Historical CA-24 could qualify. At its maximum historical range, it started in downtown Oakland right by the bay. Then meandered through farmland and the Sacramento River before then climbing the Sierra and cresting at Beckwourth Pass (modern CA-70 today). It was somewhat similar to I-80, but had an even more diagonal routing.

I-565 certainly qualifies, I'd say. West of County Line Road, it still feels fairly rural, even with all of the new development cropping-up along it, while east of County Line Road it definitely feels a lot more suburban. The fact that part of the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge crosses part of I-565 in Limestone County probably helps.
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

So the county line is where all the development stops? Surprisingly, I haven't heard of any metro area that does this. Though I don't really pay attention to metro boundaries.

Not really, as development has been going up in Limestone County along I-565 for years, most notably around Greenbrier and Mooresville (Exits 3 and 2), but the difference in the amount of development is certainly noticeable when you cross the county line.
