Title: XY Challenge
Post by: paulthemapguy on November 20, 2024, 09:55:32 PM
HOW TO PLAY:

Post a photo of signage indicating a junction between two routes having the requested criteria.  The criteria will specify the type of routes and the digits that the route numbers must have. For example, January 3rd's requirement will be photos showing a junction of a route ending in 0 and a route ending 2 from your state. Your task is to post a photo of route markers that point out the requested junction. Each day will call for photos showing route numbers with different criteria.

RULES:

1. All photos posted must show signage indicating a junction between two routes having numbers whose digits meet the requirement for that day, unless a big exit sign found along an expressway is posted. Expressway signage must show one of the requested routes, and it must be found along an expressway numbered within the other requested criteria (sticklers can use GSV to verify).
2. Up to three photos may be posted each day, as long as each photo shows a distinct example of a junction of routes that meets the day's requested criteria.
3. Other routes unrelated to the satisfaction of the day's criteria may also appear in qualifying photos.
4. Permitted junctions include intersections, interchanges, concurrencies, and overpasses with connector roads, so long as those connector roads are signed.
5. The only permitted route types are state, provincial, Interstate, and US highways, plus equivalent route types in other countries.
6. Photos posted may be photos taken at any time in the past.
7. If you're from a small state and you wish to combine with surrounding states, I'll allow that. (i.e. New Englanders can encompass all of New England)
8. If you're from a Canadian province and you wish to post signs from your province, that is hereby explicitly allowed.
9. If you wish to claim another state as "your state", you may consistently post all your submissions in one particular season from that other state (added challenge for those who want it).
10. Participants are invited to post full charts similar to the ones I completed below during the "break" periods that occur at the tail end of every even-numbered month.

SCHEDULE:

Within each two-month period, requested route types will remain consistent, and only the criteria for route numbers will change. Each two-month period, or "season" will start out at 0-0 (X=0 and Y=0), and the second digit (Y) will increase until it gets to 9. Next, we move to 1-1, and the second digit increases to 9. Then, we do 2-2 to 2-9, then 3-3 to 3-9, then 4-4 to 4-9, etc. As there are 55 possible combinations of two digits (without reversal/repetition), this will go on for 55 days.

Season 1, in January and February: I specify the ones digits, and you post the junction of any two routes in your state with those ones digits.
Season 2, in March and April: I specify the tens digits, and you post the junction of any two routes in your state with those tens digits.
Season 3, in May and June: I specify the ones digits, and you post the junction of any two US routes that you have been to having those ones digits.
Season 4, in July and August: I specify the tens digits, and you post the junction of any two US routes that you have been to having those tens digits.
Season 5, in September and October: I specify the ones digits, and you post the junction of an Interstate and any other route having those ones digits.
Season 6, in November and December: I specify the tens digits, and you post the junction of an Interstate and any other route having those tens digits.

Background on the origin of the game:

Let's face it, a lot of us in the road enthusiast community like lists and numbers. I sure do, and I figured I would share the little numerical exercise I've been subjecting myself to, involving route numbers:

I was thinking if I'd been to a point where a route ending in 1 meets a route ending in 2. Then I thought of such a point, where US51 meets US62! Then, what about a point where a route ending in 1 meets a route ending in 3?  US11 and US43 in Tuscaloosa!  Okay, then what about 1 and 4? 1 and 5? What if I tried to complete the set? And it led me to ask the question:

Have you been to an intersection of two routes, one with a number ending in X, and one with a number ending in Y, for every possible combination of digits X and Y?

For example, think of a junction of a route ending in 0 and a route ending in 1 that you've been to. Think of a junction of a route ending in 0 and a route ending in 2 that you've been to. And so on, for all 55 combinations of digits.

Then, to take things further, I'll try to think of a route with X in the tens place meeting a route with Y in the tens place, for every combination of X and Y.

You can do this with any route system or any state or province.  It's really up to you! Try it with your home state or province, or if you're feeling bold, try it with the US highway system.  With Interstates, it's pretty much impossible to complete the set because there aren't enough Interstates ending in 2 or 8. But you can try to do the best you can!  It's a nice low-key exercise, and it's more of a marathon, like completing a sudoku or something. Here is an example of me thinking of junctions where routes ending in X meet routes ending in Y, for routes in my home state of Illinois, with combinations of the tens digits as well:

Here is an example of me thinking of all the combinations of digits for the US highway system:

Each cell represents an intersection of two routes having the digits specified. The grid on the left is based on every combination of ones digits. The grid on the right represents tens digits. 3-digit numbers are honored here, too. Single-digit route numbers are assumed to have a tens digit of "zero". A qualifying junction can be a crossing, a T-intersection, an interchange, or a concurrency (I have a hard time accepting routes that pass over/under each other).

Feel free to try your hand at this for any region or route system you choose! Drawing the route symbols is totally unnecessary; it's just something I like to do.  You can use THIS LINK to access a blank chart (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UYlMoogmAN-loV9xN4CvTaD3XohcMpYo/view?usp=sharing) to print out. Alternately, you can take the spreadsheet AT THIS LINK (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kxoQBjCjRY7Vtug0D4cBinZi5ZZMPmqC56WCQhoXnik/edit?usp=sharing) and save a copy to complete your inputs using the computer.

