Multiplexes signed as opposite ways
For example: I-77 and I-81 near Wytheville, VA...you could be going on I-77 north and I-81 south at the same time
One on a local level is US-20 west and IL-72 east, which is also IL-47 north :-P
What are some others?
has anyone ever managed to find a full four-direction multiplex? three-direction ones are easy enough to find, like the 20/72/47 example. (which gets bonus points for being three different route classifications!)
the southeast quadrant of the Boise City, OK rotary (roundabout? traffic circle? I can never remember which is which) contains US-385 north, US-287 south, US-56 east ... but nothing westbound, alas.
I'd imagine a true four-way multiplex would show up in a similar context.
Indiana has at least three opposite triple or more m-plexes:
- I-469 North/US 30 West/US 24 East in Fort Wayne
- SR 22 West/US 35 North/SR 19 South between Kokomo and Marion
I-465 east leg in Indy would have:
- I-465 North
- US 31 North
- US 36 East
- US 40 East
- US 52 West
- US 421 North
- SR 37 North
- SR 67 North

The US 19/US 62/PA 58/PA 258 multiplex in Mercer, PA
almost meets this. For half a block, you are travelling
south on US 19,
north on PA 258 and
east on PA 58. The only problem is US 62 is signed north/south in Pennsylvania, or you would be heading
west on US 62 as well. I took the pictures for Timothy Reichard's site several years ago. http://www.m-plex.com/roads/pamplex/mp_us19_us62_pa58_pa258.html

I believe that Beaufort County has US 17 and US 21.
I've seen and photographed a number of tri-directional concurrencies.
As for all four directions signed on a single piece of roadway, I seem to remember someone posting an example of such on MTR way back when and said phenomenon was observed, I believe, in Massachusetts. I've searched MTR many times trying to find that post, but whoever posted it must have been paranoid and used the old "x-no-archive-yes" header to keep DejaNews from preserving it. :-(

One i know of since i drive it anytime i am going to my grandmother's is in Green Lake County WI southwest of Markesan. South WI 44 and North WI 73 are cosigned going in opposite directions. Actually, WI has a fair amount of these. In the Wisconsin Dells area, East US 12 and West WI 23 are cosigned. In Janesville, West WI 11 has a 3 mile cosign with East I-90/39. In Waupun, North Bus US 151 has a short 2 block cosign with South WI 49.
The bypass of Fremont, Ohio allows you to travel EAST on US 6 and US 20, SOUTH on State Route 19, and NORTH on State Route 53 all at the same time.

Indiana (or the Indiana contractors) seem to use them quite a bit. There's another for US-6 on the eastbound Borman Expy.

Also, somewhere in rural Central IL, US-24 and US-136 have a 2-mile wrong-way multiplex. IL-100 (N-S) is also along that stretch.

There's a part of me that thinks that's a good case for
not putting up a shield, since it might aid in confusion.
Still, it would be a bit of a "holy grail" situation.
US 301 and VA 35 have a brief multiplex over I-95 where one goes south and the other goes north (depending which way you go over 95)
If Rand McNally is correct and US-41 is signed N-S in Miami, then SB 41 goes north on Biscayne Blvd with NB US-1.
US 41/Tamiami Trail is signed east-west in Miami-Dade County.
Colorado has one as far as I have found.
According to the route logs, SH 71 is a continuous route through Limon. It shares Main Street with BL 70, US 24, US 287, and US 40. In the picture, 287 is heading southbound on a eastbound road while 71 is headed northbound. I don't know if CDOT decided to sign it as "To" just to stop any confusion, or if the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing...

U.S. 41 and 411 do this in Cartersville, Georgia, and GA 20 and GA 53 do this in Rome while riding on US 27 in and out of the south side of town.
I remember reading an old M.T.R. post that RI 114 wrongway multiplexes itself somehow.
This map shows the RI 114 wrongway self multiplex:

US 1 is blue.
RI 15 is red.
RI 114 is green.
Newberg, Oregon: Oregon 99W and Oregon 219.
And to throw in a wrench, both 99W and 219 are north-south routes, but while multiplexed in Newberg runs on a west-east street/couplet. At the west end of the multiplex 219 heads north to Hillsboro while 99W continues west through downtown before turning to the southwest towards McMinnville; at the east end 219 continues east and then south towards St. Paul while 99W heads northeasterly up to Rex Hill and the Portland metropolitan area.

