Title: Forty Six and 2
Post by: bugo on September 08, 2013, 04:00:02 PM
Are there any duplexes between a highway 46 and a highway 2?  One of my favorite songs of all time is "Forty Six and 2" by Tool.  A signed duplex with the 46 shield to the left of the highway 2 sign would be perfect.  It  doesn't matter if they are state, US, interstate, county road, or foreign highway.

Not an overlap, but just ahead of me: https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=47.339579,-93.814874&spn=0.022364,0.056691&gl=us&t=m&z=15&layer=c&cbll=47.339574,-93.815073&panoid=3nmfvBqhQHZh0gsxzRKnzw&cbp=12,145.72,,1,-1.88

NJ hasn't had a 2 since 1952, and PA hasn't had one for longer. DE never had a 46, and MD doesn't have one. NY's 2 is nowhere near 46. I just ruled out New England - only Maine has a 46, well away from US 2. I can also rule out Alaska and Hawaii, so that'll help compress your options.

OK-46 is on the opposite side of the state from OK-2.

K-46 is a spur from US-56 and intersects no other state highways.

MO-46 does not intersect MO-2.

IA-46 no longer exists.

M-46 and US-2 are on separate peninsulas.

Ohio has a 2 and a 46.....but they come nowhere near each other.....Ohio 2 ends east of Painseville, and about 30 miles away, Ohio 46 ends at Ohio 11 just south of Ashtabula....

I've roamed across Europe, and nothing either. German A46 and A2 run parallel, though.

Edit: I've found a concurrency of 46 and 2! E46 overlaps N2 on the bypass of Soissons in Northern France: https://maps.google.es/maps?ll=49.365719,3.311219&spn=0.015595,0.038581&t=m&z=15&layer=c&cbll=49.365948,3.310654&panoid=OBJ7n5AUaF_UCBGAw2SITA&cbp=12,65.14,,2,-5.42

Can't get to Google Maps links, but from the lat/lon I'm guessing what SPUI posted is where MN 46 ends at US 2.

Somebody needs to get a pic of the MN 46/US 2 sign so I can use it on my Facebook account as my timeline picture.

Jeremy:  dig through my website...might already have one on there.  Probably do, since it's a route termini.

The number 46 is spelled Forty-Six.  So the title of the song or album actually specifies three numbers: 40, 6, and Two.  Maybe.  I guess it's either missing a hyphen, or it's missing one or two commas. 

US 6 and OH 2 intersect near Huron, but they're nowhere near US 40.

No, it means "46" and "2".  The 46 refers to the 46 human chromosomes.

Using that formula, M-6 and M-40 both appear in the southwestern corner, but go nowhere near each other, plus M-40 and M-6 are not on the same peninsula as U.S. 2.
