Above is the streetview of US 45 and S Park Ave in Fond Du Lac, WI.  US 45 has to stop for traffic on S. Park Ave.  S. Park Ave traffic does not have to stop and has the complete right of way.  Are there any other cases where the US highway has to give way to a county or local road?  Ends at T intersections and turns do not count.

Judging by traffic counts, that would seem reasonable, but it's always confused me how US 45 on that side of Fond du Lac is able to have that low of traffic counts.  It's a US Highway in the middle of a mid-sized city, yet it has less traffic than your typical collector street in spots.  Weird.

That's why I started this thread because it has to be pretty rare and I was surprised to see a US highway have to give way to a local street.  What's even stranger is that 9th St is the preferred east west arterial about 3 blocks south that has a signalized intersection with S. Park Ave.

Eastbound US-52 has to stop for traffic coming south along Briggs Street, where the two meet in Joliet.  It's a T intersection that favors Briggs over Manhattan Road (US-52 to the west).

Surely these is a lot of places like this, esp where the US highway has been bypassed by an interstate.

I'm not so sure of that.  I keep coming up with ones on secondary US highways, like US-52.  That one also has a stop sign at the eastern end of the US-52/IL-23 concurrency for westbound US-52.  The western end of the concurrency is a four-way stop. US-52 also does it again at both end of the concurrency with IL-251.  IL-251 traffic does not stop at either location.  However, those are state routes, not the county highways or municipal streets the OP was looking for.  Old US-66 has quite a few here in Illinois, but those were done after the US highway was moved to the freeway and of those roads.

No T intersections.  It has to be a 4 way intersection where both directions of the US highway have to stop.  At the intersection you referenced above, West US 52 still has the right of way and doesn't have to stop.  I'm looking for intersections where both directions of a US highway have to stop for a county or local road.

I can't think of any in Massachusetts, as in full 4-way intersections where 2 sides are US route both with stop signs, and the other 2 aren't and have no traffic controls. I'd not be surprised if one is out there, but a run through in my own head isn't revealing any.

For me, the challenge is finding a place where a US highway stops at all, at least in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa.  To have to stop for a local street must be like finding a unicorn.

US 301 has stop signs where it intersects VA 40 and SR 602, both of which are near Stony Creek, Virginia. The lesser roads are given priority over 301 because of the fact that I-95 is literally next to 301 in this area (the SB lanes of 95 utilizes the former NB lanes of 301).

US 84 in Brookhaven, MS has a 4 way stop with East Lincoln Road.  This might be what the OP wanted.

At first I thought you just meant a traffic light at a local road. Then after I looked at the example I blanked out.

I agree with the above poster, I would probably get struck by lightning before I find one of these.
What's not to like about highways and bridges, intersections and interchanges, rails and planes?
