US 15:
Most of US 15 south of Harrisburg is a limited access highway. US 15 is a freeway from the state line to PA 234. From there to PA 114, just south of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, US 15 is an expressway with one exception. The Dillsburg Bypass is a strip mall boulevard with many driveways. The expressway segments have no driveways and very long left turn lanes.

US 30 - York Bypass:
The US 30 bypass of York has various types of highway types on it. There is a freeway segment, with access only by interchange, two expressway segments, where there are traffic lights but no driveways, and a strip mall boulevard with many driveways. The bypass has a speed limit of 40 mph.

Summary:

PA 39 - Hersheypark Dr:
There is a short expressway segment of PA 39 in Hershey, home of the world-famous chocolate company. Starting at the interchange with US 322 and US 422, the expressway travels north for a short distance, stopping for a traffic light at Hummelstown’s Main St. Northeast of that, the 4-lane divided expressway transitions into a non-limited access 5-lane highway with a center turn lane at the Chocolate Ave at-grade.

US 40:
At the east end of the freeway-grade Uniontown Bypass, US 40 becomes a 4-lane divided expressway. There are several at-grades at side roads, but the only median break is at a scenic overlook picnic area.

PA 42:
PA 42 near Bloomsburg is an expressway from just north of I-80 to just south of US 11.

PA 54:
PA 54 is an expressway through Danville. The expressway begins just north of I-80 and ends at the Susquehanna River bridge. The highway goes through a tunnel beneath downtown.

PA 56:
East of US 219, there is a short 4-lane conventional segment of PA 56. West of Scalp Level, this highway becomes a 4-lane divided expressway, bypassing the towns of Scalp Level and Windber and becoming 3-lane undivided expressway east of Windber. There is one westbound lane and two eastbound lands. At the Ashtola Dr / Graham Ave intersection east of Windber, PA 56 becomes a conventional 2-lane road.

PA 61:
Although most of PA 61 between I-81 and Reading is a 4-lane conventional road, there is one expressway segment, on the Saint Clair Bypass.

PA 82:
There is a short 4-lane divided expressway segment of PA 82 that serves as the gateway to downtown Coatesville from the US 30 freeway.

PA 100:
PA 100 is an expressway with a mix of traffic lights and interchanges between Pottstown and New Berlinville.

In addition, a Trexlertown Bypass is under construction. The PA 100 / Trexlertown Bypass will include a mix of signals and interchanges. The stretch of the road that will be multiplexed  with US 222 will have one grade-separated interchange with US 222 SB; that stretch will be four lanes (2 each way).  The portion south of US 222, signed as  PA 100, will be two lanes, one each way.

PA 114:
PA 114, located to the west of Harrisburg, is an expressway between I-81 and US 11.

US 119:
The US 119 expressway begins at the southern end of the freeway segment which lasts from I-70 to PA 819. The expressway continues south from PA 819, bypassing Scottdale and Everson. The expressway ends at the Brown St. interchange south of Everson. US 119 continues south as a 4-lane to 5-lane conventional road with driveways.

PA 153:
PA 153 is an expressway connecting Clearfield to I-80. It starts in Clearfield as a 4-lane divided multiplexed with US 322. After 5 miles, the PA 153 expressway leaves US 322 and heads north towards I-80. There is a super-2 segment for a mile, before PA 153 reverts back to a 4-lane divided configuration before the I-80 interchange.

US 202:

A US 202 expressway is proposed between Montgomery and Doylestown. The highway will have limited access to discourage development, but will be built with only one lane in each direction and with no interchanges so that less of the surrounding area is impacted. Additional right of way along the proposed highway will become a linear park. ROW purchase for the new highway began in September 2004. A PennDOT press release described the details of the highway as follows:
 

• Four-lane, at-grade road at the western end of the corridor in Montgomery County (Welsh Road to Horsham Road). (About 20 percent of the length.)

• Transition to two-lane parkway east of Horsham Road and on to the connection with the junction of the Routes 611 and 202 bypasses around Doylestown. (About 80 percent of the length.)

• Operating speed -- 40 mph

• Designed as Parkway facility with at-grade intersections.

• A 12-foot wide, multi-use, pedestrian-bikeway trail will be included within the right of way.
  PennDOT will purchase the original right of way to maintain the Parkway as restricted access.
  (No access to private property from the Parkway.)
   

Also, US 202 is already an expressway along the West Chester Bypass.
