state route endpoint oddities

[prenatt1166]

PA 446 ends at NY 305 at the state line near Eldred, PA and NY 446 ends at NY 305 in Cuba, NY about 16 miles apart.  Are there other state routes that serve as an endpoint for two different state routes with the same number?  I realize most of these would most likely involve a state line ending but if so, are there any closer than the 16 miles between PA 446 and NY 446 on NY 305?

Depends if you consider the western OK 15 and the eastern OK 15 "two different routes with the same number". When US 412 was commissioned it took over a big chunk of OK 15, so now there are two different OK 15s, both of which end at US 412. But then US 412 isn't a state route...

There are three OK 9As that end at OK 9, but that's probably not the sort of thing you're looking for.

US 9 and DE 9 both end at US 13 on opposite ends of Delaware.

This happens all over Arkansas.  For example, two of AR 74's many segments end at US 71.  AHTD's braindead policy of discontinuous routes makes this inevitable.

[xonhulu]

Both I-82 and OR 82 end on US 30 in Oregon.

But we're drifting off your original situation a bunch by including non-state routes.  Your example is pretty unusual, and I can't think of any other state route examples.

I guess the closest but not quite on point example I can think of is the US-89/WYO 89 situation.

US-89 enters Idaho and comes to a junction with Idaho 61. Idaho 61 turns into Wyoming 89 about half a mile later, so Idaho 61 begins at WYO 89 and ends at US-89.

[US71]

This happens all over Arkansas.  For example, two of AR 74's many segments end at US 71.  AHTD's braindead policy of discontinuous routes makes this inevitable.

The 2 AR 74's are less than 5 miles apart.

There's also AR 282 near Mountainburg

[Quillz]

Not quite the same, but kind of odd: CA-138 terminates at CA-18 around the Big Bear Lake area, yet CA-18 terminates at CA-138 near Victorville. Not really unusual, but what is unusual is that CA-18 is shaped like a question mark so it doesn't really have a clearly defined orientation, and it can basically work as nothing more than a glorified loop of CA-138.

NY 421 starts at NY 30 just south of Tupper Lake (the middle of nowhere) and ends after just under six miles at a dead-end in the middle of nowhere!

[US71]

AR 170 starts at US 62 in Farmington and ends at US 62 in Prairie Grove

Another section of AR 170 begins in West Fork, then changes to AR 74, which ends in Winslow, without changing roads.

NY 14's northern terminus is a cul-de-sac! http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=&ll=43.267081,-76.973423&spn=0.004148,0.006899&z=17

[Scott5114]

Is this just a generic "termini oddities" page? If so, I should bring up the Y-shaped OK 63A and OK-77S, which has no less than four termini (two on the "main loop", then two spurs connecting with other highways).

[agentsteel53]

interstate 710 has six termini - it splits into three at its south terminus at the cruise ship dock, and then it ends at 210/134 in Pasadena.  In between there are two termini at Valley Boulevard and a few blocks south of 210.

[TheStranger]

Based on signage, the state route segment of Route 110 has a terminus at I-10.

That is, if you're starting northbound.

If you're going southbound, state Route 110 becomes I-110 at the Four-Level Interchange with US 101, a full 2-3 miles north of I-10!

[kurumi]

Up until 1963, CT 145 had a 3-way intersection with itself in Westbrook, Conn. I'd love to see how that was signed.

[74/171FAN]

VA 35 ends at two secondary roads just northwest of I-95 instead of ending at US 301 or at I-95 itself

[Ian]

There are a number of routes along Maine's many peninsulas that end abruptly. ME 216 ends at a series of dirt roads just south of Head Beach in Phippsburg.

[florida]

With the decommissioning of part of FL 371 in downtown Tallahassee, both of FL 363's termini do not touch any state routes; the south terminus dead ends in St. Marks and the north terminus splits into three legs (a one-way-pair, and a spur route consisting of the old alignment).

[Quillz]

CA State Route 211 simply ends five miles south of US-101 because it was intended to be a northern extension of CA-1 which was never built, leaving a glorified stub route behind.

In similar vein...

Route 59 peters out in Snelling and becomes County Route J59
Route 270 stops at the edge of the Bodie ghost town, amongst several other connectors to parks/monuments (i.e. Route 153)

The legislative definition of Route 160 now includes a gap between the American River and...the "south city limits of Sacramento," even though those city limits are just 1/4 mile from Interstate 5, which (along with Richards Boulevard north of downtown) would make a good replacement connection for both halves of the route!!!!

VA 5 ends on a useless multiplex with US 60 at 25th Street in Richmond, instead of just ending at US 60 three blocks earlier.

[mightyace]

On PA 42's north end, the highway comes up from Bloomsburg and Millville to intersect US 220 south of Muncy Valley.  It then multiplexes with US 220 for about a mile or so then splits off to go through Eagles Mere, PA before returning to US 220 to end at it in Laporte.

TN SSR 246 has both of it's endpoints at US 31.  The north end is in Franklin, TN at 7th Ave S and Columbia Ave.  (The Google map below is slightly wrong as the stretch of W Main St between 5th Ave N/S and 7th Ave N/S is one way westbound.  Thus, 246 makes a turn to/from 7th Ave S to end at US 31.  Therefore, it just misses meeting US 431 and TN 96 by two blocks.

The south end of 246 is at US 31 north of Columbia, TN.

[D-Dey65]

Does anybody remember my lists of State Route extensions that should exist?
https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=2581.msg57328#msg57328
Those oddities are the reason for my extension ideas.

[mapman1071]

AZ99 Ends 20mi (32.2km) south of Winslow In the middle of Nowhere
The road continues south a a no name/number county road to the National Forest boundary
then as a forest road to Rim Road (FH300) Near Woods Canyon Lake.

Up until 1963, CT 145 had a 3-way intersection with itself in Westbrook, Conn. I'd love to see how that was signed.

Norway route 820 is like that.



here, all three branches are signed "to 820" (the dashed outline implies a trailblazer) - but all three routes are 820.  The road loops around a peninsula and ends at a T-intersection with itself.
