I-95 for Middlesex County, CT and MA?

I am sure there are plenty of others, even town/city combos as opposed to counties, but none I can further guess off the top of my head.

No longer the case due to truncation, but US-211 used to serve both Washington DC and Washington, Virginia, the latter more commonly known as "Little Washington" due to the five-star restaurant and inn of that name located there. The mileage signs on 211 still say "Washington VA" to distinguish from the more-famous city.

US-17 serves Jacksonville in both Florida and North Carolina.

I was looking for instances like US 23 going through another city named Clayton. I'll accept this criteria, as long as the city is not in the county of the same name, like Greenville (Greenville County) and Charleston (Charleston County), both in South Carolina. I'm also disallowing St. Louis/St. Louis County and Baltimore/Baltimore County, though the two cities are independent of the counties sharing their names.

Atlanta, TX is a considerable amount of distance away from I-20, which is why I didn't list them. Same reason I didn't mention Dallas, TX and GA because Dallas, GA is about 15-20 miles from I-20.

Given that New Brunswick, NJ is near where I-95 would have turned off the Turnpike to head towards the Somerset Freeway, you could say that at one time the northern section went from New Brunswick to New Brunswick.

Damn, I thought of this but did not because the interchange is in East Brunswick, but lo and behold the Turnpike does cut off a little snippet of New Brunswick itself, so you are indeed right.

Edit: 294 used to reach Indiana a long time ago, when the Tri-State Expressway name extended onto what is now the Borman. It doesn't anymore. Oops!

Two kinda-sorta examples

I-70 serves, or at least it did in I-70S days, Washington, DC and Washington, PA.  The latter is the only example I know of where a BGS lists the city and state while in the same state, presumably to avoid confusion.

I-95 serves both New Brunswick, NJ, and New Brunswick, the Canadian maritime province.

US 11 serves both Knoxville, Alabama and Knoxville, Tennessee.

I-65 has exits for Nashville, Tennessee and Nashville, Indiana, although Nashville, Indiana is about the same distance from future I-69 as it is I-65.

To me the really strange sight on I-65 is seeing the exit for the I-24 split signed "Louisville/Clarksville" in Tennessee when Louisville, Kentucky and Clarksville, Indiana are only a few miles apart.

And yet Indiana doesn't do the #fail that Illinois does by putting the state name after its Nashville exit. Anyone who might get confused by the Nashville, Ill. exit on I-64 and think they were going to Tennessee is too dumb to be driving.

I can kind of understand Illinois doing that because I-24 does go to Nashville TN.  I forget how far it is to I-24 from there, but I know it's less than 100 miles.  If I-24 is ever extended northwest, it would be a necessary distinction.

I wouldn't say that US 1 is "far away" from I-95 until south of Richmond when it goes in-land and I-95 stays a little closer to the coast. Even I-95 itself barely goes through Delaware.

I mean Michigan, Noel. I don't think there is a Niles, IN.

Niles, MI is just over the state line from South Bend, IN. I-80 on the Indiana Toll Road (concurrent with I-90) serves Niles. Here's a sign on the ITR near exit 77: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.722335,-86.2727372,3a,75y,90h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sFgvs-jpQL-Zk_hgg4hNkRA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.722335,-86.2727372,3a,75y,90h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sFgvs-jpQL-Zk_hgg4hNkRA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656)

I didn't know that sign even existed!  Interesting they didn't include a state since it's not in Indiana.  Probably because I-80/90 run so close to the Michigan border that you can almost spit it them in some locations.

I-75 in Covington, KY already has Dayton, OH listed on the pull-through signs.  Yet it's only a few miles from Dayton, KY.  (I thought I once saw a BGS listing the Kentucky city by that name in the SB direction, but I'm not sure.  NB, of course, would only cause confusion.)  Also, many miles south of there, I-75 has an exit serving Dayton, TN, best known for the Scopes Monkey Trial.

Also, I-75 has an exit for Covington, OH.

I-70 has an exit for Baltimore, OH, just east of Columbus.  The same highway begins/ends in Baltimore, MD, technically at the city limits, I think, due to its truncation (and might even be further away eventually, if the local-traffic section inside the beltway is ever downgraded.)

I'm also disallowing St. Louis/St. Louis County and Baltimore/Baltimore County, though the two cities are independent of the counties sharing their names.


But that's not consistent with allowing Kansas City KS and MO, etc

I-70 serves, or at least it did in I-70S days, Washington, DC and Washington, PA.


This probably belongs in Fictional but I think it would have been better to have I-70 go to Washington and I-270 go to Baltimore.

Why wouldn't it be? Kansas City KS and MO are two separate municipalities with the same name. Kansas City KS's government is also the government of Wyandotte County, but there are cities (like Edwardsville) in Wyandotte County that are not part of the unified government.

You're agreeing with me. OP said he wouldn't count St Louis and St Louis County as separate locales despite them actually being separate governments. But he named Bristol VA/TN and Texarkana AR/TX in the first comment. Which seems inconsistent to me.

US 50 goes through Johnson County, KS, and Johnson County, MO, only separated by Jackson County, MO.

Also, this might be a stretch since it doesn't really go through either of these cities, but I-40 has exits for both Las Vegas, NM, (US 84) and Las Vegas, NV (US 95).
