74/171FAN

QuoteMarch 17: Post a junction of a route number with a 1 in the tens place and a route number with a 7 in the tens place, in your state or province.  We will want a route in the teens and a route in the seventies, for example.

PA 17 and PA 74 intersect in Ickesburg (and I presume that showing segment markers instead of shields is within the rules  :nod:).

Another case where Oregon has no examples.  So just to stay in the game, I will go to Montana again for US 212 and MT 78 in Red Lodge:



Fortunately, Oregon does have examples of the next few upcoming tens-place combos.

The next 3 days:
March 18: Post the junction of a route in the teens and a route in the eighties. In other words, post the junction of a route with a 1 in the tens place and a route with an 8 in the tens place, in your state/province.
March 19: Post the junction of a route in the teens and a route in the nineties. In other words, post the junction of a route with a 1 in the tens place and a route with an 9 in the tens place, in your state/province.
March 20: Post the junction of a route in the twenties and another route in the twenties. In other words, post the junction of a route with a 2 in the tens place and a separate route with an 2 in the tens place, in your state/province.

US 431 goes through nearby Gadsden but 231 is about 15 miles west of the area.

I can finally share photos from Oregon again, since the state features four of these junctions and I have photos of two of them.

OR 19 and I-84, Arlington (this photo was also used in round 1):



OR 414 and OR 86, Halfway:



As of my last visit in 2021, OR 414 was completely unsigned, but it is the road continuing straight ahead in the photo. It's also only about a mile long, so ODOT might consider it too insignificant to post shields for it.

So I'll do it: here's another GIMP-doctored photo of what this intersection should look like:

It's a traffic circle around the town's county courthouse, hence the duplicate arrows.

EDIT: On that same trip, I also got a photo of the exact US 20/NY 22 sign Jim played one post after me. I couldn't play it because it's not in my state.

Oregon has 1 junction where three 20's meet: US 20, OR 22 and OR 126. I've used this junction twice before, but here's a third view of the intersection:
