XY Challenge

[wanderer2575]

Here we go!  Although I think I'm duplicating a route or two right out the gate.

Northbound US-340 at US-250 in Waynesboro, VA:


Eastbound US-50 at US-150 (and US-41) in Vincennes, IN:


Westbound US-30 at US-250 (and OH-3 and OH-83) in Wooster:

Somehow I have no good photo of New York's US 11/US 20.

US 10 and US 61 in St. Paul, Minnesota.  October 10, 2004.



US 30 and US 101 in Astoria, Oregon.  March 9, 2020.



US 90 and US 301 concurrency in pre-bypass Baldwin, Florida.  January 1, 2005.

This will be the easiest day of the whole season, I think. 0s and 1s are the most common, and odd-even combinations are the most likely to intersect each other. Even-even and odd-odd will be more difficult. Let's see how great of a diversity of intersections we can share today!

May 2: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 0 and a US highway ending in 1, anywhere in the USA.

The next few days:

May 4: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 0 and a US highway ending in 3.
May 5: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 0 and a US highway ending in 4.

Back when I lived in southern Illinois and had reason to head north up US-51 on the way to Minnesota, my two options for linking between US-51 and I-57 were (1) I-74 and (2) US-50.  The only part of the second option that I didn't like was the exact portion in your picture:  the relative slog along US-50 from Sandoval to Salem.  I realize it's not really all that bad but, compared to the open highway, it sure felt like it.

US 160 and US 491 in Cortez, CO:

I almost posted 160/491 but thought maybe someone farther west than I am would get to it anyway. Awesome. I'm glad that photo made it into today's challenge!

I spotted this one in an Oregon Live piece this week about the annual Loyalty Day celebration in Newport, OR; I'll repost the photo directly with that link to credit the source.

It's the western commencement of US 20 at US 101 in Newport.  The caption in the article says the photo dates from the 1970s, which makes sense because "Equitable Savings is people" is about as 70s a slogan as you're going to see on a big commercial sign.



Loyalty Day is May 1 each year, a 1950s response to the Communist May Day, and per the article Newport's 2025 parade is tomorrow, Saturday, May 3 at noon.

That's funny, since I almost left it out in favor of another junction, but decided to save that one for another day. It also wouldn't have made it if Jim hadn't earlier posted 30/101.

While we've agreed repeats are o.k., I'm still trying to avoid them if possible.

Great photo! I especially like the old-school state-named 101 shield lurking just beyond the intersection.

Here's what that sign assembly looks like now:

Even though I've been within maybe 1/4 mile of it many times driving by on the Thruway, I've never been to New York's one qualifying intersection for today, of US 20 and US 62.

I was thinking of posting 340/522 and 12/730, but I LOVE that others of you posted these first!
You will find that Ohio and Pennsylvania are great places to find US highways ending in 2.

All right, paulthemapguy, I'm going to not post a certain 0-4 junction just to save it for you!  Hope you can guess which one.

Instead, I'll go with US 20 and US 14 (with US 16) just after leaving Yellowstone Park's east entrance:



Sticking with US 20, here's its intersection with US 4 (and US 9) in East Greenbush, NY:
