Any area code with an identically numbered route? :confused:
U.S. 301 in southern Maryland is in the 301 area code.
I can't think of any in WA/OR/ID/MT/WY/CO/UT, which are the only states whose area codes I know all of off the top of my head. Washington has SRs 206 and 509, but neither of those are in the correct area codes. I don't think any of the other states even have corresponding numbered routes. Montana was a solid candidate, but doesn't have a highway 406.
New Mexico appears to have an SR 505 in area code 575 and an SR 575 in area code 505. how's that? that's very good- thank you!
Arizona doesn't have any.

Aha, on second thought it does. I was looking at former US 240 being in the 240 and forgot that 301 comes out of the 410/443 :P
VA 276 is the only primary route in Virginia to share its route with an area code in the state, but it's in the 540 area code (although the 276 area code was formed from 540). In the 703, 757, and 804 area codes, I'm certain there are secondaries with those numbers, but I can't think of any offhand.
KY 859 in Fayette County.
KY 606 is in Nicholas County but I'm not sure if they're in 606 still or if they were moved to 859.
I think KY 270 is in the 270 area code in western Kentucky.
Will have to check on KY 502. If it's in the 502 code then the Bluegrass State is four for four.

There's secondary route 703, Shreve Rd. in Fairfax County just west of Falls Church, in the 703 area code.
Nothing in Wisconsin (262, 274, 414, 534, 608, 715 and 920), although US 141 was once in the 414 area code.
Mike
Nothing in Kansas either (four area codes: 316, 620, 785, 913), either current or historically.
Nothing comes to mind for NY; closest would be NY 347 on Long Island, which is also partially covered by the 347 area code just two counties away. But don't tell a Brooklynite that they have a Long Island area code!
In California, Route 213 towards Torrance is in an area that was once part of the 213 area code, but not since the early 1990s.
Nevada has area codes 702 (Las Vegas/Clark County area) & 775 (rest of state). Neither number is represented with a state route.
The closest Nevada gets is SR 773 & SR 774, both minor state routes in Esmeralda County, part of the 775 area code.
You have CT Route 203 in the town of Windham, in northeastern Connecticut. However, all of Windham County is area code (860). On a technicality, it was area code (203) there until 1995! As for (860), nothing is signed that way here, as our highest signed route is CT Route 372 from the Plainville/Bristol town line east towards Cromwell.

Old Carolina Road in Prince William County, sort of between Gainesville and Haymarket, is also numbered secondary 703.
Neither Alaska nor Hawaii have routes matching their area codes. Alaska's routes don't even go into three digits. Hawaii (a/c 808) had several former routes in the 8xx range, but the closest it ever came was 809.
I found a couple of 804 routes within the 804 area code: secondary route 804 in northwest Hanover County, as well as frontage road 804 (which, unlike the secondary, is uniquely numbered as such) in Dinwiddie County.
None of Oregon's area codes (503, 541, 971, and 458) is currently the number of a state route or state highway. However, between 1937 and 1966 there was a Jordan Valley Highway #458 as a hidden highway designation; in 1966, it became part of I.O.N. Highway #456, which is US 95's hidden hwy name and number in Oregon today.
Maine has a Route 207 near Scarborough. I believe 207 remains Maine's sole area code.

