Westside Parkway, Bakersfield, CA. When the Centennial Corridor project is comeplete, it will become a realigned CA-58 (or possibly I-40?) but for now, it's a 6-mile long local freeway maintained and patrolled by the City of Bakersfield.

If no one mentions them, the Kentucky Parkway system has unsigned 9000-series numbers, but for all intents and purpose, they are numberless.
A freeway is a freeway. We could cheaply build many new Interstates if it weren't for the nitty-gritty intricacy of Interstate Standards.

Sky Harbor Blvd
Between I-10 EB Exit 149 Phoenix and Priest Drive/AZ 202 WB Exit 5 Tempe.
The portion between 202 and the airport boundary west of 143 is in ADOT route logs as Spur 202, although it isn't posted. The rest of it isn't really a freeway.

A short portion of what was once the CA-1 freeway through Oxnard will become a freeway alignment of Oxnard Boulevard once CA-1 is officially rerouted onto Rice Avenue.

Sam Cooper Blvd. in Memphis, from I-40/240 to Highland St.

In Columbus, we have International Gateway, which has three interchanges and no at-grade crossings between Cassady Ave and ½ mile east of Taxiway H. (Spur freeway off I-670 serving the airport.)
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.

JFK Expressway in Queens, its maintained by the Port Authority.

sandwalk

Northwest Parkway in metro Denver is numberless.

Henry

Billy Graham Parkway and the Josh Birmingham Parkway in Charlotte are unnumbered, although the former was once signed as US 521.

Also, the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel in NYC does not have a number, due to it being secret I-478.

Which means it has a number. Other than the aforementioned JFK Expressway, nothing in New York qualifies because everything has a route number, whether it be assigned by the state or a county (in the case of Suffolk).

In the Great White North, Red Hill Valley Parkway and the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway in Hamilton, along with the Gardiner, Allen Road, and the Don Valley Parkway in Toronto, are city-maintained and unnumbered.

The Sam Jones Expressway near Indianapolis has no number and its a freeway, or at least was a few years ago.

Except the JFK Expressway. For some reason, to my knowledge that's never been given a reference route number, even though NYSDOT did eventually assign them to other non-DOT roads such as the first leg of the Berkshire Spur.

NYSTA is a state authority, though. Port Authority didn't even have to follow state/city building codes until after 9/11, hence why WTC didn't have a sprinkler system.

I couldn't resist the temptation to be a smartass and point out that I beat you to it nearly a month ago: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=17076.msg2113630#msg2113630

Well, the Port Authority is a bi-state authority, but I'm not sure I take your point? NYSDOT numbers various roads maintained by counties and municipalities, and most of the Port Authority's other roadways do have numbers. I'm not seeing the connection between the jurisdictional level of an agency and whether or not its roadways have numbers.

Sam Cooper Blvd in Memphis.  Was going to be I-40 until construction through Overton Park was blocked by the courts.

Dallas North Tollway have no numbers, FDR Drive in NYC and Storrow Drive in Boston have no numbers designated by their respective states.

Regarding Storrow Drive, you're right.  But don't believe Google Maps or the locals about it.  East of the "Copley Square" exit, the road carries Mass. Route 28 and turns northeast, but is actually (almost secretly) named Embankment Road.  Depending on who you ask, once you pass the Longfellow Bridge it's actually Charles Street, which carries not only 28 but Mass. 3 as well. 

Edit: After that convoluted explanation, I forgot to include the important point that the proverbial "everyone" calls all of it "Storrow Drive" even though, strictly speaking, those numbered portions are not.

The FDR certainly does, but you'll have to look it up on my website 'cos I don't remember it offhand. :-)

Pretty much a reference route...unless we count those, then yes, it is otherwise unnumbered.
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