I'm going to try and make this a daily photo challenge throughout 2025.  The challenge will be to post the intersection, interchange, or concurrency between two routes having numbers that fit the criteria.

January and February: I specify the ones digits, and you post the junction of any two routes in your state with those ones digits.
March and April: I specify the tens digits, and you post the junction of any two routes in your state with those tens digits.
May and June: I specify the ones digits, and you post the junction of any two US routes that you have been to having those ones digits.
July and August: I specify the tens digits, and you post the junction of any two US routes that you have been to having those tens digits.
Sept-Oct: I specify the ones digits, and you post the junction of an Interstate and any other route having those ones digits.
Nov-Dec: I specify the tens digits, and you post the junction of an Interstate and any other route having those tens digits.

The challenge will occupy the first 55 days of each two-month set, and the pairs of digits will start at 0-0 and go to 0-9. Then 1-1 to 1-9. Then 2-2 to 2-9. And so on and so forth, until we finish up with 8-8, 8-9, and 9-9.

Commencing Season 1: The Ones Digits of Routes In Your State!

First up, the challenge on January 1, 2025, will be to find a route ending in 0 connecting with another route ending in 0 in your state. The route can be a state highway, US highway, or Interstate highway, and the mode of connection can be an interchange, an intersection, or a concurrency. (An overpass with a signed connector road between the two routes (https://maps.app.goo.gl/9wbm3qnRoSkQz72QA) counts as a valid interchange.)

Here's an example from my state to get us started: US Route 150 and Illinois 180 both end in zero (https://flic.kr/p/24sKQVi). Post a photo and a little caption telling us which two routes we're looking at.

Post by: paulthemapguy on January 01, 2025, 12:41:11 AM
As it is past midnight in the Eastern Time Zone, Happy New Year, and let the game begin!  For January 1, post route signage at a junction where a route ending in 0 meets another route ending in 0 in your state. If we want to be picky, valid routes are US highways, Interstate highways, and state highways, and valid junctions are intersections, interchanges, and concurrencies. If you want to show off a bit, I'll allow up to 3 photos showing examples of the requested sign photos per day. Other routes can be present in the photo, as long as two of them form the pair we're looking for.

If you are unsure of the schedule indicating which sign photos are expected on each day, see here:

Nice, you caught on early--when a day asks for the same last digit twice, an easy way to slam-dunk is to post the point where a child route meets its parent route.

Starting at midnight, January 2's requirement will be a route ending in 0 meeting a route ending in 1 in your state.

To restate, today's challenge is to find places where a route ending in 0 meets a route ending in 1 in your state. Here are my Illinois examples for the day.

US150 meets the west end of IL-81, a few miles south of Orion, Illinois:

A few more little non-prohibitive rules:

- If you're from a small state and you wish to combine with surrounding states, I'll allow that.
- If you're from a Canadian province and you wish to post signs from your province, that is hereby explicitly allowed.
- If you wish to claim another state as "your state", you may consistently post all your submissions in season 1 and/or season 2 from that other state (added challenge for those who want it).

Also, if mods believe this thread would be better suited for the category of "Traffic Control", "Photos, Videos & More", or "Travel", feel free to migrate this thread to the preferred location. I will be updating the OP to be more of a one-stop shop for all the rules and guidelines.

Good, you all have caught on to how the requested numbers change from day to day. I'm going to start posting the next three days' challenges at the end of my posts so you know what to expect the next day, in case I don't jump on here early in the morning (I am out of state currently). Note that after the 0-9 day on January 10th, January 11th will move to 1-1, then 1-2, 1-3, etc.

January 5: Post a route ending in 0 meeting a route ending in 4 in your state.

As a real softball for Illinois, here's I-90 and I-94 in Chicago:

Just got home after a long day of travel, so I'm posting my entry here at the end of the day! Thanks to formulanone for putting the quoted banner up top to help people understand today's challenge.

So I need a route ending in 0 meeting a route ending in 5 in my state.

Albion is where you'll find IL-15 and IL-130 coming together for a short concurrency.

The way FDOT signs intersections of numbered routes, it can be difficult to find an assembly showing both numbers. Typically there is not a shield posted for the continuation of a route. However, I found where a U.S. 301 shield for the continuation for the route was at least posted (and within view).

The two routes exclusive to Henry County meet at the county seat of Cambridge; they are IL-81 and IL-82:

Note that the digits coinciding with the digits of the date is purely a coincidence, but this coincidence will carry until the 19th!

Somehow I keep finding suitable junctions in Illinois where the tens digits match. Here is IL-91 at IL-93 southeast of Kewanee:

Unfortunately, the only 1-8 junction photo I have for Oregon also works for 1-3, so I already posted it on the 13th.  If I'd had a chance, I would've gotten a different photo today for the same junction on my way back from golf, but thanks to a slow foursome ahead of us making the round clock in at 5 hr 20 min, it got dark before I could get there.  (I know, I know: TMI in that tearful tale of woe.)

