So I'm fairly new to this site and it may have been posted before, but where are places where there are many highways multiplexed and preferably signed? I'd wager that the loop with US 80 in Montgomery AL would have a lot, especially if the old Alabama highway numbers are signed. I know that I 20/I 59/US 11/US 80/ MS 19 in Meridian has 5 all signed. Where are there examples of more?
at the separation of these routes, 6 are signed

yes, that should be US-41. Silly Georgia.
There are seven in Folkston, GA:

Kentucky's champion is five -- a short stretch of US 23, US 119, US 460, KY 80 and KY 1426 in Pikeville.
Sure wish Indianapolis signed all of the concurrencies (I am beginning to dislike the term multiplex) on I-465.

Join the club. (Though I find concurrency cumbersome - overlap sounds much better.)
TX has occasional 3-way overlaps but few that are more than that. One exception is this 4-route overlap (US 82-183-277-283) SW of Wichita Falls and down to Seymour.

That could easily go on the "worst of road signs" thread. Looks like someone having an asthma attack could blow that down.
The only two in Kansas I can think of with more than three are I-35/U.S. 50-56-169 for a while from Olathe to I-435 and the very brief I-135/U.S. 81/K-15-96 one in Wichita.
Okay, three. I-70/U.S. 24-75/K-4 for a bit in Topeka.
Doesn't exist anymore, but I think the most California ever had was a 60/70/99 multiplex. One of the reasons that led to the 1964 renumbering, I think.
That's I-10/US 60/70/99, buddy.
Of the concurrencies pictured above, how many of the state highways overlap the US routes so as to be completely redundant? Or do they really just not have enough roads to route all the different highways on?
I would imagine that signing so many overlapping highways would lead to driver confusion...

For the Georgia ones pictured:
First photo:
GA 49 stands on its own for most of its routing.
GA 11 is concurrent with US 129 from Gray to the Florida state line; GA 22 is concurrent with US 129 from Gray to Macon and then with US 80 from Macon to the Alabama state line. Truncating both to Gray would remove them from that assembly.
Second photo:
GA 4 is entirely concurrent with US 1 and could simply be removed.
GA 15 stands alone for almost its entire route south of Athens. Could be truncated at US 129/441 on the north end and at US 1/23 on the south end, which would just leave a ~25-mile concurrency with US 1 north of Baxley; this would remove it from Folkston.
GA 23 is concurrent with US 301 and/or GA 121 from the Florida state line to just north of I-16. Could be truncated to Metter, which would remove it from this assembly (and also remove its absurd concurrency with US 23).
GA 121 is concurrent with US 25 from Millen northward. It's part of a multistate route 121 with Florida and South Carolina; my preferred solution would be simply to upgrade it in place to a US route. It could even keep its number; unlike the proposed US 121 in West Virginia, SC 121 actually intersects US 21.

Perhaps in instances such as these, they could use a single state route shield that lists all the concurrent numbers, similar to that "US 1-9" shield you see in a few states.

There was US 66/91/395 and I-15 between San Bernardino and Hesperia as well.
Today's largest signed concurrency in California is US 50/Business 80/Route 99 in Sacramento, with implied routing of Route 16 and the only-acknowleged-by-FHWA I-305.
Connecticut's max is four: I-84/US 6/US 7/US 202
There are a few threes:
I-84/US 6/US 44
US 5/CT 15/CT 287
US 44/CT 8/CT 183
US 202/CT 10/CT 189
It's not signed, but there is a stretch of I-465 in Indianapolis that also carries I-74, US31, US36, US40, US52, US421, IN37, and IN67

I think I like concurrency better than multiplex, too. I was just looking for the right word when I made the title and that's the only one that came to mind
Until US 421 was routed along I-73, you had one in Greensboro that was:
I-40,I-85Bus, US 29,US 70, US 220, US 421
Still, 5 is pretty impressive.

In Minden, it isn't signed with all 3, but there is US 79/US 80/LA 159. This intersection shows where the concurrency starts. There is a JCT US 79/80 sign before the intersection but nothing when you reach the stop sign.

