Routes that parallel state borders

It has to be obvious, like I-91 at the NH/VT border (along with US 5).
These will probably more common when the state border is a river.

IL 1
I-29 in Nebraska, and across the border, US 75
All of US 166
All of NY 22, and across the border, US 7
I-80 and I-90 in Indiana
US 52 northwest of Williamson WV, probably the longest parallel to a state border.
Eastern segment of Mexico 2 (yes, it's still a state border!)
Clinched, plus MA 286

Traveled, plus several state routes

Lowest untraveled: 25 (updated from 14)

New clinches: MA 286
New traveled: MA 14, MA 123

the western segment of MX-2 runs within 10 feet of the border in some places between Sonoyta and San Luis Rio Colorado.

US 23 in Kentucky would count. So too would the various segments of KY 8.

And so would WV 2, which but for a few deviations runs mostly within sight of the Ohio River and Ohio state line for the entire length of its border.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

PA 32 and NJ 29 on either side of the border. Further south, I-95 on the PA side of the NJ border from the non-interchange with the PA Turnpike to the Delaware state line. Is the ocean a state line? If so, Garden State Parkway parallels it from the Driscoll Bridge south to its terminus.

DE 54/MD 54, which spends about 10 miles with the state line right down its center.

MSR 120

Might want to specify the states for people who don't know every MSR. (It's Indiana/Ohio, with the Michigan section connecting them decommissioned in 1961.)

M-185
M-185 may follow the shoreline of Mackinac Island, but it's nowhere near the Michigan state line. Now US 2 roughly parallels the state line between Ironwood and Iron River before running further away and turning to cross back into Wisconsin.

US 9 (New York), then. It parallels the border as obviously as NY 22 does, just further to the west. So does I-81, for that matter. Methinks there may be a missing criterion here...

Wouldn't every road that runs the same direction as any one of a state's state line count as a parallel road, regardless of it's location within the state?