So here's that photo again, now for OR 221 and OR 18:

When I have a lot of choices to narrow down to 3 to post for this thread, I try to find things that are more interesting, like large numbers, a number and its reverse, short routes others are less likely to have seen, something close to home, etc.  My US 62/New York 425 would have been the largest number that works, but the US 62 in the photo is almost completely obscured by a pedestrian crossing signal.  Oh well.  Here's what I've chosen for today's x2/x5 combos.

Not my place to make a ruling, but I'd think any route counts.  I was planning on using BUS 99E tomorrow, which is both bannered & suffixed, so I'd like an answer to the question, too.

As for today, January 26: Post a junction of a route number ending in 2 and a route number ending in 8, in your state.

Dammit, Paul, you've created an obsession.  My life is this challenge.  I lay awake nights thinking about possible photos for future dates.  I want to quit my day job and do nothing but love my wife, pet my cat, and pore over maps and through my photo collection to get things lined up for future dates.  Either you're cruel, or I'm pathetic, or both.

Anyway...

Quote from: paulthemapguy on January 27, 2025, 09:35:27 AMJanuary 28: Post the junction of a route ending in 3 and another route ending in 3, in your state.

Now, Oregon has no actual 3-3 junctions anywhere in the state. But I'm going to take advantage of a technicality so I don't fail the challenge today (like wanderer2575, this has become something of an obsession to me!).

In Dallas, OR 223 (Kings Valley Hwy #191) junctions with Dallas-Rickreall Hwy #189, before continuing north to end on OR 22 just north of town. 

Unlike other state-maintained highways that had no corresponding Route, back in 2002-2003, Hwy #189 was not designated as Route 189.  Instead, ODOT now signs Hwy #189 as if it were a branch of OR 223.  To illustrate: here's what the east ends of Hwy #189 look like in Rickreall:

(https://i.imgur.com/gmKFp5T.png?1)  (https://i.imgur.com/fJRWMxd.jpg)

And in Dallas, there's this somewhat ambiguous signage on northbound 223, where the route seemingly goes both North and East from the intersection:

(https://i.imgur.com/dTca8Ia.png?1)

So basically ODOT treats Hwy #189 as if it's SPUR 223, and I have seen it referred to as that in some other sources, even though it is never specifically signed with a SPUR banner.  Thus, I'm going to consider it to be SPUR 223, and call the last photo the junction of OR 223 and SPUR OR 223 for today's submission.  Boom.

If you think this was sketchy, just wait until 4-8 day!

I love to see the implications that you and @wanderer2575, potentially among others, have built lists or databases for this thread. Many roadgeeks are systematizers who love making lists and completing sets, especially ones based on numbers.  I am one of those roadgeeks, and I knew there would be others out there, particularly others who also like taking pictures out on the road. Thank you for participating, as I made this thread for people with brains like yours (and mine)!

Today's goal:
January 28- Post a route ending in 3 meeting another route ending in 3, in your state.

When both digits are the same, it can be difficult to find intersections that fit the bill. If your state likes to create branch routes named after a parent route (e.g. 23 and 223), that can make things easier on the days with repeat digits. Otherwise, it gets tougher. (The hardest day for me in Illinois will be [8,8].)

January 30: Post the junction of a route ending in 3 and a route ending in 5, in your state.
January 31: Post the junction of a route ending in 3 and a route ending in 6, in your state.

As a bit of foreshadowing, Season 2 will begin on March 1, starting over at [0,0]. The junctions requested will be in your state as well, but the criteria will be to satisfy a pair of tens digits. On March 1, when the requested digits are 0 and 0, a valid post could be something like Route 1 and Route 9, Route 203 and Route 3, or Route 108 and Route 4. The junction of a route number with X in the tens place and a number with Y in the tens place will be requested throughout March and April. Single-digit numbers will be assumed to have a 0 in the tens place.

One other thing I forgot to mention in my rant the other day:  I intend to consciously try not repeating junctions during this challenge, which -- if I were to really let myself go -- gives it a certain Yahtzee-like quality in that many junctions fit into more than one challenge category and I have to decide which one to use.  This is just too much.

Okay...

I had to eventually start thinking ahead.  It was a strain every day to mentally go through Oregon routes ending in one of the numbers to find if it junctioned with a route ending in the other digit, and then if I had a picture of that junction.  It's much easier now that I've thought ahead and uploaded the photos I'll need to Imgur for the next few days beforehand.

I don't know that repeated digit days are any tougher.  There are just two combinations, 3-3 and 4-8, that either don't occur in Oregon or I lacked pictures of.  However, I don't want to admit defeat, so I felt I had to come up with something on those days.

I originally thought there would be more combinations missing here, or that I wouldn't have photos for some.  It was a surprise to me that there were only two.

On to business!

If you are curious about the details of each photo, note that the last letter in the filename is the direction the camera and drivers are facing when looking at the signage depicted. (So eastbound travelers on IL-154 see those signs in the 153/154 photo.)

The next three days:
January 30: Post the junction of a route ending in 3 and a route ending in 5, in your state.
January 31: Post the junction of a route ending in 3 and a route ending in 6, in your state.

