The only one I have a picture of, MN-298. Currently clocks in at 0.469 miles, although when this picture was taken back in 2012 it was closer to a whole mile.



I would've also posted MN-301, but as it turns out, that one is about ~312 feet too long. :-D

Edit: silly me forgot about MN-121. A route of 0.972 miles that serves essentially as an on/off-ramp from I-35W and MN-62 in Minneapolis.

OH 872, aka the western approach to the Moundsville Bridge, begins at OH 7 and extends 0.63 mile to the OH/WV border (north bank of the Ohio River) on the Moundsville Bridge...

Got my first pictures of a diverging diamond last Friday: the relatively new CR-120 interchange with MN-15 in Sartell/St. Cloud. Not sure if it's the first DDI in Minnesota, but I can't think of where there is another.

Don't know if all of these count but here's what else I have.

US-167 and AR-367 in Searcy. Both are children of US-67 + a sign error bonus.

PA 231 and PA 331 near West Middletown.  Both are spurs of PA 31, however they were orphaned in the 1960s when PA 31 was truncated to its current western end in West Newton.  PA 31's former route in this area was taken over by PA 844.

This is from off of Interstate 80 Eastbound in the downtown of the beautiful city of San Francisco, California. Of course, I-80 eventually connects to Chicago:

I probably have a bunch more, but this picture stands out to me just because of the really old-style Burger King architecture in the background. Hinckley, MN, February 2017. (I swear this picture was taken because it is of the west end of MN-48, not the restaurant. :))

There are three large chains in this image. A Burger King is on the left in the distance which the sign is just about visible.

I believe this is Michigan's shortest signed state highway, at just under .75 mile.  It basically serves as the entrance drive into Aloha State Park.
