I had hope of a Hartford-Boston-Albany combo around here on I-91 South, but if that exists, I don't have a picture of it.  So here's a Boston/Albany.  August 30, 2007.

I also thought there might be a triple capital sign in the New England Area, but I guess they don't exist.  Anyway any of the two capital signs are also nice finds.

Rats!  If only that weight restriction sign in the background had an ordinance number at the bottom, it might have a "5" as well, but it doesn't have one.

I wonder how common those are in Texas...

I wonder how common those are in Texas...

I've not seen any, but Texas is heavy on Flashing Yellow Arrows

I've not seen any, but Texas is heavy on Flashing Yellow Arrows

I was wondering because of the prevalence of double red orbs in Texas.  I can easily imagine a stoplight with two red orbs, one yellow orb, one green orb, one yellow arrow, and one green arrow.

I went through GSV in the area, and could find a few doubles that weren't mentioned, such as Hartford / Boston, Hartford / Albany, and even Albany / Providence

Closest I can find to a triple capital is the I-55/I-240 interchange in Memphis. There's Nashville, Jackson Miss, and Little Rock all listed, but never in the same direction. Going south on I-240 you see Nashville and Jackson, but St Louis is shown for I-55 north even though Little Rock is shown approaching that interchange from the south.

Challenge: Post road or street name signs, where a thing with the same name coincidentally appears in the photo.

For example: a photo of Maple St. with a maple tree in the background; or of Mechanic St. with an auto repair shop visible; or Ford St. with a Ford vehicle driving past.

The juxtaposition should be more or less unintentional; i.e., a photo of Capitol St. showing the state capitol, or Stadium Way showing the ballpark it leads to, are not what's intended.

Good job!  You have a trifecta!

[I'm really surprised that it exists there, as I would have thought New England is a more likely location.]

This may be stretching the rules a little but here is Arch Street and a golden arches.

Actually, I'd say that's just about right. :-)

This has also got me thinking about the Maple St. example...are there places where a group of streets are named for different trees, and actually decorated with those same trees?
