Until the invention of US 48, West Virginia only had one US route terminus within its border, that being US 35.
Which states have the fewest and most US route ends?
Not counting 1A, Rhode Island has 0 termini. (Should 1A count?)
Nevada has no US route termini within its borders.
For the most US Route termini, Florida instantly comes to mind. Idk for certain if it has the most, for I did no research, but I have thought about how FL has a lot of US Highway termini.
Off the top of my head for NJ: US 22, US 322, US 30, US 130, US 40, US 46 and US 206 all have termini within the Garden State. That's actually quite a lot.
I believe Texas may have more termini than Florida.
13 US Highways terminate in Michigan: US 2, US 8, US 10, US 12, US 23, US 24, US 31, US 41, US 45, US 127, US 131, US 141, and US 223. Previously, Michigan also had the termini of another 6 highways: US 16, US 25, US 27, US 33, US 102, and US 112.
Rhode Island and Nevada have no terminuses for US routes.
Florida has 18 with two of them having both ends within the state giving a total of 20 and no transiting routes at all.
Texas may have more, but many transit the state including three of them that enter the state twice.
This post is similar to the one I posted about most US concurrencies, and it would take a few moments to count them all as well.
Wouldn't a ratio comparing the number of termini to the number of US routes in the state work better for smaller states when searching for who has the most? Delaware comes to mind as having a fair share of its US routes end within the boundaries.
We have six total routes: 13, 40, 202, 301, 113, and 9.
Four of those six, 202, 301, 113, and 9, end within the state.
Two thirds of our US routes end within the state. How do other states compare when you look at it this way?
Then Georgia you would have just four less (three if you count US 341 twice being its intrastate) the amount of terminuses than total transit for its amount of US routes per capita. Almost all of its routes transit it completely.
US 1, US 11, US 17, US 19, US 23, US 27, US 29, US 41, US 76, US 78, US 129, US 221, US 441, US 278.
Those that terminate in GA are US 80, US 82, US 84, US 25, US 280, US 341, US 123, US 378, US 319, US 411
I think this is probably one state that has it almost closest to about the same.

Every one of Michigan's US highways end in the state (if you count US-2 as "ending").

interesting for a state that isn't a corner. California has all its US routes end in the state (with the possible exception of 395, which both transits and ends, as it has two segments), as do Maine, Florida, and Washington - that last one being possible only because US-95 no longer enters Washington from Idaho for about half a mile.

US 2, US 4, US 9W, US 11, US 15, US 44, US 62, US 209, and US 219 all have termini in New York, so I think it beats New Jersey, even though it's a much larger state.

Actually US 411 does not terminate in GA. It runs from Leeds, AL (near Birmingham), to Newport, TN (a little east of Knoxville), but it does cross through northwest GA.
But I actually didn't realize that many US Highways terminated in Georgia, but it makes sense, lol.
I forgot about NJ only having two US routes transit it, but considering all the rest terminating there it has more routes ratio wise terminating over non terminating.

Given that the US is not a perfect rectangle like Colorado or Wyoming, I'd say Michigan is in fact on a corner, which is why it has this property. Canada is to it's north and east, so neither N/S routes or E/W routes can run through.
Texas: 54, 57 (both ends), 59, 62, 67, 69, 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 83, 85, 87, 90, 96 (both ends), 175 (both ends), 180, 181 (both ends), 183, 190, 259, 271, 277, 281, 283, 285, 287, 290 (both ends), 377, 380, 385.
Only ones that exist in Texas that don't have a terminus here are 60, 70, 71, 82, and 84.
I think we win.

You forgot US 95 which enters from Nevada north of Needles and exits concurrent with I-10 into southern Arizona.

True, although it just makes it into the state. Then again, the same thing could be said about US 2.

