For Ohio, it's University Heights (population 13k). If we're allowing bordering numbered roads to count, it would be Upper Arlington, as US 33 forms the western edge of the city limits.

It has no freeways in its city limits but the nearest Freeway is Highway 280 and can easily mistake Broadmoor as a district in Daly City if one is passing through.



Broadmoor is not an incorporated city - upthread I mentioned if we were counting CDPs then some of the Sacramento suburbs would be in the running. You could also include Isla Vista on that list.

For incorporated cities, you could previously consider Paradise, which was around 26K before the 2018 fire. It was as low as 4,000 or so after and supposedly is back to around 9,000.

Does Evanston, IL (2020 USCensus - 78,110) currently have a numbered state highway in its city limits?

No, it does not.

Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%

No, it does not.

I posted this on July 26th, I guess viewer didn't look at page 2:

"Someone upthread said Evanston (78,110), which I think is correct. No US 41 or IL 58 crossings as in next door Skokie. Rt. 58 ends at US41, Skokie Blvd, then Dempster is a city street. Sheridan Rd used to be IL 42, but not since forever ago."

Just a reminder that not everyone has the same forum settings.  On my view, what you quoted is currently on page 1.

Sheridan Rd once was a numbered state highway, but IDOT gave it up many decades ago.
