3 route numbers terminate at the same T intersection

In Waldo, Ohio there is a T intersection where all 3 legs of the intersection are a different route number and all 3 routes end at the intersection:

eastern terminus of OH 47
southern terminus of OH 423
southern terminus of OH 98


Are there any other places where this scenario happens?   


Big John

Not a T since there is a 4th leg that is not a numbered road.  Hope this is acceptable.

Sheboygan WI:Hwy 42 south terminus, Hwy 23 east terminus, Hwy 28 north terminus (east-west hwy).

Louisiana has a couple:

LA 22/LA 75/LA 942 in Darrow, LA

Not a T, but 3 terminations:
LA 311/LA 312/LA 3197 at LA 182 in Houma, LA

Not a T, but three terminations:

WA 99/WA 526/WA 527 in Everett, WA. The remaining leg is a normal city street, while the intersection itself is in the middle of an interchange.

In Port Arthur, the southern termini of US 69, US 96, and US 287 end at TX 87.  (The roadways aren't a T-intersection, but the numbered parts are.)

This is the only spot in TX (that I know of) where 3 numbered routes end together at another numbered route.  The only other possibility (at all, though it doesn't count), is the south ends of I-69E, US 77, and US 83 at the US-Mexico border in Brownsville.  IDK if they officially terminate at the border entry, or at the first signal light just to the north.

The OP explicitly says one per leg.




I decided to look in Iceland, where overlaps are almost nonexistent (931/933 was the only exception I found). Unfortunately, I couldn't find any examples of two routes terminating end-to-end at an intersection (which is a superset of this thread), probably because Iceland's routes can zigzag in any direction and even change directions multiple times due to the mountainous geography.

NC 92, NC 99 and NC 306 all end from different legs of a T intersection

Historical: US 64/264, US 158, and NC 12.

When NC 12 ended at US 64-264 it was a 4-way intersection where US 158 Bus ended from the 4th leg, for a crossroads bonus of 4 legs of an intersection all with ending routes.

M-3, M-10, and BS I-375 are separately on three legs of the Woodward Avenue/Randolph Street intersection in downtown Detroit, and all three routes terminate at that intersection. 

In practical reality this may not count for the OP, as both M-10 and BS I-375 aren't signed here and currently even the M-3 ENDS assembly is gone.  It's also not a T; the fourth (southern) leg is the entrance to the Detroit-Windsor international tunnel.

Only other close-but-no-cigar scenarios in Michigan I can think of are in Ontonagon (the termini of M-64 from the west and M-38 from the east at a four-way intersection with US-45, which itself has a dangling terminus about 2/3 mile north) and Cross Village (county routes C-77 and C-66 multiplex for 560 feet before a four-way intersection with M-119 where all three routes terminate).

NWI_Irish96

Not a T intersection, but IL 9, IN 26, and IN 352 all terminate at the same intersection, with the 4th leg being a local road.

Another one that comes really close to meeting the criteria. IN 252 ends just a few feet before a Y-intersection where OH 126 and OH 129 both end.

Best I can find for Indiana.
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%

Helena, Alabama has a four-way, but only one is a state route. There's a few others with only county roads, but I won't count them.



AL 261 acts as a spur route to Helena from US 31, but terminates at Shelby County Roads 91, 52, and 17. (Widening CR 52 is currently in the process.)

Shelby County is about the only Alabama County that uses the county pentagon at places other than intersections and they actually use the direction blades.

Didn't US-8, US-65, and MN-65 all used to end at the same intersection of downtown Minneapolis at one time?

US 89

Don’t expect to see any signage, but I believe US 72, 76, and 129 all end at the same intersection in Chattanooga, at Market and ML King. Not a T, though.

All of AL 261 is an upgrade of Shelby CR 17.  Shelby CR 52 also makes a turn at that intersection.

Yes from ~1935-1978, but they were not all on different legs.  US 8 and MN 65 were concurrent coming across the 3rd Ave Bridge.  Also, at the time, you had US 12/US 52 along Washington Ave.

FTFY, but they do not all end at the same intersection.  US 76 and US 127 officially do, at Market and MLK.  But US 72 ends at Main and Broad.

Historically, in Chattanooga, US 27, US 64, and US 76 may have ended at the same intersection (11th and Market), before 27 and 64 were extended.

Two scenarios in Indiana where 3 highways each ended on a different leg of an intersection but no longer do are:

SR 54, SR 58 and SR 63 all used to end at the corner of 3rd and Market Streets in Merom.   SR 54 was truncated back to US-41 when the Turtle Creek Reservoir was created in 1980.   Subsequently, the end of SR 58 and SR 63 was moved two blocks north to 3rd and Poplar Streets where SR 63 used to make a 90 degree turn to the east.



SR 42, SR 144 and SR 267 all used to end at the corner of High St and Indiana Ave in Mooresville.   SR 267 was extended south along Indiana Ave when SR 67 was routed onto the by-pass around the city in 1959-60.   SR 267 was de-commissioned from south of I-70 to Mooresville in the early 2010s.   At some point in the 1990s or 2000s the end points for SR 42 and SR 144 were moved to the SR 67 intersection thus extending SR 42 and reducing SR 144 mileages.



Of course, both of these scenarios were not T-intersections.

FTFY, but they do not all end at the same intersection.  US 76 and US 127 officially do, at Market and MLK.  But US 72 ends at Main and Broad.

That was what I thought, but from another thread...

US 72-76-127 all end at MLK Blvd at Market.  There is a lonely TN 8 shield at that intersection.

Chattanooga TDOT map shows US 72 past Main.

I did have the TN 8 shield incorrect - it is at Broad at MLK.

There are zero US 72 applications for Tennessee in the AASHO database despite the apparent extension in Chattanooga and the last three Memphis endpoint changes (~1958 ,1978, 1995)

In Halfway, OR, the corner of S Main St. and E Record St. is where unsigned routes OR-86S, OR-413 and OR-414 all meet. ODOT assigned all of these numbers the same day (2/12/2003), and I have no idea why they didn't just extend the Halfway-Cornucopia Highway down the Halfway Spur to meet OR-86 and call the entire thing OR-413.

Not a T intersection, but same concept. Before Public Square got redeveloped by removing Ontario St and making Superior Ave bus only through the square, there's routes that terminated on 3 sides
W Superior Ave: US 42, OH 3
E Superior Ave: US 322
Ontario St: US 21, US 422, OH 8, OH 14, OH 43, OH 87