Georgia seems to have one US route every 20 miles somewhere in the state. In fact state route designations seem like secondary routes because of this.
West end US-6, West End US-50 and South End US-101 in California.
US-91, US-40, US-60, US-70, US-66 and US-99 used to have termini in California.
Quote from: hbelkins on September 30, 2014, 04:01:30 PM
Which states have the fewest and most US route ends?
For current endpoints, looks like TX has 37. Runners-up are NC (22), FL (21), and VA (20).
Caveat: need to define whether common endpoints (like US 77-83) count as one or two.If we look at current
and historic endpoints, TX has had at least 96. Runners-up are NC (77) and PA (71).
Caveat: those numbers are always changing, as more historic maps/documents/resources become accessible. To wit: my total count of historic endpoints has increased by 40 over the past year or so, primarily because of research by NE2 and Mapmikey. But I doubt the numbers will ever change enough to depose TX from first place.
Now who has the least excluding both Rhode Island and Nevada being they have none. Are there any contending states that have less than ten?
CT only has 2 (5,7), MA has 3 (3, 6, 20), NH has 2 (3, 4) VT has 3 (5, 7, 302), ME has 5 (1, 2, 201 [intrastate], 202, 302)

Maryland has 5 total out of its 14 current routes: US 29, US 50, US 113, US 222, and US 340.
It previously had 6 others: US 48, US 111, US 140, US 213, US 240, and US 301. (US 301 used to terminate in Baltimore before the Bay Bridge was built - now it crosses and heads northeast to Delaware.)

I show 4 in MA (44), and because of 201 I would say there are 6 in ME.
Most US highways simply pass through Illinois. Only the following actually terminate here:
14, 34, 54, and 150. A measly four out of a total of 19 that are in the state. 4/19 = 21%.
Historical ones that terminated here include: 32, 66, and 124.
Louisiana has a total of 16 US highways (11, 51, 61, 63, 65, 71, 79, 80, 84, 90, 165, 167, 171, 190, 371, 425)
11 of them have 1 or both endpoints here (all but 79, 80, 84, 90 and 425)
so 11/16...69%
That is cause Louisiana is along the southern end of the country with no states south of it. Most N-S have to end someplace. True US 79 is N-S, but it is also diagonal, but nonetheless any coastal or border states will have a lot of ends except Rhode Island which has only 3 transit routes to begin with and not even a 3 digit route.
In the 13th state you have a south coast and land locked on the other three sides, but its only N-S route US 1 makes a curve inside the state to follow the general east coast which from Cape Cod to New Jersey runs E-W, but US 1 overall, as we know, is the long distance east coast US route for all.
Alabama (7): 31, 43, 45, 280, 331, 411, 431
Stumbled upon this thread when trying to search for another one, seems like no one mentioned Ohio so far.
Looks like there are 8 US routes with an endpoint in Ohio (22, 36, 42, 68, 223, 250, 322, 422), 9 if former US 21 is included. However, 3 of those routes (42, 322, 422, former US 21) terminate in Cleveland's Public Square, so there are only 6 places of US route endpoints.
MN has a good "kill" to "survive" ratio for its US routes, with 8, 53, 59, 61, 65, 69, 71, 75, 169, and 212 ending here, as well as historically 77, 210, and the original 371 formerly ending in MN.

It's a shame that in both Washington and California that the few highways left terminating there have none in the big cities of San Diego and Seattle. Both cities have no US routes at left at all.
You figure the big population centers on the Coast would have them, but the interstates replaced them as the west coast don't like redundancy of interstate and US routes together.

West coast except the states on US 30's corridor somehow
If OR, ID and WY were like CA, WA or NV being trigger happy truncating US routes, US 30's western terminus would be somewhere in Nebraska.

They did eliminate US 830 though, but that was only in WA if I'm not mistaken hence why US 730 still exists.
Yes Portland at least has two US routes and both go to the coast to end at US 101. Though US 26 was only truncated to have a useless concurrency with US 101, it still ends at the Ocean and transits Portland.

Basically, the only US highways that "naturally" terminate in Montana is US 310 and the north termini of US 287. The other termini are due to the US/Canada border or Yellowstone.

California killed the E-W routes like US 60 and 70 that once passed through. US 80 and 66 is are both iffy as both NM and TX also decommissioned those routes that once transited it. More for US 66 as more states went along.

Yes, US 91 on the former pass through list. US 89A is kind of an odd circumstance given it wasn't clear if it existed in Utah for awhile. Also, US 66 was on the pass through list (which is why I probably shouldn't try write summaries at work).
Off the top of my head, only US 2 and US 12 pass through North Dakota without ending. That's just 2/8, but only US 10 terminates at some place that isn't the border with Canada.
US 66 briefly ended in Sanders, AZ.
US 70 originally ended in Holbrook.

For WA, there are long sections where US 99 and US 10 were simply twinned and turned into I-5 and I-90, so there would have to be concurrencies that break the state's soft rules on them. US 2 does end in Everett, which is a major city in its own right.

