No state route, U.S. route, Interstate...  Only local or county roads for access.  I'm more interested in stand-alone towns than suburbs, but I'm fully aware people will suggest a suburb as an answer, and I won't try to fight it.

Near me, the town of Clearwater (KS) has no state route, with a population of 2481.

Doesn't have to be numbered to count as a state highway.

A few commenters in that thread took the definition literally, ignoring that U.S. and Interstate routes are also technically "state routes" in that they're maintained by the states.  But enough took to the same definition as kphoger.

Dang!  I searched for a similar topic with various wordings and came up short.  Thank you.

Funny enough, you yourself posted in it when it was made.
Mileage-based exit numbering implies the existence of mileage-cringe exit numbering.

Yeah, I saw that.  It was long enough ago, I don't remember posting it.

Repeating from my previous thread comment: Sammamish, Washington (51,229).

It had a state highway that was decommissioned prior to the city's incorporation. There's no interest in designating a new state route through the city, since there's really no need. Sammamish might annex an area along SR 202, though, and gain a short section.