No. Route 51 is only concurrent with Business 80 (at least as far as I know - the FHWA I-305 designation was extended some time in the 90s, and my guess is that it might cover the 1960s interstate-standard segment of Route 51/Business 80 from US 50/Route 99 to E Street, but I can't confirm that).

Random question: does Louisiana still use the narrow 2-digit sized route shields for 3/4 digit routes? Or do they use wider 3-digit sized shields for those?
I saw on wikipedia once a picture of 4 interstate numbers (TO I-44-55-64-70) on one shield in St. Louis, but I can't seem to find it now. IIRC, there's also another 4-number shield around Museum Campus in Chicago (TO I-90-94-55-290), but don't quote me on that.

Yes for a lot of them. they squeeze 4 digits with the same narrow numbers. I'm pretty sure that sometimes the "toe of the boot" of the Louisiana shape are extended longer on signs, but probably only on some older green state signs. I think there are some on the Inner Loop Expwy, LA 3132 in Shreveport, but I don't have pictures.
on the other hand US400 in Kansas is really a redundant number. Something like 80-90% of the route is doubled with another US route :ded:

Thanks to the turning back of State Ave, we do have K-7/US 73/US 24/US 40 (of which KDOT gave K-7 top billing on most of the signage), I-70/US 24-40-69, and I-70/US 24-40-169

They are, but with the exception of the 84/30/395 I mentioned, that doesn't affect any other triple concurrencies. Oregon has plenty of duplexes; I was only listing the triplexes.

The only places I know of where the I-5/OR 99 concurrency is acknowledged is on BGS's on a couple on-ramps: as northbound 99 merges onto I-5 in north Grants Pass:

IL 3 does indeed multiplex with I-55/64/70 from the PSB Complex to the Tri-Level. You could also throw in the Great River Road. This section will be losing I-70 in a few years when the Great Lemon opens, and IL 3 sometime down the road when the new alignment that stays separate from I-55 opens.
This particular area of roadway has had a lot of multiplexed routes in the past also, with I-55/70, US 40-50-66 for a few years, then I-55/70, US 40-50, and IL 3 for a few more years before US 50 was relocated to I-255.

Nebraska never has any more than 3 concurrent routes. If I count correctly, there are 6 such instances: I-129/US 20/US 75 in South Sioux City, US 77/US 275/NE 91 N. of Fremont, US 6/US 34/US 281 in Hastings, US 6/US 34/NE 44 W. of Minden, US 6/US 34/US 83 at McCook, and US 26/NE 71/NE 92 at Scottsbluff.

Jeez, those are hideous! It's almost as if the US route shields in the design were an afterthought after the sign blank had been ordered. Surely those could have been designed a bit better...
Highest number of overlapping routes you'll find in Nevada is three. There are two instances, with a third in the works someday.
1) I-515/US 93/US 95 - from downtown Las Vegas to Railroad Pass (between Henderson and Boulder City) - about 20 miles.
2) US 6/US 50/US 93 - from Ely southeasterly to Major's Junction - about 26 miles.
3) FUTURE: I-580/US 50/US 395 - Carson City Bypass - about 4-5 miles. This future one is contingent upon completion of the final 3-4 miles of the bypass (still a few years away due to lack of funding) and subsequent extension of I-580 down from Reno.
They aren't all shown on reassurance markers, or trailblazers, but I believe the intersection with the most (or it not the most, definitely a great number) of concurrencies, at least in the Orlando, FL area, is this one: 28.304454N,81.403685W. Including the hidden state road designations, there's US 17, US 92, US 192, US 441, SR 500, SR 530, and SR 600 - 7 different designations. The only other one that comes close is when US 17/92/441 meet SR 50 in downtown Orlando with 6 different designations.
QuoteAre there any examples in which 84/30 share the same cardinal direction legend on a BGS?
Yes, where they choose to sign 84 and 30 on BGSes and no other routes are concurrent (they mostly only sign I-84 on BGSes, omitting US-30). Heading eastbound there are exactly 6, 5 of which are in the Portland area. Those 84 East/30 E signs are exclusive to the 84/30/395 concurrency

in the 1960s, I-40 was piped onto there as well. In 1963 someone I know acquired one of two gantries: I-55, US-61, US-70. He said the other one had I-40, US-64, US-79 but he was happy just to get one.

