While browsing through an old atlas I noticed US 6 and US 34 overlap three separate times (CO, NE, IL).  Is that the most for two US routes ? 

What are some other examples past or present (US, state or Interstate) ?

US 6 and US 322 (2 times) Cleveland, OH and Conneaut Lake/Meadville, PA

US 6/US 50 overlap three times from eastern Nevada through Utah to Colorado.
1. From Ely, NV to Delta, UT
2. From I-70 Exit 157 in UT to Exit 11 in CO
3. From I-70 Exit 26 in CO to the junction of BL I-70 and North Ave in Grand Junction, CO

US 20-26 has 4 separate duplexes if you allow 20 Bus-26 in Idaho Falls.

US 10-12 used to have 4 distinct duplexes (5 if they ever did in Detroit) - 2 in Montana, Minneapolis, and another in Wisconsin.

US 64-70 used to have 4 in NC alone (I think...there have been so many reroutings it would take some research to see if they were all around at the same time) plus one in Memphis

US 6/44 overlap on I-84 in Hartford and on I-195 in Providence. It's foolish to follow 44 between the two.

US 1 and 301 have two: Richmond to Petersburg, VA and then again in the Jacksonville area.

26/30 overlap through Caldwell, ID then again from Boise to Bliss ID, then again west of Ogallala, NE

US-62 and 82 concur from Ralls into Lubbock, split through Lubbock, and then go again to Brownfield.

In the "almost but not quite" department, US 23 north runs with US 19 north through North Carolina, then they split. In Tennessee, US 23 picks up US 19W.

I believe that, officially, U.S. 6 and 50 are concurrent between Green River UT and Grand Junction CO, including the surface route section just west of Grand Junction that is only posted as U.S. 6. Colorado generally only posts one route of a concurrency, and so U.S. 50 isn't posted from its junction with BL I-70 to Green River. Utah is inconsistent in posting concurrent U.S. routes along interstates, and does not post either U.S. 6 or 50 - nor 191 either - along eastern I-70.

Had forgotten about a Kentucky example. US 60 and US 62 enter Kentucky together (from Illinois, with US 51) and then separate, then join again in Paducah, then join again further east in Versailles (in a wrong-way instance, east US 60 there is west US 62) before they split for good.

US 90 and 98 come very close to having 2 overlaps. They do in Mobile and are only a couple of blocks apart in Pensacola.

US 59 and 69 overlap twice. The loop around Lufkin, TX and in Afton, OK

They do in Pensacola. They also split briefly at the south end of US 31, and overlap wrong-way in Mobile (US 90 goes over the bridge to the north), so that's 4.

US 60/70 used to be overlapped from Globe, AZ to Beaumont CA, before splitting into US 60 and US 70/99 and then rejoining in Pomona before being overlapped all the way to Los Angeles.

You forgot an overlap: 44 jumps off to a surface street in E Hartford while 6 east continues on I-84...they overlap again in Manchester a few miles east until they get to Bolton, then split again until they arrive in Providence

It might be interesting to look at all cases of pairs of U.S. Routes intersecting twice and see which one if either is the better route.

I forgot one - US 60 and 70 also overlap in Clovis NM

US 78 and 278 overlap twice in GA.  One in Augusta and the other in the Metro Atlanta area.
US 98 and US 301 both overlap twice near Dade City, FL.  Even though they are not signed that way, one goes through town while the other bypasses it.  They both are officially together north and south of the city.

US 278 did once overlap its parent in Alabama before the current US 78 freeway was constructed.

At one time, US 6 & 44 exited off 195 prior to its merge w/95.

In the Danbury area, US 6, 7 & 202 run along a few miles along I-84.  In fact, the 6 & 202 multiplex  (NOT the segment along I-84) west of Danbury goes for about 6-7 miles into NY State.  It splits just west of NY 22.

US 1 and US 301 do that.  Once from Callahan, FL to Homeland, GA.  The other from Petersburg, VA to Richmond, VA.
Then you have US 98 and US 319 being concurrent twice in Florida.
You once had US 98 and US 441 twice, but US 98 was resigned to US 441 at their parting and US 98 is now called by its FDOT state number there.

Basically US 98 does it with three different other US Routes if you count US 301.  Matter of fact US 98 junctions with all N-S US Routes except US 23 and runs concurrent with almost every N-S US designation in the  Sunshine State peninsula.  That is why it had a unique color BLACK when colored US Route shields were in use throughout Florida.  Colors were never duplicated for routes that intersected each other except US 27 and US 192 that both used green colors only cause when the shields were issued, US 192 was only a small child until Mickey Mouse made it more grown up. The rule was broken after 1972 at the intrastate US route's terminus was extended to be a tourist corridor.

Well, when you think about it Disney is the primary reason for US 192 to be extended from its Kissimmee terminus.  So therefore Mickey did let US 192 grow more.
