That's all off the top of my head.
US 271 in Oklahoma.
US 159 in Nebraska.
There are hundreds of examples of this, and this thread is going to go on forever.
US 136 in Nebraska. Also, in the 1920's, there was once a US 164 in Texas, which no longer exists. US 64, in a concurrency with US 56 and US 412, come so close into entering Texas, literally within inches, but do not actually enter. None of the three ever enter Texas.
EDIT: Could you please post links to the Topo maps you used, Stalin.
EB 56/64/412 enter Texas (the corner is near the centerline) but WB 56/64/412 do not enter Texas. This is according to topo maps of the area.
US 301 in Delaware
Many on http://www.usends.com/Admin/violations.html count. But US 101 is just Dale being anal.
US 219 enters New York, but US 19 doesn't.
In Michigan, it's US-127.
US 123 in South Carolina
US 258 in North Carolina
US 421 in Indiana.
US 119 and US 150 in Kentucky.
US 412 across several states in the South. Also US 425 in Louisiana and Arkansas.
I would think there's a zillion of these, given that there is no requirement for a 3dus to not act like a 2dus (unlike with interstates).
What IS the difference between a "mainline" and "spur" US route anyways?

US 421 in Indiana.
US 119 and US 150 in Kentucky.
Also US 421 in Kentucky.
West Virginia serves up US 220 in this category.
Louisiana has US 167, but US 67 never enters it.
Oklahoma has US 287, but US 87 doesn't enter it.
Not a true case, since AASHTO has US 87 passing through Colorado, but Colorado doesn't acknowledge the existence of US 87 officially within the state, so US 287 could also count there depending on who you go by.
Oh, and every state through which US 400, 412 and 425 pass.
Rover- You can add 212 to Wyoming.
Then there's 195 and 395 in Washington
Doing some research, I can add a couple more:
US 278 enters Arkansas, but US 78 does not
US 178 enters North Carolina, but US 78 does not

As well as MD, VA and NC.
US 209 enters PA, where US 9 has never existed.
And the entire US 163. US 63 has never entered UT nor AZ.
Couple more:
Both US 231 and 331 both enter Florida, but US 31 doesn't.
In fact, the previous US 331 also entered Florida, but its parent didn't.
US 441 cuts through North Carolina, but US 41 doesn't come anywhere near entering it.

US-163 is not a child of US-63; it's just an independent number chosen to upgrade UT-163.
US-491 exists in NM, CO, and UT. US-91 does not exist in NM and CO, and it is on the other side of the state in UT (even its old extended format was elsewhere). US-191, which is US-491's logical parent, does not enter CO or NM either.

US-12 was once in Wyoming... it ran where US-212 does now!
QuoteThen there's 195 and 395 in Washington
the end of US-195 at US-95 used to be in Washington, but a curve straightening moved it over the state line to Idaho.
I've never seen a state-named Washington US 95 - that would be one of the rarest shields out there.
One more I felt like looking up: US 218 enters Minnesota, but US 18 doesn't.

Not quite. US 163 replaced SR-47 (which continued to exist, unsigned, until 1977). SR-163 was created in 1986 on a new state highway.

US 522 and US 340 in Virginia. They also happen to join up for a handful of miles in and near Front Royal.
There is no US OAT in the Perkins Union, yet US GOAT doesn't cross from Alanland.
169 in MN runs almost 300 miles, where 69 barely runs for 10 miles. 69 should have taken over MN 13 and MN 21, and then the rest of 169.

The reasoning behind SR-163 in Utah was to extend US-163 east along what's now SR-162 and CO-41 to US-160 near Cortez, CO and west along US-160, AZ-98, US-89, US-89A, AZ-389, UT-59, and UT-9 to I-15 near Hurricane, UT. There was an earlier proposal that had US-163 going north with US-89 and west along UT-14 to Cedar City. I'm not entirely sure why UDOT didn't pursue a US-163 extension along SR-163, but it may have had something to do with then-SR-262 not being built or that the AASHTO designation wasn't changed to match up US-163 to SR-163 when it was. Not that it stopped UDOT from signing US-89A solely as SR-11 from about 1994-2011 or "ending" US-189 at US-40 in Heber City, but still.
And you think US-163 as originally concocted (Kayenta-Crescent Jct.) or even as it is now was bad...unless the plan was to renumber it upon making it east-west. In that case it should've been US-x60 or US-x64 IMO.

I-25 in New Mexico must be a sliver of Alanland, because U.S. 85 along it does and does not exist.

Actually, US 22 and US 40 cross the northern panhandle of WV. Their children cross the eastern panhandle.

The original number of that route qualifies as well. US 66 never entered Colorado or Utah.
Speaking of Colorado, add US 160 to the list. US 60 never entered Colorado.
And then there's US 321 and US 421 in Tennessee. Tangentially related, US 25E used to clip the westernmost tip of Virginia. Its parent, US 25, never entered Virginia.
i forgot that one about US 22 and US 40 both entering the other panhandle of WV. However, I just remembered that US 522 is in Maryland in which US 22 is not. Although US 522 is less than two miles in MD without even one single stoplight, it still enters it which many of us might overlook that one.
US 385 goes through Nebraska, while US 85 does not.

Used to have US 460

US 160
US 166*

US 275
US 123 in South Carolina, in which US 23 never enters.
US 129 in Tennessee, in which US 29 never enters.
US 158 in North Carolina, in which US 58 never enters. US 158 does not even meet its parent! It does connect to US 258.
US 206 in New Jersey, in which US 6 never enters. (Close by about 1/4 mile)
US 209 (and formerly US 309) in PA, in which US 9 never enters.
US 224 in PA, in which US 24 never enters.
Currently, US 311 in NC (until it is extended to VA), in which US 11 never enters.
US 421 in Indiana and Kentucky, in which US 21 never enters.
Arkansas has US 425 that has no parent. Also US 412 (again, no parent).
US 202 only goes through three of the states, New York, New Hampshire, and Maine, that its parent road, (US 2), also goes through.

US 400 is like US 101, both in their own mind are two digit routes, but using a third one for some odd reason.
