I think you are using a different definition of "highway" than I am, and the DOT uses. By definition, nearly every town and city in the US has a highway, in fact, the "main street" (often called Main) in most US municipalities West of the Mississippi River is intentionally built to overlap on a US highway, including the famous and definitive US Route 66.
But more specifically, when I am saying "city" (and I later use major city), I'm not talking about 100k people, I'm talking about what comes to mind when you hear the word "city". E.g. Los Angeles, Kansas City, Dallas, Atlanta, Denver, et al.
In all of those places, a major interstate runs near/through the city and all of them have auxillary interstate highways (3 digit number).
You seem to be trying to be as literal as possible to call me out, but are in fact wrong even in your literal interpretation because you're being literal about "city" but not "highway".

That is true, but also irrelevant, because the left lane rule does not apply on those highways when within city limits. I spent much of my life in such cities.
