Daily Picture Challenge!

Challenge: Post route shields for state highways having the same number as an unrelated 3-digit Interstate.

This would exclude routes that are related to 3dis, such as NJ 495, NY 390/590/481, etc. Also excluded are non-Interstate routes that function as an auxiliary to a 2di, such as CA 905.

To be clear, does the 3-digit Interstate have to be in the same state as the state highway we post?  For instance, if there's an I-759 in Alabama, can I post Missouri State Route 759?

And I can't seem to find an IL-180 photo.  I have the shield cut-out but not the original from 2008...what did I do?  Guess I'll just take a new picture...

Does not have to be in the same state. (I thought of that, but didn't want to make it too restrictive.) Let's just say, bonus points if it is. :-)

June 30th Challenge ---> Post pictures of signage that show two or more of the same kind of routes (can be any kind of route, but I am looking mostly for situations where it is two or more US Highways together, or two or more Interstate Highways together) that END/BEGIN in the same place (on one or both ends):

My contribution is from my trip to Charleston, South Carolina at the beginning of June, with this particular photo taken on my Mother's iPhone. This is on Morrison Drive looking Westbound, very close to Interstate 26 in Charleston. The meat in this photo is that it includes shields for both US Highway 78 and US Highway 52, both of which start/end (in the east) in Charleston, SC on one end (though I-26's eastern end is also in Charleston, which adds even more to this post). This is quite intriguing, since US 52 and US 78 have very different paths across the country. Here is the picture:



EDIT: In the challenge, my intention was routes that begin/end in the same city (or town). I apologize, as I am simply not the best at explaining things. I kept the directions somewhat vague, so the challenge wouldn't be too hard to satisfy. Once again, I am sorry for the confusion.

If I'm understanding this correctly, the photo doesn't have to be at the shared end, so long as the routes meet the criteria. Is that right?

GA 115's west end is at the same location as GA 400's north end, near Dahlonega.

MN-244 originally ran west to US-61, but in 2002 the Ramsey County section of the road was turned back. What happens to be on the Ramsey/Washington county line is MN-120, which ends at 244. So, for the past fifteen years, these two state routes have shared a mutual terminus.

Of the sites I have photographed, the only thing I can think of is I-494 and I-694 on the east side of St. Paul.

You've reminded me of another nearby one that I completely overlooked.

Wait, are we looking for places where one route turns into the other or places where two routes start out multiplexed?  I thought it was the latter, but now it seems unclear.

The latter was intended, but the former also fits the description.

Also, it seems like the person who started this challenge posted an invalid photo (US 52 and US 78 do not end together).

^^ SCROLL UP TO MY EDITED POST TO SEE CLARIFICATION OF MY CHALLENGE FOR TODAY ^^

* also, if you're wondering why the quality of my pictures looks strange (on the posts following this), it's because apparently for the past month I have been, and still am, completely unable to upload anything from my phone to the computer. These are all my pictures that I took on my iPhone, but since my phone is currently incapacitated in terms of uploading stuff, I took "pictures" of the pictures on my phone, by using my brother's iPhone - which is the only way these pictures are able to be seen for the time being. This summer has been a lot more trying how to "save" my phone, which has 13,000 pictures and 300 videos, than mostly having fun, LOL. 
basically, long story short, will not even go into detail, my OCD makes me take pictures of stuff, a lottttt of stuff, and then with the hoarding tendencies, I can't get rid of any of them, they all must be stored. Just the thought or possibility of deleting anything gives me debilitating anxiety. I got this new 128 GB to take road videos, but this gosh dang OCd has twisted it around and tried to ruin it. well, at least you can see my pictures now, but I apologize for them not being top quality. this will be fixed ASAP, but I might have a plan - sorry for everything. 

June 1: Pictures of routes numbered one.

(off I-26 East in Columbia, SC)

(off I-75/I-85 South in Atlanta, GA)

June 21: Photos of road maintenance or construction.

(off I-20 East in Lexington, SC right before US 1 interchange) - not sure what is going on here, maybe a widening and/or resurfacing, probably both, but this goes on for a while on I-20.

June 12: Numbered routes that do not end at another numbered route.

(off of Bohicket Road Northbound on Johns Island, South Carolina (near Charleston) - SC 700 just dead ends in Rockville

(I-75/I-85 South in downtown Atlanta, GA) - with newest news, Macon has new city limits which gives it above 100k (about 150k) whereas before these changes it had slightly less than 100k.

mandated by OCD to post this before 11:00 - for some stupid reason, Flickr is not responding with me so that I can put these last few pictures into this post. 

this really doesn't make any sense. it is only letting me post a very large size, too large for the forum guidelines to my knowledge. here is my Flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/photos/127322363@N08/ maybe one of the mods can see if they can fix this. until fixed, here are the large versions:

(off I-75 Southbound just south of Dalton, GA - there is major construction on the Carbondale Road exit (Exit 326) that was in much need of some work)