Note that the rows on the chart will get shorter; that is, the 5s will only last for 5 days, the 6s will last for 4 days, and the 7s will last for 3 days. Then it's only 8-8, 8-9, and 9-9 left. Once that's done, the game will pause, and the second season will begin on March 1. The second season will be the same as the first, but we will focus on the tens digit of the route number rather than the last digit.  In other words, when Season 2 calls for the digits of 1 and 8, you'll need to find a route with a 1 in the tens place and a route with an 8 in the tens place, like 17-82 or 113-185.

Note that the rows on the chart will get shorter; that is, the 5s will only last for 5 days, the 6s will last for 4 days, and the 7s will last for 3 days. Then it's only 8-8, 8-9, and 9-9 left. Once that's done, the game will pause, and the second season will begin on March 1. The second season will be the same as the first, but we will focus on the tens digit of the route number rather than the last digit.  In other words, when Season 2 calls for the digits of 1 and 8, you'll need to find a route with a 1 in the tens place and a route with an 8 in the tens place, like 17-82 or 113-185.

Alas, Oregon has no 4-8 junctions of signed routes. Historically, there was at least one, but OR 54 and US 28 disappeared from the map a long time ago.

So I was planning on being sketchy and go with the junction of OR 18 and Lafayette Highway #154 (OR 233 at that junction).  But I decided that took things too far.

However, since no one seems to be posting Idaho pics here, I'll just head over to our neighbor and give you BL-84 and ID 78 in Hammett:

I try not to use the same route in two pairs, but I also need to represent my home town's old sign for New York 5 and New York 67 northbound on New York 30. Taken in Amsterdam on November 5, 2016, before the bridge work that resulted in the sign's demise (as well as much more frequent and lengthy backups on the bridge from the dropping of a lane) in the early 2020's.

As a bonus that maybe doesn't quite fit: Quebec's A-15 and I-87 meet at the border, and this is the sign I have that I think was taken closest to it.  In Champlain, April 25, 2009.

I-65 lets SR 69 hitch a ride in Cullman; though historically, this alignment of SR 69 was here first. (Then again, it wouldn't be there if Smith Lake hadn't been formed, flooding its original alignment.) Up ahead is Alabama's last northbound rest stop on I-65, so the rare overlap and mile marker 300 designation is quite convenient!

I looked around, but Alabama has no intersections of routes which both ending with 6, unless one uses the hidden route designations. There's no US Route ending in 6 and many of Alabama's x6 state routes are quite short.

The western end of SR 106 was truncated to become CR 106 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/xkThuWJpRijRfvLy8?g_st=ic), but that seems outside the spirit of the rules. It's not really an intersection, after all. US 82 is hidden SR 6 (https://wiki.aaroads.com/wiki/U.S._Route_82_in_Alabama)...but I played this one already for 2-6.

I did live in Florida for a while, and the busiest 6-6 interchange is where SR 826 and SR 836 meet; the mile marker has the "836" on it, located west of Miami:

None of these posts are from the Chicagoland area! It probably isn't the first time all three photos have been from outside Chicagoland, but I wanted to point it out.

Illinois 18 and Illinois 26 in a wild, wooded area, where you'd never guess that a sizeable town named Henry lies right across the river.

February 24: Post the junction of a route ending in 9 and a different route ending in 9, in your state/province.

February 25-28: The game will take a short break. During this break, feel free to post any charts or summaries encompassing the whole state or a certain route system, as exemplified in this thread's original post. This includes a summary of what we have just posted for these first two months!

On March 1, the game with start at 0-0 with a new criterion: routes from your state or province again, but with a focus on the tens digit of the route number, rather than the last digit. On this day, we will want junctions of two separate routes, each of which have a 0 as the tens digit. To be clear, single-digit numbers will be considered valid as numbers with a 0 in the tens digit.

For example, on March 21, the digits requested will be 2 and 3 for the tens place. Valid combinations of route numbers could be 128 and 33, 27 and 139, or 525 and 434. Just so everyone is clear on what to do.

The focus on one's own state or province will end in late April, as the game will shift focus to the US highway system in May. People will be allowed to post photos taken in any state.

I was late to the party and didn't join in until 0-9 day, so unless someone objects, I may post make-up photos from Oregon during this break for the days I missed.  As I'm a retired teacher, it's only fair you allow me to turn in late homework, after I had to accept it from students for years!  :banghead:

However, I might also be traveling then and not able to post, so no promises, either.  I may just have to accept the low grade.

On March 1, the game with start at 0-0 with a new criterion: routes from your state or province again, but with a focus on the tens digit of the route number, rather than the last digit. On this day, we will want junctions of two separate routes, each of which have a 0 as the tens digit. To be clear, single-digit numbers will be considered valid as numbers with a 0 in the tens digit.

For example, on March 21, the digits requested will be 2 and 3 for the tens place. Valid combinations of route numbers could be 128 and 33, 27 and 139, or 525 and 434. Just so everyone is clear on what to do.

The focus on one's own state or province will end in late April, as the game will shift focus to the US highway system in May. People will be allowed to post photos taken in any state.

