Roads that serve more than one community with the same name

[PHLBOS]

I-95 serves Wilmington, MA & Wilmington, DE

US 20 serves Toldeo, OH & Toledo, OR

[akotchi]

U.S. 17 serves both Jacksonville, NC and Jacksonville, FL.

In a stretch . . . I-95 serves Brunswick, GA and the Brunswicks in NJ.

Finally, for something different . . . I-40 skirts Wilmington, NC, while U.S. 40 skirts Wilmington, DE.

[Landshark]

U.S. 12 - Aberdeen, WA (it's western terminus) & Aberdeen, SD
U.S. 20 - Albany, OR & Albany, NY
I-5 - Woodland, WA & Woodland, CA

[Kacie Jane]

In a stretch . . . I-95 serves Brunswick, GA and the Brunswicks in NJ.

Unlike "the Amboys", I don't think I've ever heard them referred to as "the Brunswicks".  (It's certainly plausible, but I don't think it's a common term.)

Although, I-95 does serve New Brunswick, NJ, then crosses into the province of New Brunswick at its northern end.

Here's a cheap one - I-81 serves both Bristol, VA and Bristol, TN.

[hbelkins]

I-64 and US 60: Lexington, KY and Lexington, VA.

Here's another cheap one: US 25W: Jellico, KY and Jellico, TN.

[MDOTFanFB]

Here's another cheap one: US 25W: Jellico, KY and Jellico, TN.

I-75 also serves both cities.

And here's a couple more along I-75: It serves both Monroe, MI and Monroe, OH and it passes through both Monroe County, MI and Monroe County, TN. In addition, I-75 also serves Atlanta, GA and Atlanta, MI (which are almost 800 miles apart!), although the Atlanta in Michigan is 25 miles east of I-75.

[DandyDan]

FWIW, US 30 serves Ames, Iowa and Ames, Nebraska, but there really isn't much in Ames, Nebraska to serve.  Similarly, US 34 serves Hastings, NE and Hastings, IA.

[lepidopteran]

US-1 (and for that matter, I-95) serves Woodbridge, NJ and Woodbridge, VA.

I-75 has an exit for Covington, OH, and goes through Covington, KY.

I-75 serves Dayton, OH, and has an exit for Dayton, TN.  If you really wanna stretch it, there's also a Dayton, KY east of the aforementioned Covington.

I-70 serves Baltimore, OH (a town just east of Columbus) and ends at Baltimore, MD.

Someone else mentioned how I-70 signs both Washingtons; note that the BGS's actually read "Washington, PA" to avoid confusion.  Highways in Indianapolis used to have a control city of "Columbus, O" when leading to I-70 WB, presumably to avoid confusion with Columbus, IN (which is not on I-70).  There are some locations where the city and state are both included on the BGS when the control city is in a different state than the sign.

If we're including cities that are remarkably similar, how about Langley, VA and Langley Park, MD?  I'm sure that more than a few have been confused by this.  Note that the Virginia Langley is unincorporated; it's actually part of McClean.

Heck, from that POV, US 12, US 41 and I-94 all pass through both Lake County, IL and Lake County, IN.

Apologizing in advance for perpetuating this detour: US 6 and US 20 in both Lake Co., IN and Lake Co., OH.

[corco]

On I-10, the second town one hits as they cross into Texas from New Mexico is Vinton, TX.

On I-10, the first town one hits as they cross into Louisiana from Texas is Vinton, LA.

So that's something.

OK/TX-136 crosses the border between Texas the county and Texas the state.
US-412 comes oh! so close to serving both.

^^ Well, how did I miss that?

I-90 serves both Angola, IN and Angola, NY, though it doesn't quite pass through either.

[nwi_navigator_1181]

I-65 serves both Nashville, IN (15 minutes west on Indiana 46) and Nashville, TN.

[Brandon]

I-65 serves both Nashville, IN (15 minutes west on Indiana 46) and Nashville, TN.

I-94 serves Lansing, IL and Lansing, MI, as well.

How the heck does I-94 serve Lansing, MI?  That's I-69 and I-96.  I-94 is well over 40 miles away at that point.

[RoadWarrior56]

I-65 wins the prize.  From south to north - Franklin TN, Franklin Ky, Franklin IN.

[CNGL-Leudimin]

After a quick look on the map, I've found I-70 serves Salina, KS and Salina, UT.

[WarrenWallace]

US-14 goes through Janesville, WI and Janesville, MN.

[cpzilliacus]

In the "reasonably close" category, there's U.S. 301, which runs  through Prince George's County, Maryland and through Prince George County, Virginia.

U.S. 1 runs through Prince George's County, but makes a turn to the southeast in Petersburg, Virginia, which allows it to avoid Prince George County (it comes pretty close to the Prince George County border in Petersburg).
