Roads that transit each County Seat in One Specific State
roadman65:
US 101 in CA comes close, but misses one county seat out of all the counties it’s aligned through. San Benito is the one exception as Hollister, not on the route is it’s seat.
US 90 in Florida enters Nassau County where it’s seat is no where near it, but enters all other seats of every other Florida County.
US 13 in Delaware does two of the three counties of the state, although at least Sussex County Seat of Government is served by a child of it, US 113.
US 199 at one time in two states hit both of its two counties served in OR and CA.
I have yet found the perfect US Route that serves all state counties it transits. Are there any for real.

US 136 in Missouri hits every county seat on its route. Missouri has about 100 counties. No way does any highway hit them all.
NWI_Irish96:
For US highways in Indiana, US 50 comes very close. Of the 8 counties is passes through, it enters the city limits of 7 county seats. The 8th is Jennings County, where it misses Vernon by a few miles.
US 24 also comes close as it hits 7 of 8, missing Rensselaer in Jasper County by several miles.
There are a few state highways which do this.
IN 15 enters the county seat in all four counties.
IN 44 goes 6 for 6.
Probably a couple others I haven't thought of.
GaryV:
US 2 in Michigan (UP) is an all-but-one: It goes through Menominee County, but not the city of Menominee.
SkyPesos:
In Ohio, US 35 gets 7/7
For a near miss, US 127 gets 8/9, missing Defiance
I thought US 42 would get it too, but my guess was way off (gets 10 of 14). Due to its diagonal nature, it nixes a corner of the counties it misses (Butler, Clark, Union, Wayne)
US 23 has a streak of hitting every county seat from its southern end in the state all the way north to Wyandot (Upper Sandusky), then misses the rest north of there.
