It's a definite challenge to avoid redundancy from the ones place season here in the tens place season.  I had nothing worth (re)posting for *0x/*3y, and it looks like most of my *0x/*4y would also be repeats.

In the last round, I didn't play the US 301/US 441 split north of Ocala, Florida.  July 12, 2014.

US 64 and US 501 in Pittsboro, North Carolina.  June 20, 2008.



This one's really a near miss, but shows that US 264 and US 301 have a junction about a mile from this sign on I-795 near Wilson, North Carolina.  November 14, 2010.



And this one hasn't been a valid play for this season for over 50 years, but I assume this was once the junction of US 62 and US 104 in Niagara Falls, New York.  June 26, 2012.

I guess none of the NC peeps on here have gotten the US 15/US 501/US 64 concurrency yet on/by the Pittsboro Bypass.

My picture of 77/400 is buried somewhere in this forum, and I'm pretty sure it was hosted by Photobucket so who knows if it's even a thing anymore.
