Title: Two State Capitals on one guide
Post by: roadman65 on June 01, 2021, 10:26:36 AM

Being that I-20 is one of man roads that serves two consecutive state capitals with one large city in between it can actually have the rare occurrence of having them both appear as sole control cities on one particular sign panel.

Are there any other places that list two state capitals on one guide sign?

I-75's interchanges with I-275 and I-70 have Indianapolis and Columbus on a single BGS.

When I-90 EB leaves the NY thruway at Exit 24, I-90 has a BGS with Albany and Boston at exit 1N:

Originally all I-70 interchanges between Columbus and Indy had the chance for them to be together until both states started using Dayton as a control city.

Cheating a bit since it’s an APL, but Salt Lake (City) and Cheyenne appear on the same sign at the east end of SR 201 in South Salt Lake and I think a couple others on various approaches to that interchange.

(https://live.staticflickr.com/980/27460463097_61e416ec12_z.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/HQA3Yi)

(By the way, UDOT did put up an I-80 shield next to Reno a couple weeks after I took that photo. But you can tell it looks different from the three others.)

There's probably a sign or two on I-24 in Chattanooga with Nashville and Atlanta together.

Assuming the federal capital counts here as well, here's Washington/Richmond (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0314447,-76.9473128,3a,75y,230.64h,87.67t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s1Q7khOMdcc4m3RYJshNVCw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?hl=en) & Washington/Annapolis (https://www.google.com/maps/@38.9361527,-76.8551457,3a,75y,11.45h,90.26t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sXPqMIlkOxcR0Lbd3L3mhtg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?hl=en) both along I-95/495.

If you're approaching I-40 in Memphis, you may see a sign listing Nashville and Little Rock together:

Coming to it from Fort Smith, it would be Little Rock and Oklahoma City:

I think both RGT and the OP mean the same thing: a single panel, not different panels on the same overhead.

Otherwise, it would be much (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8551662,-84.1895514,3a,75y,7.67h,86.6t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sLdseel394Qbb9JBdGBTBFA!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DLdseel394Qbb9JBdGBTBFA%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D95.64082%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1) too (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.1682369,-85.0969412,3a,57.4y,271.64h,90.58t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sUsxFycJkrQ9V49Q6yrSF6A!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DUsxFycJkrQ9V49Q6yrSF6A%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D5.3037033%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1) common (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.6823442,-93.3141351,3a,75y,276.54h,84.48t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sgREWLwD9i4fN8SeKUSkJHw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!5m1!1e1) to be noteworthy.

But the example he gave was on two different signs.  That's what I was "challenging".

My bad, I didn't scroll back to see RGT's original post. Yes, I think the two capitals should be on the same panel if it's an overhead.

The OP said one guide, not one sign.

:hmmm:

The latter is much (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8551662,-84.1895514,3a,75y,7.67h,86.6t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sLdseel394Qbb9JBdGBTBFA!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DLdseel394Qbb9JBdGBTBFA%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D95.64082%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1) too (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.1682369,-85.0969412,3a,57.4y,271.64h,90.58t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sUsxFycJkrQ9V49Q6yrSF6A!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DUsxFycJkrQ9V49Q6yrSF6A%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D5.3037033%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1) common (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.6823442,-93.3141351,3a,75y,276.54h,84.48t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sgREWLwD9i4fN8SeKUSkJHw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!5m1!1e1) to (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.4817441,-73.6760096,3a,75y,85.79h,86.01t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1so8MnlRgV_uuVFGpr7jl6XQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!5m1!1e1) be (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.7912666,-72.5696894,3a,75y,148.08h,91.18t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1skbR3IfEs-RTI5RiPklXPyQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1) noteworthy (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.7103332,-112.1927473,3a,45.5y,178.26h,91.83t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sdljqT0GTkC8o54qwmmUZdg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1).

Then there's also the tangential question of which capitals are NEVER on the same panel (or even signed at the same location) as another capital.

My guess without verifying:
Juneau
Phoenix
Tallahassee
Honolulu
Springfield
Topeka
Frankfort
Baton Rouge
Augusta
Annapolis (unless you count Washington)
Jackson
Jefferson City
Helena
Lincoln
Trenton
Santa Fe
Raleigh
Bismarck
Salem
Harrisburg
Pierre
Austin
Richmond (unless you count Washington)
Olympia
Charleston




On a side note, here's a single panel for Sacramento and Carson City. (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.5340823,-119.7724427,3a,75y,293.87h,94.51t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sJH_VhlrlLzuDljPilEswoA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192)

Being that I-20 is one of man roads that serves two consecutive state capitals with one large city in between it can actually have the rare occurrence of having them both appear as sole control cities on one particular sign panel.

Are there any other places that list two state capitals on one guide sign?

I'm not sure, but I would think that WB I-80 at I-580 in Reno would have a pull through for Sacramento and an exit for Carson City. It may be that SB US-395 (which becomes I-580) near I-80 in Reno would have a pull through for Carson City, and interchanges onto I-80 for Sacramento and Salt Lake.

[see list below]

You knew someone would have to try and find some of these:

Juneau - none
Phoenix - none
Tallahassee - can't find any, frustratingly, but I'll keep looking
Honolulu - none
Springfield - on the same overhead as Indy here (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.1154716,-88.3048313,3a,75y,353.43h,85.58t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sZcUvXZoSC7gDW3SDsdvbzQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1)
Topeka - none on the same overhead as Oklahoma City at I-35/I-335 (see posts below); Topeka also should be signed at this exit (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6540013,-95.8532095,3a,75y,257.91h,82.14t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sOQFATI_7awinKNRhOH4HaA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!5m1!1e1)

Annapolis (unless you count Washington) - so close (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1429171,-75.9246748,3a,75y,200.97h,84.92t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sTtAx8oRsNYlCU6T9SPjDPw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!5m1!1e1) if only they used Annapolis instead of "Bay Bridge"...
Jackson - see Baton Rouge; see also here (https://www.google.com/maps/@35.1558929,-90.1522208,3a,75y,117.17h,89.16t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1srv8Nov-Q0uEUtWnglWaX4Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1); Little Rock/Jackson might exist as well (it does; see posts below)
Jefferson City - none unless you count the cheap version using Columbia, MO here (https://www.google.com/maps/@38.7743449,-92.2541046,3a,37.5y,114.98h,86.21t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sjTA0K-zWHO-bB0gwbzaWmw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DjTA0K-zWHO-bB0gwbzaWmw%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D252.67097%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656!5m1!1e1)

Trenton - there's got to be one with Harrisburg somewhere; this (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.1310695,-74.9664544,3a,75y,293.16h,78.96t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s_xulM61TRSZ9FIlUEeAxAQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1) would be a great spot for a pull-through
Santa Fe - none, unless there's something with Denver along I-25
Raleigh - signed at the I-95/US 64 junction along with Richmond, but never on the same overhead
Bismarck - none, sadly. I-94 uses Minneapolis instead of St. Paul/Twin Cities, and Pierre isn't used that far north
Salem - none
Harrisburg - see Trenton
Pierre - none
Austin - none, unless there is somewhere in the DFW area with Oklahoma City, but TXDOT seems to prefer Waco/Denton
Richmond (unless you count Washington) - see Raleigh
Olympia - none
Charleston - none unless you count the cheap version using Charleston, SC here (https://www.google.com/maps/@33.3135927,-80.5512759,3a,75y,28.51h,85.11t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sGdKFJ9l66-8QFE-wuwWD3Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1)
