A challenging lane configuration approaching Spaghetti Junction and I-85 on I-285 northbound. (I think this sign has since been replaced, though I'm still not sure it's actually correct.)

I've tried to go for both quality and level of potential interest for my selections, but I'll settle for only level of interest for my I-85 contribution. It's the old very long distance control city of Miami here in Petersburg, Virginia.  Atlanta's not exactly off the next exit, either. December 27, 2000.



Plenty of examples but nothing too exciting among my US 85s.  So to ManitobaCity Route 85 in Winnipeg.  June 9, 2001.



And I think this End New York 85 might be gone as part of the recent reconstruction.  This is between Lincoln Avenue and I-90 in Albany.  September 29, 2010.

City Route 85, taken downtown May 2016.

So looks like mine upthread is a city route, not a Manitoba provincial route.  Moreover, it looks like I've had them captioned incorrectly on my web site for 15 years.

There is no MB 85. Winnipeg is one of the (I'm guessing) few cities that have their own route network, laid out in a grid pattern (odd numbers east west, increasing from north to south, even numbers north south, increasing east to west). My avatar is based on the Winnipeg Route shield.

Sometimes both a city route and a Manitoba highway concurrently travel through an area:


MB 101 (Perimeter Hwy) approaching MB 59, Winnipeg 20 (Lagimodiere Blvd)
by Sign Geek, on Flickr

MB 59 (US 59's northern cousin) and Route 20 run concurrent near the cities eastern limit. You can tell the difference with the shield shape.

I think both you and Alps have it wrong on your respective sites, however it's a common mistake to make.  :)
