Most US designations terminate while the alignment is a local road or arterial. However some end as full freeways.
US 7's Southern terminus at Norwalk, CT is a freeway.
US 13's northern terminus at Morrisville, PA is a freeway.
US 15's northern terminus is one.
US 22 eastern terminus in Newark, NJ.
US 46 eastern terminus, Fort Lee, NJ.
US 101 has both terminuses in Los Angeles and Olympia, WA.
US 209 northern end in Kingston, NY.
US 219 northern end near Buffalo, NY.
US 301 northern end in Biddle's Corner, DE.
US 422 eastern end in Kingston of Prussia, PA
Any others?
US-10's eastern terminus at Bay City, MI
US 35's eastern terminus at Scott Depot, WV.
US 199 in Crescent City, CA.
* US 8's western terminus (https://goo.gl/maps/NNmGrTFpRX5BQQdu5) until MNDOT allows an intersection between I-35 and US 61.
* US 40's western terminus at I-80 in Utah (https://goo.gl/maps/TJvuc4Jmp1ozpkmK8) if willing to discount the lack of free-flowing movements for WB I-80 to EB US 40
* US 50's western terminus in Sacramento

Some of what the op listed (like US 22 in NJ at its eastern end is colored as an expressway on Google maps), so I'm assuming that expressways are allowed if the op lists one.

US 2 technically terminates one block beyond I-5 (at SR 529), but at that point is basically just a bunch of offramps coming off the Hewitt Avenue Trestle.
US 101 is a freeway at its termini in Olympia and Los Angeles
US 195 terminates in Spokane as a freeway
Quote from: Bruce on September 11, 2021, 12:51:41 PM
US 195 terminates in Spokane as a freeway
US 195 is an expressway at that point, since it has many at-grade intersections south of its terminus.
US-101 in Los Angeles terminates at the East LA Interchange as the Hollywood freeway connecting to the I-5 Santa Ana Freeway. Initially US-101 was supposed to terminate at the US-Mexico border in San Ysidro with Tijuana until the 1964 renumbering.
Western end of US-280 in Birmingham, AL at I-20/59. Part of the Red Mtn. Expressway with US-31.
US 80's western end - Dallas/Mesquite, TX
US 175's western end - Dallas, TX
US 75's southern end - Dallas, TX
Does US 40 in Utah count?
US 218's North end in Owatonna, MN is a freeway.
US-181 in Corpus Christi.
US-50 is freeway for roughly half its length through California. It starts in West Sacramento and is quickly concurrent with CA-99/I-80 Business Loop.
US 169 in Oklahoma.
US 59 in Laredo, I think. Is the 59 designation carried past 35? Or is it just I-69W at that point?

Unless you know something I don't, nothing of the sort is proposed.

Actually ends at the traffic circle at BYPASS US 1. Between that and a couple of private driveway RIROs on its easternmost half-mile, it isn't really a freeway at its terminus.
Quote220 north end
Not sure I'd include this one given the I-86/US 220 interchange is not freeway-to-freeway.

Heh, I held off until you commented in case you knew something I didn't. I gleaned Forest Lake's 2040 comprehensive plan and saw nothing of the sort, although it would have been strange anyway between proximity to two interchanges and MnDOT desperately wanting to control, not increase access on US 8 in general.

The other folks at Travelmapping think so....I would say yes.

Nothing in Washington County's plan, either. Nor does Chisago County's plan (they're lead on the US 8 study that extends to I-35) indicate it.

Others not yet mentioned:
- US 16's eastern terminus is concurrent with I-190 SD, so that one counts.
- US 36's eastern terminus at US 250.
- US 54's western terminus in El Paso.
US 223 in Ohio, unless we consider that it follows a ramp off US 23 to terminate at SR 51 and SR 184.
US 129's northern end in Knoxville, TN.
US 202's southern end may count, depending on your definition of freeway.
Unless I don't remember things properly, US 68's northern terminus in Ohio at I-75 counts.

Google Maps mark it as an expressway, but besides a single RIRO, I don't think there are any at-grade intersections on that part of US 68 between OH 15 and I-75.
And either way, this thread already have plenty of expressway examples, especially those that are just so close to being a freeway.

US 101 at that point is the northern continuation of the Santa Ana Freeway, up until the Four-Level at 110. And pretty much 99% of I-5 between there and San Ysidro was indeed built as either US 101 or as concurrent US 101/I-5, with the concurrency being gradually removed in northern San Diego County and southern Orange County ca. 1968.

US-50 is freeway for roughly half its length through California. It starts in West Sacramento and is quickly concurrent with CA-99/I-80 Business Loop.
As of 2016, other than some stray onramp signage in West Sacramento, none of US 50 is concurrent now with Business 80 (which only now applies to the Route 51/former US 99E segment).
US-29's northern end in Ellicott City, MD, at a T-intersection with MD-99. This is less than a half mile past the (almost) freeway-to-freeway interchange with I-70. Why "almost"? NB 28 does have a signalized left turn to get on to WB 70. Not sure if that's enough to undermine the "terminate as freeway" status, but does anyone know what that left turn is there for in the first place? That same movement is covered by a perfectly good loop ramp.
It should be noted that both of US 101's southern termini qualify :bigass:

Assuming that US 50 ended at US 101 in SF the same way I-80 does now, same could be said about both of US 50's western terminus.

Correct. In fact, when US 50 (along the San Francisco Skyway) ended at the Central and Bayshore Freeway alignments of US 101, it did so with US 40 - so 40 also fits as having freeway segments for its two most recent western termini.
US 40 and US 50 only have one western terminus each, and the eastern terminus is not a freeway for either one.

Two reasons that I can think of: first that loop ramp could backup due to volume since most drivers go onto I-70 E at that point and the slow speed you have to take on that ramp. Also it's easier to merge on I-70 E using the left turn since that ramp has no loop and it has a longer acceleration section.

US 50's previous western terminus was US 101; since 1964 it has had two different termini at I-80 (in Oak Park, Sacramento and now in West Sacramento) - all of which were freeway-to-freeway junctions.
US 40's previous western terminus was US 101 in SF; now I-80 in Park City, also both freeway junctions.
I was under the assumption that the "US 101 southern terminus" post referred to US 101's old San Ysidro terminus as well as the current East Los Angeles one, though I can see the semantics for that referring to Olympia.
US 54 western/southern terminus at SH 375.

Yes, I assume he was referring to US-101's "northern" terminus being farther south than its northernmost extent. But in either instance, it's still correct, whether San Ysidro or Olympia, it's a freeway-to-freeway connection.
Depending on where it gets truncated to, US 271 may end up ending as a freeway on the north end.
