I think @xonhulu's photo is actually on US 17 Business.

US 17 meets US 11 just south of the former's northern terminus in Winchester, VA.

That's likely true. All my east coast photos are from about 20 years ago, so I'm sure a lot of them don't reflect current signage. And that assembly looks like it was dated even then.

The problem is that we are technically a bit too far to the east here. Thankfully I have photos in Conway of the actual intersection.  ;-)  :nod:

That overhead assembly was even more awesome back when both US shields were in glorious, old-school button copy:



Note as well the California state-named I-5 shield for a junction that's actually up in Oregon.  Sadly, also now gone.

I thought I might have some interesting possibilities from the long diagonal highways US 52 and US 62, but nothing matches from my collection.  But plenty of others to pick.

US 22 and US 202 in Bridgewater, New Jersey.  March 14, 2009.



US 2 and US 302 in Montpelier, Vermont.  August 16, 2015.



US 92 and US 192 in Kissimmee, Florida.  June 28, 2008.

I don't have much for the 2's. First up is the historic end of US 202 at US 2 in downtown Bangor, ME:



Close to the junction of US 62 and US 62A in Niagara Falls, NY (with former US 104 thrown in for good measure):



I'm out again tomorrow for the 2-3 day.  For some reason, I never photographed either of the junctions of 2 & 93 or 12 & 93, despite being to both several times and having other highway pictures from both areas.  Oh, well.