February 23: Post a junction of a route ending in 8 and a route ending in 9, in your state/province.

Tomorrow is the (9,9) day, then we've finished the chart!  On March 1, we start at (0,0) with a focus on the tens digit of the routes' numbers, rather than the last digit. Photos posted should still be taken in your home state or province.

For now, here's a shot taken along IL-62 where it meets IL-68 and IL-59 in the Barrington Hills area:

That concludes Season 1!  Season 2 will begin at (0,0) on March 1, with a focus on the tens digits of the route numbers. Single-digit numbers will qualify as numbers with a 0 in the tens place. Valid plays will include numbers like 4, 7, 106, 109, 202, 208, etc.

Until March 1, feel free to post any charts, retrospectives, or summaries of route number combinations you've seen or photographed. See the original post for more information.

March 1: Post a junction of a route with a zero in the tens place and another route with a zero in the tens place, in your state or province.
March 2: Post a junction of a route with a zero in the tens place and a route with a 1 in the tens place, in your state or province.

Neither are parent-child routes, 269 follows a far different route to Jasper from I-20/59 and I suppose that was the next odd number available. 279 was a former section of US 72.

Tomorrow is March 1, which means it is the beginning of Season 2! Season 2 will also call for junctions of routes within your home state or province, but the criteria will focus on the tens digit of the route numbers involved. This differs from Season 1, when a route number's eligibility was based on its final (ones) digit. We begin Season 2 on March 1st with the eligible tens digits set at 0 and 0. This means we'll want to see a junction of two separate routes, each with a distinct number with a 0 in the tens place. Eligible numbers will include 1-9, 100-109, 200-209, 300-309, etc. As an example, I'll just tell you what I plan to post tomorrow:

1. Illinois 4 at Illinois 108 in Carlinville.
2. Illinois 100 at Illinois 104 near Meredosia.
3. Illinois 1 at US Route 6 in Harvey.

Here is what the next 14 days will hold:
March 1: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 0 in the tens place meeting another route whose number has a 0 in the tens place.
March 2: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 0 in the tens place meeting a route whose number has a 1 in the tens place.
March 3: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 0 in the tens place meeting a route whose number has a 2 in the tens place.
March 4: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 0 in the tens place meeting a route whose number has a 3 in the tens place.
March 5: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 0 in the tens place meeting a route whose number has a 4 in the tens place.
March 6: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 0 in the tens place meeting a route whose number has a 5 in the tens place.
March 7: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 0 in the tens place meeting a route whose number has a 6 in the tens place.
March 8: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 0 in the tens place meeting a route whose number has a 7 in the tens place.
March 9: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 0 in the tens place meeting a route whose number has a 8 in the tens place.
March 10: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 0 in the tens place meeting a route whose number has a 9 in the tens place.
March 11: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 1 in the tens place meeting another route whose number has a 1 in the tens place.
March 12: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 1 in the tens place meeting a route whose number has a 2 in the tens place.
March 13: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 1 in the tens place meeting a route whose number has a 3 in the tens place.
March 14: Post a junction of a route whose number has a 1 in the tens place meeting a route whose number has a 4 in the tens place.

This will require slightly different thinking than in January and February. Happy posting!

I decided I would deliberately handicap myself to begin round 2, and try to only use routes that have an actual 0 in the tens place, unless it's absolutely necessary to use a single-digit route.  I have little confidence I can stick to this, though.

I also decided that while I'd probably have to re-use junctions I used in round 1, I would at least try to post different photos of those.  Oregon's system of signed routes isn't extensive enough.  As it is, I think I'll have some real problems towards the end of round 2 finding examples of every possible combo.

So with that being said, I'll kick off round 2 with OR 206 and OR 207 in Ruggs:

Alabama only posts 4, 5, and 9 for single-digits; even then, SR 4 tags along US 78 and is erratically posted. US 78 leaves I-22 along with AL 4 to join AL 5, but this is also unposted. While Alabama SR 4 shields can be found along the concurrency of US 78 and I-22, they don't seem to leave the mainline along with AL 5, the best chances for two single-digit routes to posted together in the state.

Where did 4 and 5 go?

(https://live.staticflickr.com/4609/39626222472_855bdaf24d_b.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/23nCKoh)

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48083244542_d5fcd156b3_b.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2gfXcpC)

The other single-digits are used for US 231, US 72, US 31, US 82, US 11, and US 80, respectively. For "x0y" routes, only one has a meetup, 605 and 109.

But...the 109 isn't posted (https://maps.app.goo.gl/mGZSNEnsTkPchTvN9?g_st=ic), which is  atypical for ALDOT.

March 1: Post the junction of a route with a 0 in the tens place and another route with a 0 in the tens place, in your state/province.

As promised, here are the three photos I was going to post today.

Quote from: paulthemapguy on February 28, 2025, 12:42:39 PM1. Illinois 4 at Illinois 108 in Carlinville.
2. Illinois 100 at Illinois 104 near Meredosia.
3. Illinois 1 at US Route 6 in Harvey.

