US 206 is concurrent with I-80 right about here at its exit with US 46:

Let's pretend I had the date right and didn't post an x6/y7 a little while ago.

All I have for x6/y6 is exactly the same US 46/US 202 from I-80 that formulanone just posted except on a cloudier day, so no play from me for today.

Photos I post are my own unless otherwise noted.

Today's challenge is a difficult one. It might be the worst of all 55 digit combinations.

US6 is present at the western end of US136 near Arapahoe, Nebraska:

No photos from me today...I passed through Urbana on US 68 but didn't get a photo at US 36, for some reason. (Was it raining, or just road fatigue? I don't remember.) I also drove on a little bit of US 76/378 in Columbus, between SC 768 and I-77, but have no pics of reassurance shields.

Photos at US68 and US36 in Urbana, Ohio may have been less than intuitive, because the junction was recently converted into a roundabout.

Yeah, I am shocked that US 206/US 209 button copy is still there (though I have not been to that intersection since I clinched US 206 in July 2021).

Anyway part of the reason that the button copy exists is due to the nearby US 6/US 209 concurrency that goes from Milford, PA, to Port Jervis, NY.

That photo was taken in 2006, so I was also surprised when I looked on GSV a few days ago and saw it was still there.
