What's wrong with this one. It indicates a wrong-way concurrency between US 49 and US 63. A little context would be helpful.

Weird, the photo below makes no topological sense, if this is presumed to be the northern end of a pair of E-W split routes...

US 25E meets US 25 and US 25W in Corbin, Ky.

...so I'm going to use it as the basis for our next Challenge:

US 25E doesn't end here, although US 25W does. US 25E was extended out to I-75. I think the original number of the route that's now shown as 25E was KY 770.

As for this challenge, there are a large number of highway exits in West Virginia that would qualify. A route number is posted when it should really be "To Route XX." Example, I-64 Exit 28 at Milton. The signage is for US 60, yet the exit is actually for a county road that accesses US 60.

Wrong-way concurrencies don't logically make sense when taken at face value.

Well, in that case

Here's a sign that implies a wrong-way multiplex when you turn left.  When I go left, I go south AND north?? What's that about??

Note that this Challenge doesn't refer only to contradictory cardinal directions (though I admit that's probably the easiest way to answer it). It can be anything that makes you think, "Wait, if this is... Then how can that...?" 

I'd especially like this one if the straight-ahead route was labeled "east". Anybody got one like that?

[hotdogPi]

Does anyone have something like a "3 miles, 2 minutes" sign?

Challenge: Post a complete set of something.

Examples could be:
—A complete set of US 9's suffixed routes in New York.
—A complete set of exit signage on the alphabet loop in Kansas City.
—A complete set of Kentucky parkway trailblazers.

...and so on. Try to pick something worthy; not just a set of, you know...two.

(Posting limits such as the 3-photo-per-post rule will be relaxed for this one, but try not to go nuts.)

How about this?

Best I have is a sign on the NJ Turnpike: 159 Minutes (via 295) to get to Wilmington, DE (about 46 miles away).  And apparently that was down from 180 minutes earlier!

This is my complete set of Illinois shields proving I've been to every marked state road in Illinois:

(This is what I've started calling "conquering" a state-visiting one point on each of a state's highways.  I hope to conquer Indiana soon, and also WI, IA, and MI.)

Good luck doing that in Louisiana.

Yeah, Kentucky and Louisiana are just out of the realm of possibility XD.  Thinking about trying Ohio, which is insane enough.

Here's a sign assembly with an Interstate, US, and state route in Syracuse.  As a bonus, there's even a Thruway shield!

EDIT: After clicking submit, I was looking around the intersection some more, and I noticed that all four approaches have doghouse signals.

EDIT 2: Here's a full set of Cuomo signs.   It was hard to get them all on the screen.

Sorry for posting so many photos, but I have a complete set of pictures on the limited-access section of Tennessee Highway 153 (in Chattanooga), which shows the signage for every exit:



















(That last photo is of the quasi-interchange with N. Access Rd. just north of the Chickamauga Dam.)


Once again, I am unbelievably sorry for piling so many photos into one post.

February 24 Challenge: => Post photos of a road that goes over a dam:

I got this idea from looking back on those photos of TN SR 153 that are a couple of years old (for contributing to the last challenge). Here is my contribution, it being Tennessee Highway 153 looking Northbound about to go on top of the Chickamauga Dam:

U.S. Route 1 uses the Conowingo Dam to cross the Susquehanna River between Harford and Cecil counties in Maryland.

Here's one when US 93 still used the Hoover Dam.  You can see some cars crossing along with lots of pedestrians.  October 26, 2003.



From the same day, here's a look at the construction of the Arizona side approach of what now carries US 93.

My contribution is also from the Conowingo Dam:

Here's a pedestrian path that goes over a dam.  It's located just off of Northfield Road (CT 254) in Thomaston:

Florida is one I'm trying for (I'd estimate I'm a little over halfway there on SR/SSRs); probably not as mind-bending as Kentucky, or Texas,  Louisiana, but not as arduous as California or Montana. At least with Ohio, it's a compact enough state, even if it has 500 or so SRs.

Good thing you don't have to count A1A in Key West as a separate highway.