There are only 4 of these in Oregon, but I only have pictures of two of them, and I used my only pic of I-5 and OR 164 in round 1.  So I give you today's sole photo of I-5 and OR 569:

(https://i.imgur.com/AdYsttf.png?1)

The "OR 569 East/Beltline Hwy" sign is pretty pointless, since OR 569/Beltline Hwy ends one block east of the interchange.  And these signs were up only a matter of a few months before the Transportation Commission decided to rename Beltline Hwy to the Randy Papé Beltline in honor of a former commission member, so these virtually new signs got replaced.

AFAIK, there is only one place in Oregon where a 4 in the tens place meets a 1 in the tens place, and that's the junction of OR 141 and OR 210 in Beaverton. 

However, OR 141 is completely unsigned, and probably never will be since the sections of it ODOT maintains are now discontinuous.  So while I have a photo of the intersection where OR 141 begins, there is no 141 shield to be seen.

In the photo, OR 141 begins taking Hall Blvd to the left. Going straight is OR 210, which leads to an interchange with OR 217 in a couple blocks.

So this is OR 210 and OR 141:

(https://i.imgur.com/oaV64Wx.jpg)

OR 10 and OR 43 come close enough together that there are some assemblies carrying both shields:

The only example I know of in Oregon is the western terminus of OR 153 at OR 18 in Bellevue. Here's what that looks actually looks like, from the POV of westbound 153:

(https://i.imgur.com/ra1Jtxv.jpg)

Unfortunately, OR 153 is not signed at this junction, or anywhere near it.  In fact, the route is barely signed at all, with just two shields posted way over by its eastern terminus:

(https://i.imgur.com/H8F3Sk1.jpg)  (https://i.imgur.com/7luPFDT.jpg)

So I figured I'd have a little fun with GIMP, and doctor the first photo to show how that west terminus should look:

I can finally share photos from Oregon again, since the state features four of these junctions and I have photos of two of them.

OR 19 and I-84, Arlington (this photo was also used in round 1):

OR 414 and OR 86, Halfway:

As of my last visit in 2021, OR 414 was completely unsigned, but it is the road continuing straight ahead in the photo. It's also only about a mile long, so ODOT might consider it too insignificant to post shields for it.

So I'll do it: here's another GIMP-doctored photo of what this intersection should look like:

This will be another underwhelming Oregon post. We have exactly one thirties-fifties junction, that of OR 233 and OR 154 west of Dayton.  Here's what that looks like:

(https://i.imgur.com/VkS3P6m.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/jjSFg74.jpg)

In the 1st photo, southbound OR 233 comes in from the right, makes a right turns, and continues straight ahead, while OR 154 begins to the left.  The 2nd photo is from the perspective of southbound OR 233, so it continues to the right in the photo while OR 154 begins straight ahead.

Note that neither view has any route signage whatsoever, and southbound 233 doesn't even have any destination signage at the intersection (or leading up to it), so the unwary motorist wanting to stay on 233 won't know to turn right here.

If they do fail to turn and continue straight ahead, in a few hundred yards they will see this 154 route marker:

(https://i.imgur.com/JZpLy1X.jpg)

and hopefully will figure out they're now on the wrong highway and missed the turn for 233.

There isn't any route signage coming from the other 2 directions, either, but at least those have green destination signage.  In the past, there were 233 shields with directional arrows, but those were removed at some point, leaving the borderline-criminally undersigned intersection we have today.

I'll be missing out the next few days because I'll be traveling. I might make up for the missing days after Round 2 ends like I did after Round 1.  Although I guess I won't need to for Tuesday, since Oregon has no forties-eighties junctions.

There's a US 72 that runs from Chattanooga to Memphis; it primarily runs north of the Tennessee River. The "US 72 Alternate" runs from AL 53 (at US 72) in Huntsville, and runs south of the Tennessee River, to meet up with US Routes 43/72 in Muscle Shoals.

So the Appalachian Development Corridor runs along Alterate US 72 for this stretch, not that Corridor V has an "Alternate" routing.

This one's easy to accomplish in Illinois, because for some reason, all the routes in the 70s are confined to the northern edge of the state, along with IL-173 and IL-176.

I know I said this would require US routes specifically, but I want to see if people will be okay if I broaden the criteria a little bit. I am curious if people would like it better if I allowed junctions between US routes and/or Interstates, but not anything at the state level or lower in profile. So under the new rules I'm proposing, junctions between US-US, Interstate-Interstate, or US-Interstate would qualify. Should we do this, or stick with US Routes only?

Might as well allow it, since there's not a specific challenge for those routes.

I vote yes for including interstates.

Here are some make-up photos for days I missed.

