US80 Business and AL22 in Selma:



TBKS1

Took me a really long time to find one but here's US 70 at AR 192 in Hot Springs for my [0, 2] entry.



Also just want to say that this is a super unique idea, I'd have to look a bit more into where all of these intersections are in my state.
I take pictures of road signs, that's about it.

General rule of thumb: Just stay in the "Traffic Control" section of the forum and you'll be fine.

January 4: A route ending in 3 meeting a route ending in 0 in your state.
Note that you don't have to wait for me to announce the day's route number criteria. You can check to see what the next day holds by checking the schedule in the original post.

Good, you all have caught on to how the requested numbers change from day to day. I'm going to start posting the next three days' challenges at the end of my posts so you know what to expect the next day, in case I don't jump on here early in the morning (I am out of state currently). Note that after the 0-9 day on January 10th, January 11th will move to 1-1, then 1-2, 1-3, etc.

January 5: Post a route ending in 0 meeting a route ending in 4 in your state.

As a real softball for Illinois, here's I-90 and I-94 in Chicago:


IL-I-94X43BN by Paul Across America, on Flickr

IL-154 at IL-150 near Cutler


IL-154-150E by Paul Across America, on Flickr

IL-100 at IL-104 near Meredosia


IL-104-100SN by Paul Across America, on Flickr

The next three days:
January 6: Post the junction of a route ending in 0 and a route ending in 5 in your state/province.
January 7: Post the junction of a route ending in 0 and a route ending in 6 in your state/province.
January 8: Post the junction of a route ending in 0 and a route ending in 7 in your state/province.

(If you are the first person on a given day to post photos in here, feel free to quote this ending blurb as the title of your post to show everyone what we are doing for that day.)

Weirdly enough I think this is the only [0, 4] entry in my photo log, at least in Arkansas. I swear I thought I had I-40/US 64 in the same photo, but I can't find any.

Just got home after a long day of travel, so I'm posting my entry here at the end of the day! Thanks to formulanone for putting the quoted banner up top to help people understand today's challenge.

So I need a route ending in 0 meeting a route ending in 5 in my state.

Albion is where you'll find IL-15 and IL-130 coming together for a short concurrency.

Pretty sure you gotta get your own photos for this.

Anyways, for today's challenge, I have not one, but two photos.

A-30 and QC 116:

A-30 EB, sortie 76 - 1 by Liliana Vess, on Flickr

A-20 and "QC 136" (yeah, right!):

A-15 SB, sortie 63 (Décarie) - 1 by Liliana Vess, on Flickr

I could probably add A-20 and QC 116 today if I wanted to. Will I want to, considering the subzero (Celsius) temperatures? We'll see.
