<div id="ygrps-yiv-490828058">It&#39;s not on the national level, but one can travel through three U.S. states<br/>
(PA, MD, WV) in about 4 (yes, four) minutes, with no tripoint involved.<br/>
The spot in question is near Hancock, MD, where Interstate highways 68 and<br/>
70 meet.  US Highway 522 runs the width of this 2-mile wide MD &#39;proruption&#39;<br/>
(I must admit, I had never heard that word before today).<br/>
<br/>
Also, if one were to continue on US 522 from Hancock, heading south through<br/>
West Virginia, you would cross into Virginia within a half-hour, making it<br/>
possible to travel through 4 US states in about 35 minutes, with no<br/>
multipoints involved.<br/>
<br/>
I believe there is another location where one can travel through 4 US states<br/>
in under an hour - FL-AL-MS-LA, heading west on Interstate Highway 10...<br/>

&gt; Really? The Netherlands has a proruption like this. It is called<br/>
&gt; South Limburg. It is always nice to show foreign visitors (especially<br/>
&gt; from big countries like the US) that you can visit three different<br/>
&gt; countries in, say, fifteen minutes (without coming even near a<br/>
&gt; tripoint, that is). The journey by car from boundary marker 122 on<br/>
&gt; the benl border to boundary marker 311 on the denl border lasts that<br/>
&gt; long (this is from Maaseik (B), via Roosteren and Susteren (NL) to<br/>
&gt; Isenbruch (D)).<br/>
