As the title would indicate, these are highways in which its entire lies within one city. I'm looking at a city inset of Little Rock and I-630 is entirely within the state capitol. There's also Arkansas 300, but I don't know if that's its entire route. California state highways 15 and 52 are entirely within San Diego. I'll also include 163, despite it crossing federal property at the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station, but even that is within the San Diego city limits.
While not within the criteria, I-55's entire run through Tennessee is within the Memphis city limits.
Are such highways like these rather rare?

I don't think so. I can give at least three more right off the bat.
I-579 Pittsburgh, PA
I-277 Charlotte, NC
I-295 Jacksonville, FL
Sticking with Interstates and US routes (too many state highways to list) and excluding business routes, of course, I can think of a few off the top of my head
I-705- Tacoma WA
I-180- Cheyenne WY
I-405- Portland OR (I'm pretty sure 405 never leaves Portland)
Notably, I-184 in Boise is not entirely located in Boise. It begins and ends in Boise, but clips a small chunk of Garden City before re-entering Boise just before its eastern terminus at 20/26
Here are a few I came up with:
I-440, TN 45, 155, 254, 255 Nashville, TN
I-275, I-640 Knoxville, TN
I-124 (Hidden) Chattanooga, TN
I-240 Memphis
I-264 Louisville
I-265 Louisville (until it gets connected to the Indiana section)
I-380 San Bruno, California
future I-905 in the San Ysidro/Otay Mesa areas of San Diego
I-980 Oakland
several NYC examples (I-478, I-695, I-295, I-895, I-678)
I-295 Jacksonville

...
Are such highways like these rather rare?
The nature of Auxiliary Interstates, Interstate/U.S. highway business loops, and other special routes make these types of routes rather common.
So putting 3di's and bannered routes aside, how common is this?
In Nevada, practically any 500 or 600 series state route is an urban route, and generally serves one particular urban area. Many of these are within a single city's borders. However, there's several routes in the primary (100s-400s) and state aid (700s-800s) levels that are short and only exist within the city limits of some of the smaller rural cities.
California state routes within a single city, beyond the aforementioned 15, 163, and 52 (the latter of which will extend into Santee at Route 67 in a few years) -
Route 51 segment of Business 80 - Sacramento (the city limits get strange north of the river but Route 51 remains within them)
Route 56 - San Diego
Route 77 - Oakland
Route 87 - San Jose
Route 103 - Long Beach
unsigned Route 112 - San Leandro
Route 144 - Santa Barbara
Route 153 - Coloma
Route 170 - Los Angeles
Route 187 - Los Angeles
Route 225 - Santa Barbara
Route 242 - Concord
unsigned Route 244 - Sacramento
Route 259 - San Bernardino
Route 262 - Fremont
Route 265 - Weed
Route 282 - Coronado
former Route 480 - San Francisco
Route 905 (the future interstate) - San Diego (San Ysidro/Otay Mesa)

I'm pretty sure of this too :colorful:
OR 120 is the only one I can think of offhand.
Maybe OR 104 and 104S.
I think OR 18S barely skips out of McMinnville where it meets OR 18.

AR 300 has 2 segments, but neither one is entirely in one town.
There are numerous short segments of Arkansas highways that serve as Spurs to area industry.
AR 400 (not posted) only serves Lake Fort Smith State Park.

Well, since they are numberable, I'll include the Utah Interstate business loops (which have their own number, and are signed):
UT-34--St. George (I-15)
UT-274--Parowan (I-15)
UT-160--Beaver (I-15)

UT-55--Price (US-6/191)
UT-58--Wendover, UT (I-80)
FWIW, UT-201, while not being in one city, is entirely within Salt Lake County, which has a single mayor. You also have UT-8, entirely within St. George.
WYO-231 is also entirely within Cokeville, WY.

Looking at my Indiana map:
IN-134: Only one in Indianapolis, a spur route connecting the Indiana Girls School with US 136
IN-149: Burns Harbor
IN-249: Portage, connecting with the Port of Indiana
IN-152: In Hammond, connecting US 20 to the Borman Expressway
IN-212: Michigan City, connecting US 12 with US 20/35
IN-441: Vincennes, connecting US 41 with Downtown Vincennes
IN-662: Newburgh, outside of Evansville
IN-357: Oakland City
For Missouri:
* A few lettered routes, such as Rte H in St. Louis City and Rte N in De Soto.
* MO 752 and MO 759 in St. Joesph?
* MO 740 in Columbia
* MO 755, if built, would have never left St. Louis City
* MO 765 in Sedalia
Probably the most obvious example of this would be DC 295. :sombrero:
Nebraska doesn't have very many of these. There seems to be a general rule that numbered routes should not exist solely within the city limits of one city. NE 38 in Omaha was decommissioned for this reason. The only Nebraska highways that exist solely within the city limits of one city are:
I-180 in Lincoln
Spur 1C in Hastings
Link 28K in Omaha
Link 55W in Lincoln
Link 55X in Lincoln
Link 56G in North Platte
The Nebraska portions of I-480 and I-680 only exist in Omaha, but since they also go into Iowa, I don't count them.

