VA 76 used to be defined as having its east/northbound routing along State St in Bristol which would mean it was in Tennessee.  VA 10 used to do the same thing there.

Interestingly enough, I have also seen State Street denoted as TN 1.

Not sure if TN 1 is an eastbound-only route.

NH 153 is in Maine. Or the other way around. I forget how that one works. NY 17 is (soon to be was) the most well-known example.
You are correct, Steve. It is NH-153 entering Parsonsfield, ME. You were probably confused by the error ME-153 shield near its intersection with Hasty Road. (ME-153 is near Dover-Foxcroft, 133 miles away from Parsonsfield.)

Another example (most likely mentioned in the other thread) north of this is ME-113 entering Chatham and East Conway, NH. NH-113B in Chatham is related to ME-113 and both of its endpoints are in Maine, so, to sum it up, ME-113 enters NH, and NH-113B enters ME. ME-113 is close to NH-113, and many people get the two mixed up.

If I wanna get REAL technical, NHDOT's shapefiles show 0.017 mi of ME113 in NH before NH113B's north end. :spin:
In the field, signage & boundary marker are right at the junction, on the NH side.

In Ardmore, AL/TN, AL 53 straddles the state line (and so does TN 7 for a short distance): http://g.co/maps/btvqf

EDIT: the jog along TN 7 appears to be in Google Maps only. Other online maps show a straight border (as do Alabama County maps, such as at http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/historicalmaps/counties/limestone/limestone.html)

And on that note... I see there's NY120A mentioned in this thread. Just searched on the string "Texarkana" though, and found nothing. :)

Kurumi: Wow, is that little jog in the state line along TN7 at the railroad underpass for real?

Surprised Mapmikey didn't mention this, but there are about 30 Virginia state routes that keep the same route number when they cross the state line.  There are also 2 cases of state routes in adjacent states that become Virginia secondary routes of the same number.

There are also six state routes that keep the same number crossing the Minnesota/Iowa line.

No; looks like an error in Google Maps. I've updated the original post.

I believe now is a good time to mention QC 247, whose eastbound lanes enter Vermont just west of Derby Lane.

The only LA one I know of offhand from the Bayou State is LA 12/TX 12 and LA 82/TX 82.  A near miss with LA 25/MS 27

When I was randomly looking through my road atlas, I noticed that SR 440 is in both New York and New Jersey, as one single route.

Looking from the Wikipedia article, SR 426 does this as well, except with Penna.

I think the question is asking more specifically about a state route that retains its classification with one state, despite crossing a state line briefly (as opposed to a true multi-state route).

WV/VA 635 is one. The other?

(I never understood why WV felt the need to upgrade 635 to state primary status instead of it remaining a county route. It could have been CR 635 in the same way PA 857 becomes WV CR 857.)

NC/VA 903.

If WV 635 were CR 635, not only would it keep the same number across the border, it would keep the same shield shape.