The map can be confusing, but US-19 goes north from Banksville Rd and north on Saw Mill Run Blvd. Truck US-19 goes north on Saw Mill Run Blvd and then north on I-
279376.
Not a true opposite, but WB US 270 in Arkansas follows US 71 South at Y City, then turns and follows US 59 North at Acorn.
There is a short opposite in Texarkana with SB US 71 following NB US 67 for 2-3 blocks.

- US 15/220 in Williamsport, PA. Before I-180 was changed to east-west, it would have been the opposite of US 220, along with US 15.
Southwestern Ohio: US 52 goes wrong-way with US 62 (along with US 68, except that's signed N/S in Ohio). Actually, US 62 might be signed N/S there too, but probably not in a majority of assemblies.

114 doesn't look quite right. (Why would it turn right and go around the loop when it could just turn left?) I believe the dark green turns at Division to follow the light green.
According to oxlahun at the Clinched Highways project (he did up the Rhode Island highways for the site), it's the official routing.

I thought someone pointed out a segment of I-465 in one of the first posts in this thread. But I suppose it doesn't count if only one or two of the several overlapping routes are posted in any single display.

So it's co-signed as both East and West in the same direction? :confused:
Even though when I lived there and worked for the city that's how I got back on I-664 when leaving downtown offices, I can't remember if it was signed at all, though a quick check on streetview (http://maps.google.com/?ll=36.979107,-76.428967&spn=0.000017,0.020556&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6&layer=c&cbll=36.979284,-76.428522&panoid=8sYu1Hp2s7FnHW68Pfejqg&cbp=12,221.69,,0,0.09) shows that there is a US 60 shield coming off of 26th St with two banners over it. Then on Huntington Ave southbound signs direct US 60 westbound traffic to turn left on 25th St, which would be a much more logical routing than the one depicted on OpenStreetMap.

Hmmm, you're right (the actual turn sign is misposted just after the intersection on the left side). This is also what the VDOT GIS data shows, which makes the overlap one block instead of three. I've corrected the routing on OSM.
FWIW, Google shows WB US-60 going 26th -> Jefferson -> 28th -> ramp -> 29th -> Warwick.

I think we've shown time and time again that Google is worth diddly squat.
As best as I can tell, Google or their supplier started with TIGER data and its name_* tags to extract route numbers, then automatically made routes continuous by adding extra or removing stray segments. This is why you have, for example, the "Co Rd 532" overlap here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=28.280801,-81.407747&spn=0.067271,0.164795&z=14 (CR 532 begins at US 17/92 west of Intercession City and US 192 east of St. Cloud.) In the case of US 60, the algorithm must have given Jefferson-28th-29th as the most likely way to fill the gap.
Here's another one involving US 60:
In Shelbyville, KY US 60 picks up KY 55X (Business - this part just used to be plain KY 55), then about a mile later, picks up KY 53. US 60 East is KY 55X North and KY 53 South, and US 60 West is KY 55X South and KY 53 North. The 55X/53 overlap lasts for about 1.5 miles.
US 42 and OH 257 overlap in opposite directiions across the Scioto River near Bellpoint. Signage doesn't make it obvious though, since there are no reassurance markers for 257 on the overlap section, and directional banners aren't posted on every shield.
US 62 and US 33 overlap the wrong way in downtown Columbus. However, directional banners for US 62 may be absent or shared with a N/S route in this area.

The entire state of Maine. There are just so many multiplexes that I can't possibly analyze them all. One I know for certain is ME 17 SB/ME 11-100 NB (and US 202 EB, which is really also NB the way most states sign it).
Edit: Now onto a second one, ME 7 NB/ME 100 SB along US 2 WB in Newport.

If old VA 27 was signed north-south, it had a wrong-way multiplex with VA 45 near Cartersville, but it was decommissioned decades ago.
In this post from 2 years ago, I mentioned the four wrong way multiplexes of US 11 between Northumberland and Kingston, PA.

