Highways that exist only in one city

[corco]

Nebraska doesn't have very many of these. There seems to be a general rule that numbered routes should not exist solely within the city limits of one city. NE 38 in Omaha was decommissioned for this reason. The only Nebraska highways that exist solely within the city limits of one city are:
I-180 in Lincoln
Spur 1C in Hastings
Link 28K in Omaha
Link 55W in Lincoln
Link 55X in Lincoln
Link 56G in North Platte
The Nebraska portions of I-480 and I-680 only exist in Omaha, but since they also go into Iowa, I don't count them.

What about Link 17J in Sidney? I don't know the exact boundaries in that area- only that when you get off the freeway you're at Cabela's and surrounding stuff, which I assume is in Sidney, and then the route heads toward downtown- I guess it could conceivably leave Sidney around the northern terminus.

Then I'd bet there's several short short links not worth mentioning like 10E in Elm Creek

[froggie]

Probably the most obvious example of this would be DC 295.

As is the unsigned I-695.

Here are a few of the more obscure examples in Virginia:

- VA 283 in Norton (not signed as such...but is/was signed as BUSINESS ALT US 58)
- VA 290 in Dayton (very well signed)
- VA 293 in Danville (only existed since '98...used to be BUSINESS US 29)
- Both VA 296 and VA 298 in West Point

You're correct-Link 17J is entirely within the city limits of Sidney. I forgot to check that one because mentally I always think of that exit as being US 385. Link 10E comes a mere .02 miles from being entirely within the city limits of Elm Creek. I did find a couple of other very short links that are entirely within the city limits of one city. Link 28H in Omaha, which is the short connector from I-680 Exit 13 to US 75, and Link 24D, which is a short connector at the intersection of US 30 and NE 47 in Gothenburg.

[Bickendan]

Oregon:
SR-569 (Eugene)

OR 569 doesn't qualify. It skirts out of the city limits.
Delta Highway, on the other hand...

[florida]

It is fairly common down here in FL for some/most state routes to be wholly within in city limits.

[WillWeaverRVA]

A few more in VA:
I-195/VA 195 in Richmond
VA 146 in Richmond
VA 128 in Lynchburg
VA 412 in Blacksburg

No on I-195, it clips a piece of Henrico County near the Laburnum Avenue exit, and there is a small "Enter Henrico County" sign posted nearby.

VA 197 in Richmond almost does this, but it also clips a little piece of Henrico County between US 250 and Hamilton Street (and this fact is signed in the field).

[thenetwork]

I-277 exists only in Akron.

Almost...There is a short stretch just east of Main Steet that sneaks out of Akron and, depending on where you consider I-277 to "officially" end, at I-77: http://ci.akron.oh.us/ed/graphics/jeddmap.gif  (I had originally thought Barberton had the first 1/2 mile or so of I-277, but that was not the case).


For Northeast Ohio, I'll substitute I-490 in Cleveland for I-277 in Akron.  

[US71]

I forgot: AR 180 exists only in Fayetteville. It used to have 3 different sections all within the city limits. Now, there's just one.

There are 2 AR 156's. One is in Fayetteville exclusively. The other is near Evansville and runs from AR 59 to OK 100

Spur 16S is only in Siloam Springs.

US 271 doesn't count since it crosses into Oklahoma... but in Arkansas it's only in Fort Smith.

Spur 72S was only in Bentonville, but doesn't exist anymore.

I have a few more for Virginia:
I-381 in Bristol
VA 111 in Christiansburg
VA 125 in Suffolk (two pieces totally within Suffolk, at that!)

[Scott5114]

I-444.  I-244 might qualify, but it's hard to tell if it leaves the Tulsa city limits at its west end.

I-235 and I-240 are both entirely within Oklahoma City limits. If I-244 doesn't leave Tulsa (I don't think it does) then all of OK's 3dis would stay entirely within the cities they serve.

I have a few more for Virginia:
I-381 in Bristol
VA 111 in Christiansburg
VA 125 in Suffolk (two pieces totally within Suffolk, at that!)

Speaking of I-381 this includes its state-highway extension VA 381

fix-o-quote to the rescue

[Hot Rod Hootenanny]

Oh 710 in northern Columbus
I-670 almost. It's in Columbus's corp limits from I-70 west till Cassady Ave (and the Port Columbus exit). From Cassady to I-270, I-670 is in Mifflin Twp.

[bulldog1979]

I-375 is entirely within the city of Detroit. M-331 begins at the Kalamazoo city limit and ends downtown. And I tend to think the soon-to-be-turned-back M-168 lies entirely within the village of Elberta. Other than a few of the business connections (most of those travel through more than one municipality), most of the rest of the short spurs go through unincorporated areas or otherwise don't lie entirely within one incorporated place.

EDIT: Crap, forgot M-8 goes through Highland Park. But I'm sure everything else I said is true.

M-212 is entirely in Aloha Township in Cheboygan County, if that counts for a single-municipality highway. The unsigned BS I-375 is also entirely within Detroit. BS I-75 in Sault Ste. Marie is only in the city, but as stated, most business loops in Michigan cross municipal lines. The only other one that comes to mind is BUS US 2 in Ironwood. From what I saw on control section maps, M-108 crosses outside of the Village of Mackinaw City. If it's all in the village, it would still be in two counties though.

[njroadhorse]

I-490 only exists in Cleveland, OH.

I-790 is entirely in Utica, NY.

I-190 is located entirely in Rapid City, SD.

[Brandon]

Interesting reading, this thread.  There no highways in Illinois that exist only within the municipal boundaries of one municipality.  Not a single one.  All the business loops even cross municipal boundaries.  And for those who are asking, I-190 goes through Rosemont between the Kennedy (Chicago) and O'Hare (Chicago).

Now for a different thread, highways that exist in only one county, there are a few.

[agentsteel53]

Now for a different thread, highways that exist in only one county, there are a few.

I'm sure there are a lot of those in every state.

pretty soon we'll be talking about "highways that exist only on one planet".  Sorry, Neptune-Pluto Parkway, whose cardinal direction signs have to be reversed for 20 years every 247.

[hm insulators]

A couple off the top of my head: Arizona 51 and Arizona 143, both entirely in Phoenix.

[TheStranger]

A couple off the top of my head: Arizona 51 and Arizona 143, both entirely in Phoenix.

Arizona 153 also qualified (when it existed), IIRC.
