What about 2 double digits.

Doesn't qualify, although you could certainly introduce this later on as a Challenge of its own. (Take a look back, though; I seem to recall at least one prior Challenge having to do with digits being the same.)

It does qualify, twice actually (although trivially); the top sign has two of the digit 2 and no other digits, while the US 44 sign has two of the digit 4 and no other digits. Two-digit routes that are two of the same digit are quite common, though (which is why my contribution of NH 33 was also Exit 3).

Ah...you're reading the Challenge as "...signs where all the digits are the same number." I was reading it as "photos...where all the digits are the same number." I see how it could be taken either way; I wonder what 7/8's original intention was?

I was thinking of empirestate's interpretation, but I guess it could've been worded better.

Useful graffiti, which tells drivers that 85 North is the "second right". This is on Bridgeport Road around the Kitchener-Waterloo, ON border.

Some classy individual decided that the Lunt Garden should be Blunt Garden.



And then there's plain old vandalism. This sign was pretty quickly replaced, which surprised me, for how slowly the city of Des Moines otherwise seems to move.

It was replaced a number of years ago, but this was once found on the New England Thruway (I-95) northbound:

If Eisenhower was represented by anything other than one of these on this forum, I'd say the poster would have to be banned.

Both of these examples terminate at city limits, becoming city streets.

IA-85's western terminus at Montezuma

Here's the northern end of New York 171 in Frankfort.  It never even has an intersection or interchange with another state route.  It crosses New York 5S but 5S is limited access through this area and there is no interchange.  This end is at Main Street, probably an old routing of 5S. 



The southern end is at county routes, so I guess it doesn't really qualify, but I don't remember there being any indication of those CR numbers when I arrived at the southern end.

No need to look far for this.  There's one in the town where I grew up.  Port Washington Boulevard (NY 101) turns into Middle Neck Road, an unnumbered county road, at Harbor Road, another unnumbered county road.

Oooh, that's a good one–nice and random. Is there a known reason for why it just ends right there?

No bonus points for me

Norfolk CR 59 (former King's Highway 59) ends at Long Point Provincial Point.