so we've seen up to 4 US highways together....anywhere where there are 5 ?
Well... there's US highways 31, 36, 40, 52, and 421 between exits 46 and 47 of Interstate 465 east of Indy, but they're unsigned.

Hey, I like that combination BGS gantry/overhead traffic signal mount. But the most I've seen around me are triplexes, like for example US 41/US 98/FL 50 in Brooksville, Florida... unless you also count hidden FL 45. Chiefland has US 19/98/ALT 27 combined with a hidden concurrency between Florida State Road 320, but because SR/CR 320 is hidden, I'm not really sure that counts. I think there might be a few other county roads between Chiefland and Perry that do the same thing.
Colorado has one 5-plex (quintupleplex?) east of Denver in Limon, CO.
(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fr-dub.us%2Fpics%2Fquint.jpg&hash=3d0713f774b52f43e7fe428b6bcae6f094535c18)
It's signed in the field as TO SH 71, but CDOT route logs (and all signage not on the multiplex) say 71 is a continuous route. My guess is that it's signed this way to avoid a wrong-way multiplex issue. SH 71 is northbound in this picture.
Now, if you count all the unsigned US routes on Interstates in Colorado, there's quite a few multiplexes. Every now and then, CDOT throws us roadgeeks a bone and signs the US routes:

This is on WB 70 on the elevated portion just north of downtown Denver.
If only the US route signage was a little more consistent...
Here's a four-way 'plex in Idaho:

The highest in the CSRA has been a six-plex in Augusta, Ga. and a five plex in North Augusta (only (Ga.) State Route 10 does not extend into SC).
New Hampshire loves their multiplexes as well. Here is a 4-route one in Rochester:

The Spaulding Turnpike is NH 16 for its entire length. I'd assume that would be a multiplex.
Corco, that's a cool shot of US 20/NE 2/ NE 71. It's interesting how 20 is signed as East and 2 is signed as West.

If you count the Lake Michigan Circle Tour as a highway designation, then Michigan tops out at two quadruplexes: US 2/US 41/M-35/LMCT in Escanaba and Gladstone and US 31/M-37/M-72/LMCT in Traverse City. The latter has a full sign assembly at the east end of Grandview parkway with all four markers, while the former may not have a LMCT marker along the concurrency.

Also, if the LMCT is counted, Michigan would have quite a few triplexes, including a 37 mile long one in SW Michigan (I-196/US-31/LMCT)

The I-465 Beltway around Indianapolis actually has the most. Although unsigned, with all State and US Routes being eliminated inside the beltway creates many overlaps. You would need to sit down and figure this out, but I believe that the east side has the most with US 31, US 36, US 40, US 52, SR 67, and US 421 all being together with I-465 in the vicinity of I-70 east of Indy has the most.

Except US 52 and I-74 are never concurrent (they miss by one interchange) so it is 8 at the moment.
I forgot that US52 got switched from the west-south part of 465 to the north-east part. They should switch it back so they can get 10.
They should extend I-99 to Indy and bring back SR 100 so they can get 12.

I think that wins the prize for most absurd hypothetical multiplex (before the joke gets old)...
I've driven through Bucyrus a lot lately and noticed the 4x overlap of state routes 4, 19, 98, and 100. They're all signed N/S, in the same way. Are there any overlaps with 5 or more routes in the same direction? Also interesting (maybe) about this multiplex is that 4 and 98 do not cross one another, nor do 19 and 100.
Yes, Georgia has so many 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-state concurrencies. No offense to Indianapolis or Greensboro, NC.
