202 likeses its multiplexeses. It also likeses strange fontses and narrow shieldses.

You can't see that this sign on US 6/202 EB is for I-84 West, but you can see the control destination of N.Y. State.


The famous cutouts, near Exit 3 of I-84, on what was once Old Kenosia Road, unfortunately gone now - the renaming of the road for Christopher Columbus killed them. Oh, yeah, they were older than I-84. Thanks to Doug Kerr for capturing them in their old age.


To add insult to injury, Kenosia Road's end at US 6/202 has these abominations (not the tasteful I-84, the others).


US 202 EB and WB, respectively, at the end of the northern US 7 freeway. In the second photo, US 7 SB is leaving its multiplex with US 202 WB, although when the sign was erected US 7 was meant to continue north on its freeway alignment. Thus in the first photo, US 7 North isn't really meant to be straight ahead, but rather the ramp onto it was meant to be the next turn.


EB from Woodville to Litchfield.


WB signage from the US 202/US 44 multiplex, including small-font shields such as the 167's that tell you they have two directions but fail to specify which is which. Why not just put SOUTH on the left, NORTH on the right, and give the extra shield to a roadgeek? Incidentally, that JUNCTION sign is way off base - this sign is on both of those routes, and signage should more clearly establish that what one is approaching is the split between them.


Apparently trying to respond to my criticism, this sign is new in 2007 (or maybe 2006), in the location of the second photo above. It does take US 44 out of the picture, but you still can't junction the route you're on. In my opinion, it should be an assembly with WEST 202 and SOUTH 179 to the left (and a "keep left" or "next left" sign), and WEST 44 and NORTH 179 to the right (and a "keep right" or "next right" sign).


From yet another US 202 duplex, this is with CT 10, southbound just inside Connecticut from the Congamond Notch, which steals a couple of square miles in the name of Massachusetts thanks to a surveying error and Massachusett's persistence in claiming land it doesn't have a right to.


Here is where US 202 meets CT 10 and leaves US 44.


Notice how US 202 turns north-south once it hits CT 10. Although obscured by the trees, this is US 202 NB (was EB) at the same intersection. This four-route intersection (really three, as 202/10 stay together the whole time) is a six-legged spider with CT 189 hitching rides to keep it simple. The ugly, off-font shields on the left aren't new, by the way - they seem to be a brief error made in the late 1980's or thereabouts.
