I've lived in several different cities in my life, and I've noticed a pattern. Several of these cities are connected by the same highway.
Mena, Arkansas and Kansas City, Missouri (US 71, Future I-49)
Tulsa, Oklahoma and Kansas City, Missouri (US 169)
Tulsa, Oklahoma and Conway, Arkansas (US 64)
I also worked in Sedalia, Missouri which connects to Conway, Arkansas via US 65. I have spent a lot of time in Lawrence, Kansas which connects to Mena, Arkansas via US 59, and I got married in Poteau, Oklahoma (marriage didn't work out, thank $deity$).
Waskom, TX, Shreveport, LA, Bossier City, LA and Monroe, LA (I-20/US 80)
Monroe, LA, Pineville, LA, and Woodworth, LA (US 165)
If we don't count a central city and its suburbs, then Washington, DC, and Baltimore, MD (I-95 and US 1). US 1 also goes into the postal area of another place where I've lived, namely, Princeton, NJ.
Beattyville, KY and Irvine, KY. KY 52.
Irvine, KY and Winchester, KY. KY 89.
Spent my youth and college years in Lynn, MA, and have lived in Wakefield, MA since 1990. Both communities are connected by MA Route 129. However, if you don't count the MBTA, it's probably the least efficient way to travel between the two.
I-80 and US-30, Joliet, IL, and Rock Springs, WY.
I-55 and IL-53, Joliet, IL, and Bolingbrook, IL.
Charlottesville and Fairfax, Virginia (US-29)
Montgomery, Alabama, and Durham, North Carolina (I-85)
The town where I was born in Texas is not on any direct route to any other place I've lived.
Boise, ID and Laramie, WY both connected by US 30 with Geneva, IL as an honorable mention since its pretty close. So for 16/25 of my life i have lived within fifteen miles of that highway.
My other would be Boise and McCall ID with Idaho 55.
I have always lived in cities located along US 61 and I-10, not to mention the Jefferson Highway. Not too many cities in that category, though.
On different out-of-state trips, I have managed to visit both ends of US 20 and both historical ends of US 6 (and neither trip was expressly for those purposes, it was a bonus by coincidence).
US 41 - Green Bay WI, Menomonee Falls WI, Marietta GA.
Mine are same in number only but not the actual corridor/route:
Marblehead, MA (Route 114)
Bristol, RI during my college years (Route 114)
Alpena and Ann Arbor MI - US 23
Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti MI - M-17
Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Detroit MI, I-94
East Lansing and Detroit MI, I-96
Cheyenne, WY and Omaha, NE. (I-80)
US 31 - South Bend and Jeffersonville, IN
IN 62 - Jeffersonville and New Albany, IN
I-75: Atlanta and Detroit
I-90 Boston, Chicago and Cleveland/Elyria, OH
Princeton WI and Sheboygan WI on Wis 23
Princeton WI and Wautoma WI on Wis 73
Wautoma WI and Oshkosh WI on Wis 21

old US 66:
Springfield,MO (born there)
Albuquerque,.NM
US 65:
Springfield ,MO
Des Moines,IA
US 101:
San Mateo CA
Menlo Park, CA
US-6, almost. It passes through Davenport, and about 5 miles north of Valparaiso.
Indianapolis and Muncie: SR 67
Indianapolis and Bloomington: SR 37
And in the future, all three by I-69.
East Los Angeles/City Terrace
Pomona
San Bernardino
Interstate 10
Thanks to having lived in four different cities in metro Atlanta (Atlanta, Conyers, Decatur, and Hampton), there are several such connections involving various permutations of I-20, US 19, US 23, US 29, US 41, US 78, US 278, and GA 20.
Honorable mention to US 29, which in addition to hitting both Atlanta and Decatur also comes within about ten miles of my former home in Gaithersburg, MD.

I could add five routes to my list by moving to Indy.
Birmingham and Louisville: I-65 and U.S. 31
Birmingham and Auburn, AL: U.S. 280
Philadelphia; Landover Hills, MD; Fayetteville, NC; Port St. John, FL - I-95

US 31 - South Bend and Indianapolis
Indianapolis and Muncie: SR 67 and I-69 (maybe a bit a a stretch, since it's about 7 miles from Muncie at the closest)
Fayetteville, NC and Fort Lauderdale, FL I 95
Fort Walton Beach, FL and Shalimar, FL and Crestview, FL FL 85
Dover, DE and Dover AFB, DE and Little Heaven, DE and Frederica, DE US 113 (it existed back then)
Dover, DE and Magnolia, DE US 113A (it existed back then)
Dover, DE and Woodside, DE US 13
Wells, ME and Old Orchard Beach, ME are both serviced by ME Route 9.
I live in New Britain, CT, which has CT Route 9, but does not connect to ME's road.
Raleigh, NC; Greensboro, NC; and Jackson, TN--I 40
Raleigh, Wake Forest, and Franklinton, NC--US 1
Starkville, MS and Columbus, MS--US 82
Columbus, MS and Jackson, TN --US 45
San Antonio, TX and San Marcos, TX--I 35
Counting close family who I would visit for holidays and stuff as well as just myself:
Peabody, Mass and Newark Del: I-95
Lafayette, Ind and Albemarle, NC: US 52
Greenville NC and Newark Del is close to hitting with US 13, but 13 misses Newark by just a little. Bummer...
Lafayette, Louisiana and Greater New Orleans: I-10, I-49/future I-49, US 90, LA 182 (okay, it ends just outside of Raceland but it's close enough)
Technically, Lafayette and Metairie is only connected by I-10 since US 90 does not go through Metairie.
My closest example, of all the three cities/towns I've lived in, is Lebanon and Philadelphia, almost connected by the PA Turnpike. (You need to go up PA 72 to get to Lebanon, and the Turnpike goes around the north side of the Philly area, not quite entering it.
New York City and New Haven, CT: I-95 and US 1
Nashville, TN and Raleigh, NC: I-40
Double almost: US 1 goes through Raleigh and comes close to Newark, DE; I-95 brushes Newark and comes relatively close to Raleigh.
Fayetteville and Fort Smith, AR. I'm not sure, but I think it was part of the Jefferson Highway at one time ;) :bigass:
Chicago, IL and Seattle, WA: I-90
Los Angeles, CA and Seattle, WA: I-5
Chicago, IL and Los Angeles, CA: US 66
:sombrero:
Quite a few now that I think of it...
San Francisco, CA and Williamsport (and State College), PA – I-80
(Yes, I know that I-80 doesn't enter either Williamsport or State College, but it does serve those communities, and at least Williamsport has an x80 spur and is used sporadically as a control city.)
Williamsport and State College, PA – US 220
Williamsport and Harrisburg, PA – US 15 (for all intents and purposes)
Harrisburg and Allentown, PA – US 22 (I-78, almost)
State College, Harrisburg, and West Chester, PA – US 322
West Chester and Allentown, PA – PA 100 (for all intents and purposes)
Allentown and Philadelphia, PA – PA 309, I-476 (for all intents and purposes)
Harrisburg and Philadelphia, PA – I-76
Greensboro, NC; Morganton, NC; Gibsonville, NC; Archdale, NC; Lewisville, NC: I-40/I-85, US 421
(Morganton and Greensboro is connected by I-40; Archdale and Greensboro is connected by I-85, and Gibsonville is connected to Greensboro via I-40/I-85 multiplex, and Lewisville, NC is connected to Greensboro via US 421. thus why I put all 5 different cities as all being connected via I-40 and I-85 and US 421)
Manassas, VA, Greensboro, NC: US 29
US 29 does run to the west of actual town... it meets the state route 234 at the Manassas Battlefield Park just north of I-66 interchange, which is a part of Manassas.
Indianapolis - Lafayette: I-65 / US-52
US 14 has dominated the last decade of my life. Chicago and two suburbs. Toss in one more if you count work.
US 1 dominated my early to mid 20s. Saco, Portland and all stops between.
US 20 has been an odd theme in my life too. I've lived and worked near it for much of my life. Particularly college (Rockford, IL). We'd occasionally joke about driving the whole length of US 20. I'm about 20% there.
The only case where that's happened to me is IL 38, which connects St. Charles (where I went to high school) and DeKalb, where I went to college. My parents get an honorable mention, as they live here in Papillion, NE, which goes within 5 miles of US 75, which goes through their old hometown of Luverne, MN (dad actually lived on US 75 for a time there, before he met mom).
None of the places I've lived are connected by the same highway.
I've lived in 4 places in Maryland (Baltimore City - Charles Village; Edgewood; Jarrettsville; Perry Hall) and 1 in Virginia (Lynchburg).
Three out of the four Maryland locations are on the north east side of the Baltimore metro area (Charles Village is smack in the middle of the city) but they aren't served by any of the same routes. Amusingly, if you ignore the names and route numbers on the highways, you'd get pretty close with the same stretch of road between Jarrettsville and Charles Village (MD 146 and MD 45). There are no turns required to transition from MD 146 to MD 45 (a roundabout connects them at 146's southern terminus).
Thanks to this thread, I realized that in 4 of the 5 different locations that I've lived.....Interstate 90 was less than 7 miles away.
Sandusky, OH and Norwalk, OH --- US 250
Norwalk, OH and Belvidere & Rockford, IL --- US 20* & I-90
*I've used US 20 to get to work in all three locations for almost 10 years. Crazy.
I-25 for Las Cruces and Albuquerque NM, and Pueblo CO. Actually I don't live in Pueblo but close enough. I also moved from metro L.A. to Las Cruces via I-10. There isn't a continuous route connecting my current location to Twin Cities MN, where I lived 25 years though.
Portland OR, Vancouver WA, Carlsbad CA, Orange CA,: I-5, I-205 (OR/WA)
Beaverton OR, Hillsboro OR, Portland OR: US-26, OR-8
Orange CA, Costa Mesa CA: CA-55
Costa Mesa CA, Long Beach CA: I-405
Not quite what the OP is asking about, but I've lived at 3 different addresses in the same town, and all were within 2 city blocks of Harrison Avenue.
One place was a motel, for 15 months. And yes, it was not a fun time at all. Motels are noisy, this one was old and run down, and the clientele was scary, although some of the others might have felt the same way about me. :wow:
San Diego CA and Idaho Falls ID - I-15
New London CT, Dumfries VA, and Fredericksburg VA - US 1
Fredericksburg, Charleston SC, and Tidewater VA area - US 17

I've moved from Winston-Salem, NC to Boone, NC, which is just a straight shot on U.S. 421.
Before that I moved from Cleveland, OH to Winston-Salem. The trip is all on I-77 until "I-74" splits off about an hour north of Winston.
I've lived in multiple places on both coasts, but the only pair that fits the thread is Seattle and Bellingham connected by I-5.
Jacksonville/Camp Lejeune, NC and Portsmouth, VA: US 17.
Cincinnati, OH and Portsmouth, OH (US 52)
Harrison, Greenbrier, Conway, and Pine Bluff, Arkansas - connected by US 65
Atkins, Russellville, and Conway, Arkansas - connected by US 64 (and I-40)
Not that I've been a worldly person...US-23, Ypsilanti & Petersburg, MI
Los Angeles and Phoenix which are connected by I-10.
Hamilton, Ohio; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Florence, KY: US 127
Cincinnati and Florence are also linked via I-71/I-75, US 42 and US 25
Hamilton and Cincinnati are also linked via OH SR 4 (US 27 technically doesn't enter the city of Hamilton itself but passes through the village of Ross, which also uses a Hamilton ZIP code -- so you could count that)
Harrison, Ohio and Hamilton: OH SR 128
Gordo, AL-Montgomery, AL, US82
Auburn, AL-Salisbury, NC, I85, US29
Haleyville, AL-Phil Campbell,AL, AL13
Not quite the same, but we took a camping trip to Yellowstone from Bend, and the campground we stayed at was on US-20 (right on it, near West Yellowstone, MT). As we left Bend two days earlier, yup, US-20. We didn't take 20 the whole way though, we used the interstates through Idaho, and took I-90 to US-395 to I-84 to US-97 on the way back. I don't think I've technically lived in two cities on the same highway, unless you count cities like Forest Grove, OR or Battle Ground, WA as being on I-5 (which they aren't). Or, if you count living in a hotel for 2 months in Eugene before moving permanently to Springfield (same situation in Pasco and West Richland), but those are neighboring cities, so that's boring.
EDIT: I thought of one. Yakima and Bend, both on US-97. I forgot, because I only lived in Yakima when I was very young. And while we're at it, Yakima and Pasco/West Richland are both on US-12 (and very near I-82).
