That's not the case, at least as far as the law enforcement topic of the early part of the thread is true. Interstate highways don't have special Federal police. They're part of the state in which they're in, and the state police (and local police) have jurisdiction and responsibility for them. Galveston police or Texas Highway Patrol will respond to problems on Interstates within Galveston, not the FBI.

I believe I-16 goes only from Savannah to Macon, all within Georgia.

True. (Savannah is the third largest port on the East Coast, so there's a good reason to connect it to the rest of the Interstate system. Macon is on I-75, which gets you to the Midwest and Chicago.) Or there's Interstate H1, in Hawaii, which clearly isn't going to go to any other states. Actually crossing a state line isn't a requirement.