I-278 in NY isn't even that long, but it's about as long as you'll get for a single route (excluding the NJ part) for the Northeast US. It's around 33 miles. The entire Belt Parkway (including the Cross Island) is around 35 miles.
I-444. I-244 might qualify, but it's hard to tell if it leaves the Tulsa city limits at its west end.
As far as state highways are concerned:
I can think of one in Idaho (as I mentioned before, I-184 enters Garden City briefly)
SH 128- Lewiston

Wyoming (unsigned routes not included- many unsigned routes with state highwayish inventory control numbers like 333, maybe 337 are locally maintained, but some are state maintained (14, 74), so best not to worry about those). Given how many pointless highways there are, it is surprising how few stay within one city- may be due to a lack of cities

What about Link 17J in Sidney? I don't know the exact boundaries in that area- only that when you get off the freeway you're at Cabela's and surrounding stuff, which I assume is in Sidney, and then the route heads toward downtown- I guess it could conceivably leave Sidney around the northern terminus.
Then I'd bet there's several short short links not worth mentioning like 10E in Elm Creek

You're correct-Link 17J is entirely within the city limits of Sidney. I forgot to check that one because mentally I always think of that exit as being US 385. Link 10E comes a mere .02 miles from being entirely within the city limits of Elm Creek. I did find a couple of other very short links that are entirely within the city limits of one city. Link 28H in Omaha, which is the short connector from I-680 Exit 13 to US 75, and Link 24D, which is a short connector at the intersection of US 30 and NE 47 in Gothenburg.

M-212 is entirely in Aloha Township in Cheboygan County, if that counts for a single-municipality highway. The unsigned BS I-375 is also entirely within Detroit. BS I-75 in Sault Ste. Marie is only in the city, but as stated, most business loops in Michigan cross municipal lines. The only other one that comes to mind is BUS US 2 in Ironwood. From what I saw on control section maps, M-108 crosses outside of the Village of Mackinaw City. If it's all in the village, it would still be in two counties though.
I-490 only exists in Cleveland, OH.
I-790 is entirely in Utica, NY.
I-190 is located entirely in Rapid City, SD.
Interesting reading, this thread. There no highways in Illinois that exist only within the municipal boundaries of one municipality. Not a single one. All the business loops even cross municipal boundaries. And for those who are asking, I-190 goes through Rosemont between the Kennedy (Chicago) and O'Hare (Chicago).

Yes, it would be a long thread. Some states like Kentucky would have lists a mile and a half long. Others, like Illinois, would have a very short list. And then don't get me started on Hawai'i's routes. :-o
All of them, right? :P Someone should start that thread just for kicks.
I can only think of DC Rt. 295 which exists entirely in DC. Districts do count, right?
Although, thinking about it, all of Oahu's routes are technically viable for this thread. They all exist in the
City and County of Honolulu.
Thanks to the Hawai`i comment, I now have another idea. How about routes that exist in NO cities at all? That is to say, the entire route lies in unincorporated land and never crosses any boundaries except county lines. I'm sure there are plenty out in the Western deserts.

First one that came to mind was Route 177 in Riverside County - from I-10 in unincorporated Desert Center to Route 62 in unincorporated Rice.
Another one - not sure if it still exists, though Google Street View suggests it does - is the short remnant of Route 195 on the north shore of the Salton Sea; this was true even when the route went up Box Canyon Road to Interstate 10 at today's exit 168.

There are a couple of very tiny state highways in the Devil's Lake S.P. area just south of Baraboo, WI that enter no incorporated city or village. There might also be one or two more in the far northern part of the state.

There are tons of them in OK.

Oh 288 in North Central Ohio. It doesn't even cross a county line.
Oh 282 between US 422 and 305, in Northeast Ohio, crosses the Geauga-Portage line (and Nelson Kennedy State Park), but no towns*
* - It used to run further south to Garettsville, but was scaled back in the 1960s.
Oh 746 in Central Ohio. It does cross the Morrow-Marion Co. line. But I'd classify it as a maybe. I don't recall if the Calidonia city limits cross over Oh 309 or not.
Oh 657 in Central Ohio. It goes through several unincorporated communities in Licking Co. The northern reaches of Newark may clip 657's southern terminous.
(to be continued)
Does I-215 (NV) enter any incorporated municipality?
Also, how many of the surface street state highways in the Las Vegas, NV area do not enter any incorporated municipality?
Mike
NC has two I can think of right off the bat:
NC 400 --Basically a couple of blocks in the town of Manteo
NC 610 --All in southern High Point

Many in Ohio, including:
SR 358 In Ottawa County. (Connects SR 2 & US 6)
SR 523 In Sandusky County. (Connects SR's 19 & 53)
SR 778 & SR 228 In Sandusky County. (Both connect SRs 19 & 101)

All Michigan highways would be in incorporated land. All of MI is incorporated into either cities, villages or townships.

Townships in Michigan are considered to be unincorporated. The only municipal corporations Michigan has are cities and villages; the only difference between those are that villages are part of whichever townships they happen to lie while cities are not.
The two halves of MS 607 would fall under this new category. I'm pretty sure there are several other Mississippi routes that also qualify (like MS 854).
Would have to do some research into which placenames in Virginia are actually incorporated towns before I could make any guesses there.
There's only a very few in Minnesota, since the vast majority of the smaller state routes that you'd otherwise think would qualify were created to link INCORPORATED cities (in Minnesota, *EVERY* incorporated town is officially a city, even Tenney, population 4) to the state highway system. Amongst the few I can think of offhand that qualify as not going into any incorporated place are 117, 286, 308, and 317.
Steve: how would you classify the New England "Towns" here (i.e. NH, VT, MA, etc)? Incorporated? Unincorporated?

Then there are the charter townships which are different from regular townships.

Note how I snipped the part where you asked Steve specifically. ;)
Incorporated.
Here in Maine, we have Cities and Towns - I wanna say towns are roughly similar to Boroughs in Pennsylvania?
Unincorporated areas are Townships - even the occasional Grant, which you'll see listed in the shapefiles as, say, "North Yarmouth Academy Grant Twp".
We also have these weird little halfway-in-between entities called Plantations. Organized-but-not-incorporated, or something? I still don't really understand how they differ from, say, towns. But they exist.
NH seems to have a lot of Grants and Locations. But I don't really have any knowledge of how their minor civil divisions work.
