It's physically impossible to go through Georgia on an Interstate or US Route without touching a state route. Same for US Routes in Alabama.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

To be fair the OP did refer to signed state routes.  Most of these concurrencies (at least the ones I'm familiar with) do not sign the state number.

The Interstates don't, but the US routes virtually always do in Georgia (though not Alabama).

IN:  nope...  IN-49 has a short multiplex with I-70 that I've drove on.


IN 49 does not go anywhere near I-70.

Oh crap!  it was OH-49!  O.o  During my Google Maps scan, I missed the state line  *heh*

I can only think of two right now -- Kansas and Mississippi.  Probably not coincidentally, MS is one of the states where I have yet to "overnight" at a motel/hotel or a home, whereas KS stays were almost invariably a Red Roof in Overland Park at the junction of I-435 and US 169 (and once at a LaQuinta on US 54 in Wichita).     

ctkatz

of the states I have visited, I don't recall if I've ever gotten off the highway and not hit a state route, except one: north carolina. and the only reason I can confidently say I never drove on a state route is because I never got off the interstate in north carolina, I 40 to I 26 and out.

SouthEast176

Excluding multiplexes because I don't pay attention to US Routes and state highways, there's too much states to list.

A state qualifies if you have traveled on at least one Interstate, Auxiliary Interstate, US, or Auxiliary US highway in the state but no signed state highways.  Remember that some states mutliplex state highways with Interstate and US highways. (If I've missed a multiplex with the routes I've listed, please let me know.)

My list:
Arkansas - Driven on I-30, I-40 and I-55 but no state highways
Delaware - Driven on I-295 but no state highways
Idaho - Driven on US 39 but no state highways
Montana - Driven on I-90, I-94, US 89 and US 212 but no state highways
Nebraska - Driven on I-76 and I-80 but no state highways
New York - Driven on I-95 US 1/9 but no state highways
Oklahoma - Driven on I-35, I-40 and I-44 but no state highways


Updates: First of all, my route in Idaho was US 89, not US 39.

I also missed Louisiana, where I've driven on I-10, I-310, US 51 and US 90 but no state highways so that gets added to the list.

Since this original post, I have driven on state highways in New York so that gets removed from the list.

Since this original post, I have driven in Connecticut on I-95 and in Rhode Island on I-95 and I-195 but no state highways so they get added to the list.
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%

Only Rhode Island (and DC).

Yeah there's only one DC highway so you've either been on it or you haven't.
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%

I have been on an state highway for every one of the 47 states + DC I've visited.

I know I was on a Nevada state highway (604) before it was decommissioned, so currently...46.

My only possibilities would be Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and South Dakota. And that's only if there were no state concurrencies on any of the US or Interstate routes I was on in those states.

Had to look to see if I had posted in this thread. I left out Nebraska, which I've only been in twice. Once by car, entering on US 77 and exiting on I-129, and once via Amtrak.

Colorado, Utah, and Idaho can be scratched off this list. I was on state routes in all those states on my trip last year.
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Nebraska for sure. I-129 and US 77.
Iowa I was on I-29 and I-129.
Up until 2015, Oklahoma qualified. US 54 I only used except as a small child way before 2000-01  have no memory of what I was on then.

Wyoming I-25, US 18, US 85, US 87, and US 30.

I have driven on interstates in 49 states.  The only state I can think of where I haven't been on a state highway may be Nebraska, unless there's a concurrency on I-80 I am not remembering.

There is. NE 10 near Kearney.
Well, no state qualifies for me, then.
And definitely not now.  Took an extensive drive through NE earlier this year.

Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island

For Iowa, I have less than 1 TM segment on a state route.

From a quick TM check, it appears that Indiana is the only state I've visited with no travels on the state route system.

No state highways at all:
Idaho (I-90)
Rhode Island (I-95)
Virginia (I-66 and I-495)

No independent segments used:
Alabama
Connecticut
Georgia
Kansas
Kentucky
Oregon
Vermont

I think the only state that would qualify for me is Idaho, unless I-90 or US-12 through the state duplexes with a state highway.

abefroman329

Without re-tracing literally every interstate road trip I've ever taken, Connecticut.

Possibly but unlikely: Pennsylvania, West Virginia.

US 89

Looks like Indiana, Iowa, and New Hampshire all hit this for me.

GA, SC, and NC: I was on I-95 the entire time in GA, and only left I-95 in SC to go to Pedro's.  Not sure which route the motel I stayed at in NC was on, so I'm hazy about it.  Also never touched a state route in MS (I-10, I-110, and US 90), although I was in the interchange where one began (MS 15 in the I-10/110 interchange).
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)