NY: 11, 9, 2, 4, 62, 219, 15 (plus 9W and 20A which really should be state routes) all end here. US 220 comes stupidly close, but its official end is in Pennsylvania just short of the state line (though some signs seem to show it entering New York).

US-220 officially existed (barely) in NY until 2017, when it was truncated back into PA. (https://www.usends.com/waverly.html)
Of current US routes in Kansas, the following have one terminus in the state: US 73, US 159, US 166, US 177, and US 270, for a total of five.
Terminates one end in CO
- US 24
- US 34
- US 36
- US 38
- US 84
- US 138
- US 164
- US 285
- US 400
- US 450
- US 550
Terminates both ends in COPasses through
- US 6
- US 40
- US 50
- US 85
- US 87
- US 160
- US 287
- US 385
- US 491
- US 666
Roughly half of the US Highways that enter CO terminate there, primarily due to how hard it is to throw a route over them mountains.

US 550 ends in New Mexico.
As far as I know, the only US highway terminus in Missouri - at least, the only one I definitely know about - is barely an example: namely, US 166/400, which begins/ends at Exit 1 on I-44, near the Missouri/Kansas/Oklahoma tripoint between Joplin and Baxter Springs.
Well, there's also US 159 in the northwest corner of the state - but I'm not as sure about that one.

US 166, US 400, and US 159 are solid. In addition, there are also US 56, US 160, and US 275, for a total of six.
Agreed that Wisconsin has relatively few current US highway ends.

Why hadn't I thought of US 56? It's right here in my city - kicking myself for that.
Anyway, it stands to reason that Missouri would have relatively few US route termini - it's right in the middle of the country, after all.

US routes that come into a state "just to die" (like US 56, US 166, US 400, and US 275 for Missouri, and US 177 and US 270 for Kansas) can be hard to catch. In this regard, it helps that Wikipedia has articles that list the US routes for each state--any route that does not terminate only at itself at the state line is generally one that has at least one end within the state concerned.
Answering for Nebraska (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._Highways_in_Nebraska) (current routes only): US 26, US 73, US 136, US 138, US 275, and US 283, for a total of six.

Actually, I suspect states within the middle of the country tend to have large numbers of route termini simply because the density of the US route network drops with long-term precipitation averages as you go from east to west. (Rainfall drove settlement back when the frontier was still open and most Americans lived on farms; the US highways had their origin in a seven-percent system oriented at improving mobility in rural areas.) And even if you exclude US routes that terminate at the border if each route continues into the neighboring country, border states will still have an artificially high number of US route termini simply because it is far more resource-intensive to maintain a crossing at an international boundary than it is at a state line within the US, because of the need to provide customs and immigration facilities.
An interesting question to ask might be which states punch above their weight in terms of US route termini per head of resident population, with separate divisions for border and inland states.

Formerly US 460 for MO too I think (thought it got replaced by I-64 west of Louisville). Unless it terminated at the state line and doesn't actually enter St Louis, like how US 25 currently does at OH-KY.

Virginia has *a lot* of these:
US 11W (north end, if this counts, VDOT considers this a US 11 TRUCK)
US 11E (north end, if this counts, VDOT considers this US 11)
US 17 (north end)
US 21 (north end)
US 33 (east/south end)
US 48 (east end)
US 58 (east end)
US 60 (east end)
US 211 (both ends, intrastate)
US 219 (south end)
US 221 (north end)
US 250 (east/south end)
US 258 (north end)
US 311 (north end)
US 340 (west end, though it enters Virginia twice)
US 360 (both ends, intrastate)
US 460 (east end, though it enters Virginia twice)
US 501 (north end)
US 522 (south end)
US 1, US 11 (technically speaking if you don't count US 11E), US 13, US 17, US 19, US 23, US 29, US 50, US 52, US 220, and US 421 pass through Virginia without ending.

If we're gonna be pedantic, then US 19E and 19W south :awesomeface:
You forgot US 311. And highways that just pass through are:
US 1
US 15
US 17
US 19 (though the 19W and 19E make this a little weird)
US 21
US 23
US 25
US 29
US 52
US 129
US 221
US 301
US 321
US 441
US 501
Therefore 19/34 NC US highways end in the state (Ignoring the case of US 19W and E and just counting it as one highway), or 55.9%. Honestly pretty good.
And you know, I never realized that NC actually has a lot of US highways.
