U.S. 11 has always struck me as one route that does a remarkably good job of not being a bypass, in large part because it's closely paralleled by interstates that largely act as a bypass.

NY: Rouses Point, Malone, Potsdam, Canton, Gouverneur, Watertown, Pulaski, Syracuse, Homer, Cortland, Binghamton

PA: Clarks Summit, Scranton, Pittston, Kingston (while sort of acting as a bypass of Wilkes-Barre), Berwick, Bloomsburg, Danville, Northumberland, gets pretty bypassy down the Susquehanna and around Harrisburg, but then it's back to through-town all the way down the I-81 corridor - Carlisle, Shippensburg, Chambersburg.

MD & WV: debating whether to count Hagerstown - skirts the Downtown. Williamsport and Martinsburg yes.

VA: Winchester, Strasburg, New Market, Harrisonburg, (not counting Staunton; though the actual route passes fairly close there is a bannered business route, bypasses Lexington as well), Roanoke, Salem, Christiansburg, Radford, Pulaski, Wytheville, Abingdon, Bristol (11E)

TN: 11W and 11E both bypass everything; when they re-combine 11 does go right through Knoxville, Lenoir City, Sweetwater, don't know if Chattanooga counts - it's on local roads most of the way but misses Downtown by a good margin.

GA: Trenton

AL: Fort Payne, Attalla, Birmingham, Eutaw, Livingston

MS: Laurel, Hattiesburg, Picayune

LA: Slidell

I wonder which US Highway has had the least amount of alignment changes.
