May 23: Post a junction of a US highway ending in 2 and another US highway ending in 2.

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.

How about both? US52 and US62 in Aberdeen, Ohio
