April 17, 2018:  A duplex or junction of an interstate and a route of a different type, whose numbers add up to a multiple of 100.  (A sum equating to the number 100 itself also counts.)

A more organized way of thinking about it is:
  • One interstate
  • One non-interstate
  • Numbers add up to 100, 200, 300, etc.
I-76 + 224 = 300

Does this count, or does it have to be the actual Interstate itself?

I'm gonna copy this challenge, but I'll change it just a bit.

This should be fun.

Post edit: Found one. US-49 + US-63 + I-555. (3, 4, 5, 6, 9)

And another one. AR-5 + AR-321 + AR-367. (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7)

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.

1.  We did a challenge strikingly similar to this two months ago:

QuoteFebruary 25, 2018: 1 is the most common digit. Post road signs/assemblies (either is allowed) containing at least 5 different digits and no 1s.

2.  Can I use my own photo of the same sign assembly?  I can just post the same thing haha.

This photo gets right to the point near Pine Bluff, AR:

I have some shots of US61/WIS-35/WIS-81 on their own (they form a concurrency) but the inclusion of WIS-129 allows for some overachieving:

Not for the same Challenge; only one photo per answer is allowed (see Rule 6). But you could use your own photo of an assembly that someone else posted in a different Challenge.
