORH system all the more...I could actually get a 48 (US 395 from John Day to Burns) onto my list! I've seen both ends of 48 at least...

If you can scrounge up a 525 somewhere near you, you can jump into the game. and go straight to the top, overtaking me at 609. That will make Rothman (leader of the "get Oscar" brigade) very happy.

My own 525 is in Washington state, but maybe you can find something farther east.

The best way to find a route is by using https://travelmapping.net/hb/findroute.php



I think that it would help more "for the game" having links on https://travelmapping.net/user/routesbynumber.php to findroute.php for the "Missing Numbers".
You can easily filter the result, e.g. for continent. However, findroute (currently) outputs all routes containing the string, that means, also KY1525 and KY3525. And the url is (currenlty) not updated based on the filter.

I still hang at 144 but there is one quite close to me, just a 2.5 hour drive to get there. The missing 300s and 400s are in a similar distance up to 3.5 hours from home. I can catch a lot of these missing numbers with a simple one-day trip.
575, 576 and 581 are more challenging but doable with two-day-trips. Once done, 625 will be the next missing route which will be a little bit easier to catch - just like the remaining 600s around Dortmund, DEU-NW, or Strasbourg, FRA-GES.

Sounds like a nice little goal for 2022


Edit: @oscar, you wrote that you are at 609 but I think you also miss "0 386 399 437 498 539 554 600 606", don't you?

If he's like me, many Mississippi highways are not yet out of development in TM which would count towards that number. There are also lots of Texas Farm-to-Market and Ranch-to-Market roads not included, as well as Virginia State Secondary Routes which are not in TM at all...though FM/RMs are a work in progress.

That puts me at 479; if we include shielded county-maintained roads (a bone of contention at AARoads), I'm up to 558 as my personal lowest.

My count includes two Virginia state routes not in TM (386 was decommissioned after I clinched it, 399 is unsigned); three signed county routes (437 in Alabama, 539 and 554 in New Jersey); one signed Mississippi state route not yet in TM (498); and two Virginia state secondary routes that aren't and never will be in TM (600 and 606).

Zero doesn't count under the rules of the AARoads game, which is limited to positive integers (no West Virginia fractional routes either).
