This one is big, but it would seem to fit the state: let the Colorado River be the border between Utah and Arizona instead of the awkward 37th parallel. Arizona north of the Colorado River is harder to reach from any part of Arizona (except opposite banks of the Colorado River), as one must go through Nevada or Utah to get to it. Arizona has an expensively-built, and expensive-to-maintain and patrol section of Interstate 15 that has an exit for only one Arizona town that is better connected to St. George, Utah (now a significant city) or even Las Vegas. Littlefield might as well be in Utah.

This region is infamous for lawlessness, including a polygamist cult in Colorado City. Does anyone want to bet that much cocaine travels on Interstate 15 in Arizona?   

A couple of suggestions related to highways: let the right-of-ways of Interstate 86  in the extreme north of central Pennsylvania (already maintained by New York State) and L-684 in Connecticut  (which doesn't even have an interchange in Connecticut) go to New York State.
