Thought of this after clicking on so many Raleigh area GSV links this month. Both St Louis and Raleigh have Interstate or US highways numbered 40, 64 and 70. In St Louis, it's US 40/I-64/I-70, while in Raleigh, it's I-40/US 64/US 70. Any other city pairs with something like this?

Sioux City IA - I-29/US 20-75
Atlanta GA - I-20/75, US 29

This one is a little bit of a stretch, but here goes:

Greater Memphis, TN:  I-22, US 61, US 78
Hamburg, PA:  US 22, PA 61, I-78

Bet here's a better one:

Memphis, TN: I-40, US 70, US 79
Washington, PA: I-70, US 40, I-79

former examples:

Memphis:  I-40/240, US 70
Frederick MD:  I-70, US 40-240

Knoxville: I-40/140, US 70
Baltimore: I-70, US 40-140

Indianapolis, IN: US 40, I-70, I-74

"How would they compete?"
"Let's say they rode together in a big buss."
"Is Ditka driving?"
"Of course!"
"Then I like da Bear buss."
"DA BEARSSS BUSSSS"

Chicago: US-45, I-90, I-290

Houston: I-45, US-90, US-290

Another one involving Asheville:

Denver, CO: I-25, US 40, I-70
Asheville, NC: US 25, I-40, US 70

And this one is a bit of a stretch since it requires combining Raleigh & Durham, but screw it, it nets a 4-fer:

Denver, CO: US 40, I-70, US 85, US 87
Raleigh-Durham, NC: I-40, US 70, I-85, I-87

(Side note: Interesting that most of the examples in this thread involve the 40/70 combination.)

When I first found out that I-40 and US 70 are parallel routes, I found it fascinating that the opposite is true too in this case, as I lived within 60 miles of I-70/US 40 my entire life so far and knew that those two are parallel routes since pretty early on in my road geek hobby.

On another note, if we include former US routes, we have I-90/US 10 in the western half of the country, and I-10/US 90 in the eastern half, which could lead to some pairings. First one that I thought of:
Jacksonville: I-10, US 90, I-95
Coeur d'Alene: US 10, I-90, US 95

Chicagoland/NW Indiana: US 20. US 30. US 45. I-80
Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex: IH 20. IH 30. IH 45. US 80.

St Louis: US 40. I-64. I-70.
Memphis: I-40. US 64. US 70.
From the OP, Raleigh and Memphis happen to share those routes
And thanks, Big John - I had the 70s reversed initially for STL and Memphis - now corrected

I think you have US 70 and I-70 reversed.

ran4sh

If you count US 64 Truck for 64, and/or you count Hendersonville as part of the Asheville metro area, you can also include Asheville NC as a city with I-40, US 70, US 64.
Center lane merges are the most unsafe thing ever, especially for unfamiliar drivers.

Control cities should be actual cities/places that travelers are trying to reach.

Travel Mapping - Most Traveled: I-40, 20, 10, 5, 95 - Longest Clinched: I-20, 85, 74, 24, 16

jp the roadgeek

If we count the I-84's as 2 different routes:

Hartford has Eastern I-84, I-91, and CT 15
Salt Lake City has Western I-84, US 91, and I-15

Of course, both have US 6.
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)

Very close but no cigar:

US 80, I-20 and I-30 all go through Dallas.
I-80 and US 20 go through Hammond, IN, but US 30 just misses a few miles to the south.
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%

If you count the whole metro area of both (which I'm allowing in this thread), you can get 4 route numbers, as someone mentioned upthread.

If we’re going by metro area, then here’s one

Boston area has I-93, I-95, and MA 146

Las Vegas Valley has US 93, US 95, and NV 146
Formerly BlueOutback7

Lowest untraveled number: 96

Not sure State Highways/Routes is what the OP had in mind

That said, I was sad that Boston has neither US 11 nor US 15 in its metro area, because that would have made the Boston-Vegas connection for this thread

It's not, this is for Interstates and US routes only.

tdindy88

Indianapolis, IN: I-65, I-70, US 40
North Little Rock, AR: US 65, US 70, I-40

kenarmy

This is only two but I feel the need to share Hattiesburg, MS: I-59, US 49----Texarkana, AR: I-49, US 59.
Just a reminder that US 6, 49, 50, and 98 are superior to your fave routes :)


EXTEND 206 SO IT CAN MEET ITS PARENT.

A future example

Allentown, Pennsylvania will have I-78, US 22, US 222

Birmingham, Alabama will have I-22, US 78, I-222
Formerly BlueOutback7

Lowest untraveled number: 96

Chicago: US 12. I-90. I-190.
Slidell, LA: I-12. US 90. US 190.

JayhawkCO

This almost works:

St. Paul, MN - US10, US12, US61
Baton Rouge, LA - I-10, I-12, US61

US 89
