Any US City with two US routes in them, that do not physically touch?

I can give you St. Petersburg, FL which has both US 19 and US 92 where both routes do not intersect.  In fact US 19 and US 92 are the city's only US routes in its case. One going E-W while the other N-S and do not junction. In this scenario you not only have two different running US routes, but you have a major city where both of its only routes do not meet as well.

Are there any other cities proper that have at least two routes in its corporation that do not meet?

Do overpasses or instances where they cross over one another with no ramps count? If so, US 206 and US 1 in Trenton NJ.

Nice find though, but they do somewhat connect near the Brunswick Circle as US 1 comes close to it there within a half a mile using Strawberry Street.  Plus Business US 1 does junction with US 206 inside the circle and I would say that it is a loop off its parent.

Louisville. US 42 and US 31W. Also US 42 and US 150.

Frankfort. US 127 and US 460.

Cincinnati. US 22 and US 50.

I don't think US 40 and US 50 touch in St. Louis.

In Asheville, US 25A avoids most of the other US routes in that city.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

US 50 does not even enter the City of St. Louis according to Google Maps.

I believe US-29 and US-50 never meet in the District of Columbia. US-1 touches both of them within the District, but I believe they never touch each other.

Some Louisiana examples:
US 71 and US 171 in Shreveport (ugh)
US 63 and US 80 in Ruston
US 11 and US 61 in New Orleans (not anymore)

This one is a great find, as US 29 and US 50 do not touch at all.  They actually intersect miles away in Fairfax, VA, but you can include Arlington, VA as well for both of these routes do enter that without touching as well.

In Atlanta, US 23 does not meet either US 19 or US 41.

I don't believe US-60 intersects either US-33 or US-250 in Richmond. They come within 1000 feet though.

bassoon1986

Also US 69 and US 271 in Tyler, TX, the only 2 in that city.

In Dallas truncation a caused a lot of these:
US 80 and All US routes there except 67 and it's hidden there.
US 75 and US 77
US 175 and all other US routes in Dallas

In Fort Worth US 81 and US 377

In Jacksonville, TX, US 79 and US 175

I do think they did at one time for US 60 and 250.  I am not sure about that one, but some of our VA experts on here would know for sure.

Boston has three routes that don't touch.  US-1, US-3, and US-20 never touch each other at all.

They don't meet in Kansas City, either. Interestingly, but not surprisingly, they touched at one point in time in both cities.

US-6 and US-67 don't intersect each other in Davenport, but they do farther east in Bettendorf. (Come to think of it, 67 doesn't meet US-61 in Davenport anymore, either, just Business 61.)

In Chicago, US-14 doesn't make it quite far enough to intersect US-12 or US-20. However, it meets 12 in Des Plaines.

I don't think they should, but US-6 and US-218 miss each other in Coralville, IA for that reason.
Davenport, IA -> Valparaiso, IN -> Ames, IA -> Orlando, FL -> Gainesville, FL -> Evansville, IN

Good point. I didn't think of Arlington because it's a county rather than a city, but it is interesting that this happens for the same two routes in two adjacent jurisdictions.

Following further on the point, US-1 also passes through Arlington County and does not touch either US-29 or US-50 while there (it runs up through Crystal City and over the 14th Street Bridge into DC).

In Indianapolis, US 136 never touches any other US Highway, because all the other highways have been rerouted around the 465 beltway while it instead terminates at 465.

Do US 301 and 401 meet in Fayetteville anymore?

US 250 ended at US 60 until 2003.

US 33 also does not touch US 1, US 301, or US 360

They stopped doing so when 301 Business was decommissioned about 1975...

US 6 and US 275 parallel each other for many miles in Omaha and Council Bluffs without meeting, until US 6 turns south at 204th St. and intersects US 275 somewhere in western Douglas County, although whether that's Omaha at that point is debatable.

If overpasses count, US 6 and US 34 avoid each other in Lincoln.

I may be mistaken, but in Joliet, Illinois, I believe US 30 and US 52 avoid each other.

Michigan City: US 12 does not touch US 20 or 421 (US 35 never touched US 421 but it has been truncated outside the city limits, also US 12 used to touch US 421 before 421 was truncated)
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
