An oddly lean day for me. All I could find was WA 164 and WA 18 in Auburn, WA:



And I shouldn't even have this photo -- the WA 410 White River Bridge closure required me to take this detour up WA 164, giving me the chance to take this picture. Otherwise, I guess I would've had to sit today out!

I could only find plays from 1 of my adjacent regions.  Best I could find for Massachusetts was a "match" on consecutive I-93 exits but it's not a junction of the x4/y8 routes and a non-qualifying "To" in New Jersey.

One of several I could choose from Connecticut: Connecticut 118 and Connecticut 254 near Litchfield.  September 14, 2018.

Mississippi 25 at 15 in Louisville; a rare daytime "liminal space" scene:



US 25 gets its start from US 17 / SR 25, but also as State Route 25 Connector in Brunswick, Georgia::



Florida SR 25 is normally a hidden route designation for some US Routes in Florida, appearing for a few blocks on its former alignment in Bellevue, to link up with SR 35. Since that's not seen here, you get CR 25 instead:



Here's the other end, using a "To" banner:
