Iconic duos

There's a meme that says "name a more iconic duo, I'll wait". What if we do that with roads? For example, I nominate I-80 and US-6.


Buck87

I'll go with I-80 and I-90 for their long concurrency, as well as their status as the longest 2 interstates

"Iconic" might be a stretch, but US 11 and I-81 could work.
And for western/central NY in particular, US 20/NY 5 and their long multiplex across the tops of the Finger Lakes.

I feel like we've seen this thread before, but to name another one: US-1 / US-9

:) Needs more... :sombrero: Not quite... :bigass: Perfect.

Quote from: I-55 on April 13, 2025, 09:39:41 PMThe correct question is "if ARDOT hasn't signed it, why does Google show it?" and the answer as usual is "because Google Maps signs stuff incorrectly all the time"

US 89/91 are a fairly well known pair in Utah. 6/50 too.

Maybe this is more infamous than iconic, but (former) US 66 and I-40 come to mind. My mom lived in NM in a town that was by-passed by I-40, and the only reason it survived is the Uranium mines. Now that that is gone, the town is slowly shrinking. (If you can guess the town she grew up in, you get imaginary brownies :bigass:).
I build roads on Minecraft. Like, really good roads.
Interstates traveled:
4/5/10*/11**/12**/15/25*/29*/35(E/W[TX])/40*/44**/49(LA**)/55*/64**/65/66*/70°/71*76(PA*,CO*)/78*°/80*/95°/99(PA**,NY**)

*/** indicates a terminus/termini being traveled
° Indicates a gap (I.E Breezwood, PA.)

US 20 and US 6, the longest US Routes. In fact which one is longer is not well determined.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

The reason why US 1&9 was on the "Roadgeek Memes" thread was because the routes share the same sign. This isn't the case for any of the others.

It happens sporadically here as well - here's an example (although most of the signage looks more like this).
"Now, what if da Bearss were to enter the Indianapolis 5-hunnert?"
"How would they compete?"
"Let's say they rode together in a big buss."
"Is Ditka driving?"
"Of course!"
"Then I like da Bear buss."
"DA BEARSSS BUSSSS"