For 40-90 day, OR 42 and OR 99 in Winston,followed by OR 240 and OR 99W in Newberg:

(https://i.imgur.com/PxECo5j.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/1vbNFrJ.jpg)


For 50-50 day, OR 153 and OR 154 meet near Hopewell.  There is no signage at the actual intersection indicating straight ahead is the start of 154 -- you have to drive about a mile to see the first confirming OR 154 shield:

(https://i.imgur.com/7luPFDT.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/3Y1k9cE.jpg?1)

So via the magic of GIMP, here's how the junction SHOULD appear:

(https://i.imgur.com/sOQzMmZ.jpg)


Oregon has no 50-60 or 50-70 junctions. Here are examples of those from neighboring Idaho:

(https://i.imgur.com/Np1JXfD.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/NCg5kTc.jpg)

For 50-80, there is a triple junction of OR 350, OR 351 and  OR 82 in Joseph.  Unfortunately, as of Oct 2023, OR 350 and OR 351 remained unsigned, but here's what that junction looks like:

(https://i.imgur.com/fpLaPX4.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/El66mcb.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/QEjYXLQ.jpg)

1st photo is from 351 north, which ends here, looking at the start of 82 straight ahead and 350 to the right. 2nd photo is from the perspective of 350 west showing 82 starting to the right.  3rd photo is from 82 east showing the start of 351 straight ahead, with 350 heading off to the left.

Finally, Oregon has no 60-80 or 70-70 junctions. So I'll turn to Arizona for some examples of those:

I think I will keep May through August focused on US highways only. It was my original plan for this challenge to only allow junctions of US highways meeting other US highways, but I chose an easier challenge for the first bout of this series of photo challenges, to drum up interest. You don't get people to play your game if you start out on hard mode!

On May 1, we will start at zero and zero, as per usual. But throughout May and June, the ones digit of the highway will have the criteria you must heed. The first 19 days might be slightly easier, as the US highways ending in 0 and 1 are more prominent with more branch routes overall. After that, things might get more difficult. We are searching nationwide for US highway junctions that fit the bill.

As a preview for what to expect for the first several days of May, when Season 3 begins:

May 1: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 0 and another US highway ending in 0, anywhere in the USA.
May 2: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 0 and a US highway ending in 1, anywhere in the USA.
May 3: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 0 and a US highway ending in 2, anywhere in the USA.
May 4: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 0 and a US highway ending in 3, anywhere in the USA.
May 5: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 0 and a US highway ending in 4, anywhere in the USA.
May 6: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 0 and a US highway ending in 5, anywhere in the USA.
May 7: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 0 and a US highway ending in 6, anywhere in the USA.
May 8: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 0 and a US highway ending in 7, anywhere in the USA.
May 9: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 0 and a US highway ending in 8, anywhere in the USA.
May 10: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 0 and a US highway ending in 9, anywhere in the USA.
May 11: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 1 and another US highway ending in 1, anywhere in the USA.

With US highways, if the challenge calls for two highways ending in the same digit, you can look for a junction where a 3-digit US highway meets its parent route. When both digits are odd or both digits are even, the challenges might get very tricky.  I'll save the involvement of Interstates for Seasons 5 and 6 in September through December!

I don't think Canada and Quebec have a national system other than Autoroutes and a few Trans-Canada highways?

I'd imagine Paul would be okay with a similar format, as long as it's consistent.

I would say that Autoroutes and Ontario 400-series routes would probably belong in seasons 5 and 6, not 3 and 4.

E-routes could probably go in seasons 3 and 4, though.

I don't know how to expand this concept to include highways in other countries. If both routes in the photo are part of a nationwide highway system, I think we can allow that. But I don't think that opens a lot of options for Canada in particular.

Interesting that we've already had a twice-posted pair of routes (50/150).  It stands to reason that we might be stepping on each other's toes since we're all now sharing the same pool.  For example, I also have photos of 50/400, 160/350, 20/310 and 70/380.

That being said, y'all did leave me a few good ones today.  Here's US 20 and US 30 (along with US 26 and I-84) near Mountain Home, ID:

Nothing wrong with posting a combination that's already been posted before! When we get to certain combinations of digits like 2-2 and 8-8, the options will be relatively scant. Things will get more difficult when we pull away from 0 and 1, so I will be floored if we don't see repeats.

This will be the easiest day of the whole season, I think. 0s and 1s are the most common, and odd-even combinations are the most likely to intersect each other. Even-even and odd-odd will be more difficult. Let's see how great of a diversity of intersections we can share today!

Back when I lived in southern Illinois and had reason to head north up US-51 on the way to Minnesota, my two options for linking between US-51 and I-57 were (1) I-74 and (2) US-50.  The only part of the second option that I didn't like was the exact portion in your picture:  the relative slog along US-50 from Sandoval to Salem.  I realize it's not really all that bad but, compared to the open highway, it sure felt like it.

I spotted this one in an Oregon Live piece this week about the annual Loyalty Day celebration in Newport, OR (https://www.oregonlive.com/living/2025/04/what-is-loyalty-day-and-why-does-only-one-oregon-city-still-celebrate-it.html); I'll repost the photo directly with that link to credit the source.

It's the western commencement of US 20 at US 101 in Newport.  The caption in the article says the photo dates from the 1970s, which makes sense because "Equitable Savings is people" is about as 70s a slogan as you're going to see on a big commercial sign.

(https://i.imgur.com/Zmkssfc.jpeg)

Loyalty Day is May 1 each year, a 1950s response to the Communist May Day, and per the article Newport's 2025 parade is tomorrow, Saturday, May 3 at noon.

