Title: Same Numbers, Different Shields
Post by: bassoon1986 on February 06, 2021, 03:24:28 PM
Where are places you see gantries or shields with 2 or more shields but immediately think of the same number set somewhere else on different shields?

Last week driving through Arkansas I came across AR 84 and AR 171 on I-30:

And I keep think of back home in Louisiana in Mansfield where these US routes share pavement:

What examples can you find? Let's not show many examples of the same route type. Like US 90/US 98 and the other 4 times they pair up.

I-40/US 64 in Raleigh (https://www.google.com/maps/@35.7542865,-78.6212578,3a,15.8y,80.37h,91.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s9NmwIVjVkIeH5z6y1lExCw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192) reminded me of I-64/US 40 in St. Louis (https://www.google.com/maps/@38.6293541,-90.3265987,3a,24.4y,120.9h,92.23t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1siaLmgSfqsNSft8CGxjxu3Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192)

I see it all the time in my area. We have a short concurrency of KY 11 and KY 52, and you'll find those two routes concurrent as US highways in Virginia.

KY 11 and KY 15 are concurrent in Powell County, and US 11 and US 15 are concurrent in Pennsylvania.

KY 70 and KY 76 intersect in Taylor County, and everyone loves Breezewood.  :bigass:

PA-30 and PA-34 coming together in Gettysburg, PA, reminds me of US30 and US34 coming together in Oswego, IL, where I grew up.

Is this a shield error? Gettysburg is on US 30.

Whoops, you're right. There was a shield error there, though.

Gettysburg, PA - Sign should be PA 34

The first link doesn't count because it shows two different speed limits on the same sign.

You were obviously going for the 40 and 70 pairs, so I'll take the second link (I-70/US 40) and add another link with the reverse (I-40/US 70).

I know, but it just reminds me of it since I see it everyday.

The forum owner pointed out on his FB page about I-22 & US 78 in AL and MS being the reverse of I-78 & US 22 in PA and NJ.

That's two of the I/US concurrencies or parallel routes that add up to 100 too. Could think of I-10/US 90, I-20/US 80 and I-75/US 25 for other ones that add to 100 off the top of my head. There's a lot that add up to 110 too, like I-90/US 20, I-80/US 30, I-70/US 40 and former I-44/US 66.

Until it was decommissioned west of Fargo, ND, you could also add I-90/US 10 through MT, ID, and WA.
