A different 91 and 84, this time in Connecticut. (It's not a double match because US 44 doesn't touch I-91 at this location.)



US 44, however, does intersect US 1 at this unisign in Providence.

That's only the second place I have ever seen a TN 1 posting, other than those commemorative "First State Road" signs. Sparta is the other location where I've seen TN 1 posted.

I'd be curious to know if it's posted anywhere else besides Memphis and Sparta.
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

I think those are the only two places in Tennessee with a posted SR 1.

So many x1/y7 examples in Ontario today so a tough choice on which one to include...

And the winner is, Ontario 11 and Ontario 17 where they join up westbound in Nipigon.  July 17, 2015.



I'll call this close enough on Massachusetts 27 and Massachusetts 111 where they each intersect Massachusetts 2 in Acton.  June 16, 2005.



US 7 and Massachusetts 41 in Great Barrington.  August 18, 2007.