That's funny, since I almost left it out in favor of another junction, but decided to save that one for another day. It also wouldn't have made it if Jim hadn't earlier posted 30/101.

While we've agreed repeats are o.k., I'm still trying to avoid them if possible.

May 5: Post a junction of a US route ending in 0 and a US route ending in 4.

Quote from: xonhulu on May 05, 2025, 01:09:54 AMAll right, paulthemapguy, I'm going to not post a certain 0-4 junction just to save it for you!  Hope you can guess which one.

Well, I grew up 5 minutes from this junction, so is it this one you're talking about?

It wasn't. The one I meant was the junction of US 160 and US 64. You'd made comments before when I'd posted the 160-491 and 160-163 pix. So I figured you were eager to contribute another from that area, and I left you the 160-64 junction that's in between those.

While you didn't go with that, you came pretty close with 550-64 just down the road from there. I had also considered using that one myself, but the picture I had of it wasn't very good.

And like I said earlier, US 30 was my favorite US highway, since I also grew up near it, so I did really  enjoy seeing your 30-34 junction pic. All good!

Regrettably, I don't have a picture of the US160-US64 junction. I had driven through there in 2012, but that was before my route-snapping days.

My 160-163 photo was taken in 2017, right after waking up from a wild glamping experience in Monument Valley. From the campsite along US163, my girlfriend (now wife) and I went south on 163 to 160 east, but just to cut over to 191 south. We didn't see US64 on that trip.

I see. I might as well share a picture of the culprit, then:

On your other point: I've actually been taking a lot of highway photos since 2003, as that was when I first got a digital SLR camera. Before that, I considered them a waste of film. But even after that, I wish I had taken more time to snap highway pictures on my many trips since then.  Most of what I did take were current/historic endpoint shots for Dale Sanderson's usends site.  But I've passed by so many other US junctions that I didn't photograph because they weren't endpoints, and now I regret that. 

In my defense: back then I had no idea I'd one day be taking part in the XY Challenge!

I like your photo, xonhulu, I'm very familiar with that spot in front of the USFS office in Carson City.  I know this thread prefers to avoid duplicates, but I'm going to assert Local Privilege, as US 50/US 395 is the closest intersection to where I live that qualifies for today's challenge.

This photo is from July 2017, upon the completion of I-580.  NDOT held a slow-drive/bike/run community event a few days before that segment of I-580 was opened to traffic, so that's when I took this photo, about 3 miles south of xonhulu's location.

Thanks for the compliment.  I picked that one (50-395 in Carson City) mostly for the snowy scene.  Question: is there still a shield assembly in that spot, only now with BUS banners?

I enjoyed seeing your photo, too.  I finally got to drive the entirety of I-580 in March of last year and would've liked to have gotten some pix of signage, but I really couldn't take any safely. You were lucky to get that opportunity before the freeway opened.

We discussed duplicate posting already, and everyone seemed to be fine with it. I personally enjoy seeing different photos of the same junctions or route combinations, and I think in some cases duplication might be inevitable.

Now on to the May 7 festivities:

Given their frequent concurrencies, this pair seems a natural, so I'll give it a bannered twist with US 20 BUS and US 26 in Idaho Falls (photo taken 4/1/2006):

It's a little sad that US 3 doesn't quite remain US 3 long enough to meet up with US 1 in Boston, but oh well.  Plenty of options to play.

One of my plays has to be from there US 1/US 23/US 301 concurrency.  This is in Folkston, Georgia.  June 1, 2004.

That's likely true. All my east coast photos are from about 20 years ago, so I'm sure a lot of them don't reflect current signage. And that assembly looks like it was dated even then.

US 3/US 4 was the first I looked for but no luck.  I've been on most of US 4, but one of my small gaps includes its overlap with US 3.  I bet many are like me who have been nearby but not on that stretch.

I can finally rejoin the game (albeit briefly)!

First, the ever-useful US 93/US 6 (and US 50) concurrency in Ely, NV:

And another triple concurrency involving US 93, this one with US 26 (and US 20) near Arco, ID:

I don't think I have any 3-7's, and I know I don't have any 3-8's (because I have no 8's at all), but I'll be good for a few days after that.

All I had for x3/y8 was a US 43/US 278 exit sign from I-22 but not even right at the exit, so it didn't seem worth playing.

Much more to choose for x3/y9 day.

I had that sign, too, but passed on it because the signage didn't mention 395.  I don't need to be so picky, since the rules don't require that.  But it worked out since you posted it anyway.  Here's my shot of it:

No photos from me today...I passed through Urbana on US 68 but didn't get a photo at US 36, for some reason. (Was it raining, or just road fatigue? I don't remember.) I also drove on a little bit of US 76/378 in Columbus, between SC 768 and I-77, but have no pics of reassurance shields.

Photos at US68 and US36 in Urbana, Ohio may have been less than intuitive, because the junction was recently converted into a roundabout.

Yeah, I am shocked that US 206/US 209 button copy is still there (though I have not been to that intersection since I clinched US 206 in July 2021).

Anyway part of the reason that the button copy exists is due to the nearby US 6/US 209 concurrency that goes from Milford, PA, to Port Jervis, NY.
