I-95: Richmond, VA and Richmond, RI.  Also Greenwich, CT and West Greenwich, RI. Clinton and Fairfield, CT and ME.  Newport, DE and ME.

Do any of those pairs also apply to US 1?

Greenwich and EAST Greenwich. Otherwise, US 1 is far away from I-95 and even misses Delaware altogether.

I wouldn't say that US 1 is "far away" from I-95 until south of Richmond when it goes in-land and I-95 stays a little closer to the coast. Even I-95 itself barely goes through Delaware.

I-90 goes through Erie County Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. It also goes through both Angola, Indiana, and New York (equidistant from Cleveland)

jdb1234

US 29 goes through Escambia County, AL and Escambia County, FL

But then one can say US Route 1 passes through Middlesex County, MA, CT and NJ. In the MA case, it's only the small portion of it when you're in Malden.

Until recently US441 started in Lake City Tn. now Rocky Top and Lake city Fl

Vancouver, BC and Vancouver, WA - Both served by the same roadway, just with Different names, I-5/BC 99. 
Bonus points that US 99 and BC 99, effectively the same highway, also went through both Vancouvers.

Both the Eastern & Western Segments of I-76 have exits for Akron, OH and Akron, CO, accordingly.

And I-80 also passes not too far south of both Toledo OH and Toledo, IA.

Also, US 20 passes through Toledo, OH and Toledo, OR.

CNGL-Leudimin

Too bad they can't make it across the pond to serve Toledo, Spain.

US 40 passes near California, PA, and used to run all the way to California.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Super Mateo

US 20:  LaGrange, IL & IN
US 150: Danville, IL & KY

US-1: Richmond County NC (Rockingham) and City of Richmond VA.

Some more US 1:

Rockingham County, New Hampshire and Rockingham, North Carolina
Columbia, Maine and Columbia, South Carolina
Camden, Maine and Camden, South Carolina



And this is a close one but US 1 passes through Sanford, NC and comes VERY close to Sanford, Maine.

Though it’s not a continuous route, I always got a chuckle out of this sign on US 222 at the PA Turnpike that reads “I-76/PA TPK - Denver”.
That's also a candidate for 'Department of Redundancy Department' - with both the PA Turnpike shield and PA Turnpike legend.

I mean Michigan, Noel. I don't think there is a Niles, IN.

Niles, MI is just over the state line from South Bend, IN. I-80 on the Indiana Toll Road (concurrent with I-90) serves Niles. Here's a sign on the ITR near exit 77: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.722335,-86.2727372,3a,75y,90h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sFgvs-jpQL-Zk_hgg4hNkRA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Sort of close, but not exactly:

I-22. Fultondale, AL and Fulton, MS
If that counts then I can get:
US82 - Gordo, AL and Alamogordo, NM  ;)

I didn't know that sign even existed!  Interesting they didn't include a state since it's not in Indiana.  Probably because I-80/90 run so close to the Michigan border that you can almost spit it them in some locations.

I-75 in Covington, KY already has Dayton, OH listed on the pull-through signs.  Yet it's only a few miles from Dayton, KY.  (I thought I once saw a BGS listing the Kentucky city by that name in the SB direction, but I'm not sure.  NB, of course, would only cause confusion.)  Also, many miles south of there, I-75 has an exit serving Dayton, TN, best known for the Scopes Monkey Trial.

Also, I-75 has an exit for Covington, OH.

I-70 has an exit for Baltimore, OH, just east of Columbus.  The same highway begins/ends in Baltimore, MD, technically at the city limits, I think, due to its truncation (and might even be further away eventually, if the local-traffic section inside the beltway is ever downgraded.)
