At top, an old green sign showing I-293 with the Everett Turnpike and a new green sign adding a concurrency to the mix. There had been old signs for the 293/NH 3-A/Everett multiplex, but all in both directions have since been replaced. Just above and to the left, you have a squished shield in a milepost. The point of a milepost is to show the miles, but they're dwarfed by the rest of the unnecessary message.

All photos below are SB. Notice that just like on the milepost, NH refuses to use 3di-width shields for I-293, although I-393 gets them.


NH has a strange half-square half-rounded BGS outline. This sign is somewhat old, but new enough to have the added kilometric measurement - not bad for the most conservative state in the Northeast.


The tolled Everett Turnpike ("A TOLL ROAD", not just "TOLL" like New Jersey might sign it) continues southward, and now I-293 curves eastward (it may start out going right, but trust me, it curves back), multiplexing with NH 101.


New Hampshire doesn't assign exit numbers to freeway-freeway junctions. We're about to hit the multiplex, where the following happens:


U-turn? (Do U really?) Actually, this loop puts traffic onto the Everett Turnpike NB right before it merges into I-293 NB. So, why bother having it? NH 101/Everett Tpk./I-293 is a four-cornered intersection that has sufficiently messed-up ramps where I-293 SB merges with NH 101 EB before 101 EB's exit for I-293 NB leaves it. So, these signs aren't meant for I-293 SB travelers, though a somewhat quick lane change (500 feet or so) could let you double back toward Manchester.

Exit 4 to NH 3-A alone
Exit 4 to US 3

Straight ahead to I-93
