The 3 lowest sections of the road are not counted, nor the right-most section.

Hi,

It only counts the longest streak, it's not counting any loops or branches.

My opponent's scoring for the same thing encompassed everything, seemingly including loops/branches.
Also, that doesn't seem to explain why the right-most road piece isn't counted.

When reviewing the final situation in my most recent game, and discussing with my opponent, it's evident there is a bug in how the scoring is DISPLAYED when you hover over various parts of the scorecard. We both saw a different number of tracks/roads highlighted, but in counting the tiles involved, the scoring appeared accurate.

This is quite interesting. Your score of 7 is correct I believe, as the rules state that the Longest Highway is 'the single longest unbroken line of Highway routes that connects a streak of adjacent spaces'.

Interestingly, the rules for the Red and Blue version continue, '...not counting any loops or branches'. However, the Green and Yellow versions just say, 'not counting any branches'. Those versions then go on to explicitly state, 'You score 1 point for each space that has a part of your single longest Highway path drawn on it. Spaces may be counted more than once if your line goes through them multiple times'. There is then an example that specifically includes a loop with three spaces counted more than once. (It's worth referrring to that graphic, as it is difficult to explain!)

Your opponent therefore scored 11 - including the loop with the cross-roads counted twice, but excluding the final stretch of Highway on the right.

I learnt something new today
