Should we take up a collection, buy route sign replicas from Jake, and ninja-post the four-way concurrency?

What happened to TN 9? It's US 25W's companion unsigned secret state route.

It follows US 25W onto I-40 and then I-640

I'd like they sign TN 168 to I-40, since the former doesn't have a direct entrance to the latter. This would have the side effect of having all four directions signed on a single section of road at the same time :sombrero:.

There is a short segment in Logansport, IN, that gets you 3/4 of the way there. US 35 and IN 25 have a wrong way N/S concurrency and US 24 is and E/W highway on the same segment.

Resurrecting the thread because I found one (albeit not fully signed):

This is in eastern Knoxville TN - https://goo.gl/maps/cj9wGmvQSussrjeo6

You are on US 11E south, US 25W north, US 70 west, and unsigned TN 9 north.  The sign says TN 168 west is to the left.

TN 168 east is also (unsigned) straight ahead.

TN 168 was extended over US 11E-70 when US 25W was moved to I-40 and 640.  Though not necessary, TN 9 was also moved with it.  Thus there was no state designation on US 11E-70 west of I-40.  They put TN 168 on it.  Maps show this and there is a TN 168 mile posting at the US 11E-11W split - https://goo.gl/maps/whkXNQMejqRuBz4U9

So while not posted, it does exist on a 0.9 mile stretch of highway in Tennessee.

Should we take up a collection, buy route sign replicas from Jake, and ninja-post the four-way concurrency?

Yes, somebody should absolutely do this!  Ninja-mount the signs and get a photo.  Think about it - you would be a hero to the whole forum!

(The fine print:  I am not responsible for any difficulties anyone would have with any law enforcement agencies if you were to try this.  Don't say "dlsterner told me to" ... I will deny, deny, deny!)
