OR 47 and OR 8 in Forest Grove, although I miss the erroneous signage from that was there until sometime last year:

 

I love that you gave me the chance to see what a US47 shield looks like! If only there was a true US47 somewhere!

February 20: Post the junction of a route ending in 7 and a route ending in 8, in your state/province.

IL17 and IL78 share a short concurrency near La Fayette:

The rest of February:
February 21: Post the junction of a route ending in 7 and a route ending in 9, in your state/province.
February 22: Post the junction of a route ending in 8 and a different route ending in 8, in your state/province.
February 23: Post the junction of a route ending in 8 and a route ending in 9, in your state/province.
February 24: Post the junction of a route ending in 9 and a different route ending in 9, in your state/province.

February 25-28: The game will take a short break. During this break, feel free to post any charts or summaries encompassing the whole state or a certain route system, as exemplified in this thread's original post. This includes a summary of what we have just posted for these first two months!

On March 1, the game with start at 0-0 with a new criterion: routes from your state or province again, but with a focus on the tens digit of the route number, rather than the last digit. On this day, we will want junctions of two separate routes, each of which have a 0 as the tens digit. To be clear, single-digit numbers will be considered valid as numbers with a 0 in the tens digit.

For example, on March 21, the digits requested will be 2 and 3 for the tens place. Valid combinations of route numbers could be 128 and 33, 27 and 139, or 525 and 434. Just so everyone is clear on what to do.

The focus on one's own state or province will end in late April, as the game will shift focus to the US highway system in May. People will be allowed to post photos taken in any state.

A multi-way match where US 9, I-87, New York 119, and I-287 all meet up (or nearly meet up) in Tarrytown.  April 2, 2022.



I-99 and New York 417 near Painted Post.  October 24, 2019.



New York 29 and New York 147 in Galway.  June 30, 2011.



I'll include this as a bonus that doesn't quite fit again and it's not right at the line.  New York 7 and Vermont 9 meet at the border.  This is at the west end of the Bennington Bypass in Hoosick, I believe not long after it opened.  December 22, 2004.

Illinois 169, an often forgotten route

I'm not sure I've ever actually takin IL-169.  But for getting between IL-37 and US-45, it's hard to beat the scenery of Tick Ridge Road.

OR 38 and OR 138 in Elkton:

Western PA has way too many 8 and 8 intersections to choose from so here is one that most of us have probably missed.

PA 138 and PA 308 are concurrent in West Sunbury.

February 22: Post the junction of a route ending in 8 and another route ending in 8, in your state/province.

I just have one photo today. From the start, I guessed that this would be the day with the lowest potential for finding viable photos. But we've had some good participation regardless of whatever I was thinking!

This is IL-8 and IL-78 in Elmwood, west of Peoria.
