June 27, 2009: DE 1 and US 13 cross for the last time in northern Delaware. There are four different states represented on these two signs: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York. Delaware was my 47th state visited — … Continue reading →

August 6, 2005: I-74 near Peoria between two interstate junctions in a row, I-474 and I-155. The semi is from a company in Winfield, Iowa. An interstate intersecting two other interstates consecutively is pretty rare. In the Midwest, I-55 has … Continue reading →

May 25, 2003: The now-defunct gas station on V18 at I-80 south of Brooklyn. It was in business just long enough to get rebranded to BP — that’s why I took the picture, Standards were rare anyway — but closed … Continue reading →

August 5, 2010: I left this picture big so you can see the “Oklahoma” inside the oddly shaped interstate shields. This is on I-40 approaching the east end of the multiplex. US 270 is hidden here.

August 3, 2010: In the 1990s and 2000s, Missouri upgraded MO 152 to be a four-lane connector between I-29 and I-35 on the north side of Kansas City, but south of the airport. The use of Topeka as a control … Continue reading →

August 10, 2007: Wrong-way multiplex for US 151, WI 32, and WI 57 in Chilton, Wisconsin. This isn’t the only time 151 is contrary; in Cedar Rapids, US 151 and US 218 have a wrong-way triplex with US 30. The … Continue reading →

April 18, 2006: Guidance on I-280 approaching I-74. At a cloverleaf interchange on the south side of the Quad Cities, US 6 leaves I-74, then turns east at the airport, and then intersects US 150. US 150 used to go … Continue reading →

October 13, 2006: South English. Keokuk County has seven state numbers — 1, 21, 22, 23, 78, 92, and 149 — but no US routes. (It also had IA 77 until 2003.)

August 21, 2006: Sign at the Missouri state line, 13 miles north of its south end near Maryville. Even-numbered highways in Missouri conventionally run east-west, but this is an exception because it was created to continue from an Iowa number. … Continue reading →

September 1, 2009: Rochester makes an appearance on this sign heading north out of Luxemburg. I am not sure it is the first. For the rest of its route in Iowa, US 52 will run through, out of, and around … Continue reading →