Connecticut does have an unsigned SR 860, but it's in the 203 area code. So, Connecticut joins New Mexico on the list of states with no match but an opposing pair.
I would assume that New Jersey must have a CR 609 somewhere in the 609 area code. Whether it's in a county that signs its routes is an entirely different matter, however. There's also a CR 551 in the state, but in the entirely opposite corner from the 201/551 area code.
Louisiana only has one match. LA 337 near St. Martinville/Lafayette. LA 318 may be a historic one. It's near Jeanerette, but I can't recall if 318 ever extended that far south. It was either 318 or 504.
For IL:
Chicago area-
312 - Chicago Loop only (at one point 708-630-847-773-224-331-872 were all 312 until 1989)
708 - Chicago S Sub/Near W Sub (first 312 split that was all Chicago suburbs until 1996 when split into 630 and 847)
630 - Chicago Far W Sub
773 - Chicago city limits outside Loop
847 - Chicago N Sub/NW Sub
224 - 847 overlay
331 - 630 overlay
872 - Chicago overlay for 312 and 773.
Downstate Illinois -
217 - Springfield / Champaign / Quincy
309 - Peoria /Bloomington / Moline
618 - East St Louis / Mt Vernon / Carbondale
815 - Joliet / Rockford / DeKalb / Kankakee
779 - 815 overlay
At this point, there are no numbered roads that match any of these area codes let alone within the area code.
447 - future 217 overlay
464 - future 708 overlay
730 - future 618 overlay
The closest Michigan comes is future M-231, but it's in the 616 area code. The boundary between the 616 and the 231 area codes is the Ottawa—Muskegon county line, and the future M-231 is only in Ottawa County.
Looked up KY 502. It's in Hopkins County, which used to be in AC 502 but is now in 270.
The only numbered route in Georgia that shares a number with an area code is SR 404, better known as I-16, which does not pass through the 404 area code. The only other area code that could conceivably work is 229, but I don't believe there is a current route with that number.
There are two in Indiana that are one number off: SRs 218 and 261. SR 218 isn't in AC 219, though, and SR 261 and AC 260 are in opposite corners of the state.
MN 218 once was in AC 218, but hasn't extended that far since the early 1960s.

There's certainly a 609 in the 609. I wasn't really looking for counties and other secondaries - though it's valid!
Can't think of any in Florida, but there is an sign on I-95 south that says Miami 305 (miles)...photo on laptop, sorry.
305 wouldn't be in Miami-Made or Monroe Counties.
954 nor 754 wouldn't be in Broward County, although it would be close by, on the grid.
SR 786 is in Palm Beach County, but outside its area code.
863 doesn't exist (I think), but it could sort of fit in its area code if it did.
813, 850, 727, 904, wouldn't be that far north.
352 and 321 are mysteries to me, I'm not sure they exist, but I could be wrong...they would be out of the grid, anyhow.
Arkansas: Area Codes 501, 479, 870...No match
Missouri: Area Codes 417, 314, 636, 573, 660, 816...No match
Kind of surprising that MO doesn't have a match on at least 417... I know there is a 413 in area code 417, but that of course is numbered so because it is old 13.
Oklahoma's area codes are 405, 580, and 918. Oklahoma's highest state highway number is 325, so...

The 337 area code is the former southern section of the 318 area code. 504 used to encompass all areas east of the Atchafalaya River until the 225 and 985 was carved out back in the 90s.
LA 985 is in the 225 and LA 504 is in the 318.

Until 1999, however, SR 219 existed in AC 219.
NY 315 is in Area Code 315. NY 315 can be found south of Utica, connecting NY 12B with NY 12.
While PA 570 was decommissioned in 1946, its routing is in present day Area Code 570.
D'oh! How could I forget about 315? Oh wait...I'm from Rochester; we make it a point to forget about 315ers. :-D

Prior to 2000, SR 407 was in AC 407 (it's been 12 years since 321 was adopted? Wow).
352 is in the 904 and 321 is in the 352...somehow, they always escape matching roads to area codes down here.

I forgot about 561 (that is, until I passed by on the Turnpike yesterday) which seems to be a county road in Lake County, roughly 200 miles NW of area code 561.
Forgot about 407, although the area code was created in the 1980s, it's rapidly shrunken in area since then.
The only area code in North Carolina with a corresponding route number is 704, but NC 704 is currently entirely within area code 336. Historically, all of North Carolina was area code 704. Until the split with 919 in 1954, NC 704 was within area code 704. No other area code in NC has been used as a route number in NC.
None of MS's four area codes (228, 601, 662, 769) have matching highways. The closest would've been MS 603 in Hancock County, when that part of the state was in 601 (it's been in 228 since 1998).
Another SR 804 in AC 804: Rock Hill Road in Chester, VA.
There are several ACs in Pennsylvania with corresponding SRs, but none are grouped together:
412 (Pittsburgh) - PA 412 (Bucks and Northampton Counties)
724 (Pittsburgh suburbs) - PA 724 (Berks and Chester Counties)
215 (Philadelphia) - PA 215 (Erie County)
484 (Philadelphia suburbs) - PA 484 (Fulton County)
267 (Philadelphia suburbs) - PA 267 (Wyoming and Susquehanna Counties)
