I always enjoy running across these. I read or heard years ago that crossing a river, as here, is the most common place for these. Route Something/SomethingA runs on either side of the river, and where they cross this necessarily happens. However, I don't know how you would measures that easily. I suppose AI could find out just that sort of thing for you now. I always associate this North-South contradiction with different route numbers in town centers.
For locals, this is Queen City Bridge
They also occur when a bypass route is built around a city. On the south edge of Cedar Rapids, US 218 North runs concurrently with US 151 South over a bypass route built primarily for US 30 West (and vice versa)
ReplyDeleteThere's a chunk of road here where 280 east is 580 west and vice-versa. Of course, the road actually goes north-south there.
ReplyDeleteI knew there'd be a few places like that.
