Ah, crap.  My picture of that exit from 2012, back when it was still a toll road, is hosted on photobucket, so... crap.

Both route numbers here are divisible by 15. As far as the exit tab goes I'm sure any even number other than 0 qualifies.

I recognize that the challenge has passed, but just for the record, 0 is divisible by 2.

Perhaps I phrased it poorly - I was going for 2+ colorful names in one photo.

One of your photos in the OP had only one colorful name, though with three colors in it. That threw me off.

My personal sub-challenge is two such examples in one picture.

February 19, 2020. Three routes of the same type that start with the same digit [sic].

A post of the US60/61/62 combo would work great here, but alas, I don't have one.

I think about half of all Illinois state highways start with the digit "1".  So I'd consider this and posts of this ilk to be relatively low-hanging fruit (the IL13-127 duplex alone has a few other possibilities):


IL-013-158 by Paul Drives, on Flickr

Four NB provincial highways starting with "1".  (I think all NB provincial highways can be considered the same classification despite the variation in background colors.)


IMG_3957 by Paul Drives, on Flickr

Three Maine highways on a unisign starting with "1".  I guess the bigger challenge for me would be to find groups of route numbers that start with something other than "1".