I-81 and I-77 are both cosigned, but they're both going the opposite direction.
I've seen a number of cosigned routes with opposite directions on the reassurance signs.
In my home town of Bloomsburg, PA; US 11 and PA 487 duplex for a few blocks but have opposite directions on the signs. Going one way, (compass NNW) it's US 11 South, PA 487 North. Naturally, the other way (compass SSE) is US 11 North and PA 487 South.
In Berwick, PA you have:
compass ENE: US 11 north and PA 93 South
compass WSW: US 11 South and PA 93 North
In W. Nanticoke, PA, US 11 does it again for a couple of miles:
compass East: US 11 North and PA 29 South
compass West: US 11 South and PA 29 North
Going the other way, there is another short couple block stretch in Northumberland, PA where US 11 (yet again!) and PA 147 do the opposite direction dance.
In all, four "wrong way" duplexes in a 56 mile stretch of highway!
US 78 and US 278 were opposite a long time ago in Western AL before the current freeway (future I-22) was constructed.
US 11, US 41, US 64, and US 72 near Chatanooga, TN.
US 9 and NY 9N in Elizabethtown, NY. The funny thing is that several miles to the south in Lake George, NY both are concurrent the right way. So in Elizabethtown if you are on the US 9 and NY 9N overlap, both ways are to Lake George.
Lakeland, GA US 129 and US 221.
US 1 and I-95 near Dedham, MA.
OH 19 and OH 61 in Galion: not only are their directions rotaated 180 degrees from one another (N/S) but so are their numbers (19/61)!
In Lynchburg, Va:
US 29/460/501 (north/east/south and south/west/north).
US 29 bus and US 501 (north/south and south/north),
US 221 and US 501 bus plus a section of US 460 bus (south/north/west and north/south/east)
Double-double in Pine Bluff, Arkansas:

I remember one example of such being posted in M.T.R. many years ago (in the group's infancy in the mid-90s) but I can't turn that post up in a Google Groups search. Someone must have been paranoid and used the "no-archive" header.
I seem to recall that it was in Massachusetts and it
may have involved MA 2, but I can't be positive.

Didn't come across anything in Mass. that struck me like that - not even sure there are four routes together anywhere. Maine is more likely with the number of quadruplexes it has.
In Nebraska, eastbound US 20 has North NE 7 and South US 183 from between Ainsworth and Long Pine to Bassett. That one is 11 miles long and has to be one of the longer ones on record. I know formerly, north NE 57 and south NE 15 had one on the road now marked NE 59 near Laurel.
Western Iowa has three, partly due to the diagonal nature of the roads (and the rivers they parallel): 1. east US 30 and west IA 37 for a few blocks in Dunlap 2: east US 30 and west IA 141 for a mile or so in Denison 3: east IA 141 and west IA 175 for about a mile in Mapleton.
NW Missouri has north US 159 and south MO 111 for a few miles west of I29.
The only one I know for sure in Minnesota is north US 63 and south MN 58 for a brief stretch in Red Wing.

I have yet to find any in my travels. I've found a few 3-Ways (such as Meridian, MS) , but never any 4-Ways.
These two would be open for debate:
1. MA 128 along I-93/US 1 between Canton & Braintree: Yes, this stretch was stripped of its 128 shields 2 decades ago but in the eyes of many Bay Staters, news & traffic reporters, etc. this stretch of I-93 is still referred to as Route 128 along w/its respective cardinals.
2. Fictional highway/state border case: Had the NY-NJ state line shifted in such a way that the entire length of I-287 was all in one state; the stretch of NYS Thruway where both I-87 & 287 occupies would have opposite cardinals (87N/287S & vice-versa).

Not necessarily. Just because it would be all in one state doesn't mean NJ couldn't decide to change its direction at Suffern still, especially since I-287 North/East curves
southeast past the Tappan Zee. (In fact, you don't need to enter the realm of fiction to imagine this. The point where the directional signage changes
isn't the state line, it's the I-87/I-287 interchange, squarely in New York.)

Not to nitpick but the Suffern interchange (Exit 15) is only a stone's throw from the state line. Due to its close proximity, most of the approach BGS' along I-287 Northbound for this interchange are located in NJ and are NJDOT-spec'd. The only reason why the change in cardinal direction is there rather than the state line is because it's more logical location to do so.
As I mentioned earlier, had
all of the I-287 corridor (from I-95/NJ Turnpike Exit 11 to I-95 (Exit 22) in Rye, NY) been situated in
one state (be it NJ or NY); it would've likely been an all North-South route in a similar manner that MA 128 is an all North-South route... Canton truncation or no Canton truncation.
Can highways change direction cardinals in the same state, sure (see I-695/Baltimore Beltway, I-495/Capital Beltway and RI 138 in Newport); but those are usually exceptions, not the rule.
Dunno about that. Most complete beltways will change cardinal directions four times, irrespective of any state lines.

True but neither I-287 nor MA 128 are complete loop beltways like the Baltimore & Capital Beltways are. They're beltways for sure but not complete loops.
NY 78 and NY 98 have a wrong-way (North/South) multiplex in Java:
