As Mapmikey noted, only in the Independent Cities.

Some of the Towns absolutely maintain U.S.-signed routes.

Three towns that immediately come to my mind are:

U.S. 15 [bypass] and Business U.S. 15 - both maintained by the Town of Leesburg [Loudoun County] within its corporate limits;
U.S. 17 and U.S. 360 within the Town of Tappahannock [Essex County]; and
U.S. 211 (and short sections of 15, 29 and 17, along with an assortment of business routes) are maintained  by the Town of Warrenton [Fauquier County].

There are others, but these came to my mind immediately.

Only north of SR 7 east (the SR 7 part of the bypass is state maintained): http://www.virginiadot.org/info/resources/Traffic_2013/AADT_053_Loudoun_2013.pdf

As far as I know, all state highways in both Arkansas and Oklahoma are state maintained.

Last I checked, every mile of US route in Washington DC is maintained by a municipal DOT. :bigass:

I've seen signs on US 64 & US 271 where the towns maintain their section of highway. Roland, Pocola, and Poteau IIRC.

Where? I've seen signs that say something about "roadside maintenance" which refers to mowing the sides of the road but I've never seen any signs that say that a certain highway is city maintained.

When I get that way I will get a pic to verify. You're more than likely correct.

There are definitely no signs on US 59 in either direction indicating this.

According to the link you posted above, 0.26 miles of U.S. 15/U.S. 29 (labelled as the "EASTERN BYPASS" by VDOT) is maintained by the Town of Warrenton, though I do not recall seeing any END STATE MAINTENANCE signage (as can be found on U.S. 15 [Bypass] at the corporate limits of Leesburg).  I assume it is in the northeast corner of the town.

The town also maintains 1.52 miles of U.S. 17, presumably on the north side of the town, where it was rebuilt onto an all-new alignment.

Wrong. See that "Maint: 30"? That means VDOT maintains it as part of the "Fauquier Maintenance Area". Compare to US 211 and the business routes, where it just says "Town of Warrenton".

VDOT decided in 1969 that it would maintain arterial bypasses inside city limits: http://www.ctb.virginia.gov/meetings/minutes_pdf/CTB-05-1969-01.pdf (pp. 15-16)

Spui, thanks for explaining that.

I wouldn't use the presence/absence of "State Maintenance Begins/Ends" signs as the barometer for this.  Fredericksburg doesn't have any of these signs posted anywhere I am aware of on a primary route.  The Town of Orange on the other hand definitely does.  I would say that more often than not there are no signs on primary routes.  These signs are more prevalent on secondary routes entering a town/city.

I was in error to have omitted Incorporated towns as maintainers of some primary routes.  A good barometer that the town likely maintains the primary routes is whether there are any secondary route markers within town limits.

I know not local here, but US 202 in NJ north of NJ 53 is county maintained.

I believe all independent cities in VA maintain all US, State, and Secondary routes as per agreement with the State.

Not entirely.

The National Park Service maintains the U.S. 50 (Constitution Avenue, N.W.) between 23rd Street and Virginia Avenue.  It also maintains the southbound side of U.S.1 (15th Street) between Constitution Avenue, N.W. and (I believe) Independence Avenue, S.W.).
