US 11 enters and leaves Syracuse on Salina Street, but leaves Salinas in between for State Street.
Are there any other instances where a route enters and leaves a city on one named street, yet does not follow the street all the way through? One way pairs do not count, as one half of the route is completely on the route.
US 41 enters and leaves Hammond on Indianapolis Blvd, but runs on Calumet Ave and I-80/94 in between.
US 40 enters and leaves Indianapolis on Washington St, but runs on I-465 in between.
US 23 enters Columbus on High St, switches to the 3rd and 4th St pair in Downtown and is like that to Hudson St, then goes north on Indianola Ave before turning west onto Morse Rd and back north onto High St for the rest of the way north in the city.
There a number of places where the old bypass is now inside the city limits. Lexington, Virginia is one example. US-11 enters and leaves on Lee Highway, but is routed on the US 11 Bypass. Interestingly, the old route through town is named Main Street starting at the US-11 Bypass on both ends. I thought there was a separate highway name for the bypass, but I can't find it.

Here's a quirky one, also on the Lee Highway. US-11 enters and leaves Marion, Virginia on the Lee Highway. From the south, the name then changes to South Main Street. From the north, the name changes to North Main Street. These are not the road. As you get closer to downtown from the southwest, South Main Street veers slightly onto West Main Street (which paralleled South Main Street for four odd blocks). South Main Street appears to be an old cutoff of a zig-zag from West Main Street.
Continuing northbound, the name (not surprisingly) changes to East Main Street crossing through the middle of town and then turns left (at a diagonal) onto North Main Street (which is a newer bypass of US-11 northeast of Marion). East Main Street continues for six odd blocks before ending at Locust Street. Can't be sure, but it looks like East Main Street, Stage Street and Highland Drive all line up along the former route of the Lee Highway. But none of these roads make it down to the Middle Fork Holston River and the old Norfolk & Western mainline.
US-377/SH-99 in Ada, Oklahoma enters the city on the J.A. Richardson Loop freeway, dives off onto surface streets (Cradduck Road, Mississippi Avenue, and Lonnie Abbott Boulevard), then rejoins the freeway to exit the city. The freeway is covered in its entirety by SH-3/SH-3E and SH-1 for part of the way.
I don't get why US-377 isn't realigned to stay on the freeway. If they really want the city streets in Ada under state maintenance, they could always leave SH-99 there, or move it too and just leave SH-1 on Lonnie Abbott and make Mississippi/Cradduck SH-1A.
