36-659: Source: The Shanghai portion of the Shanghai–Kunming Expressway was originally designated A8 by the municipal government and was also known as the Shanghai–Hangzhou Expressway. In Shanghai, the Shanghai–Kunming Expressway is a concurrency for its entire length with G92 Hangzhou Bay Ring Expressway . The Zhejiang portion of the expressway runs from the Shanghai border to the Jiangxi border, passing through

72-467: A comprehensive reform of highway numbering in 1964 . [REDACTED] Media related to Concurrency at Wikimedia Commons Indiana State Road 67 State Road 67 in the U.S. state of Indiana cuts a diagonal route from southwest to northeast across the state from the north side of Vincennes to Indianapolis to the Ohio state line, where it becomes State Route 29 east of Bryant . State Road 67

108-578: A section of a continuous Highway 403, the new link was designated as a western extension of the tolled Highway 407, with the Mississauga section of Highway 403 planned to be renumbered as Highway 410. The renumbering to 410 never came to pass, and consequently Highway 403 was signed concurrently along the Queen Elizabeth Way in 2002, remedying the discontinuity. Nonetheless, many surface street signs referring to that section of freeway with

144-433: A single mountain crossing or over a bridge, or through a major city, it is often economically and practically advantageous for them all to be accommodated on a single physical roadway. In some jurisdictions, however, concurrent numbering is avoided by posting only one route number on highway signs; other route numbers disappear at the start of the concurrency and reappear when it ends. However, any route that becomes unsigned in

180-423: A single numbered route across each province (an exception being the switching of the designation between Nova Scotia Highways 104 and 105 ), or has branches that are signed exclusively as TCH routes. In Ontario and Quebec, The TCH follows a series of provincial highways, and also has branches that follow sections of others that have concurrencies with it, signed with TCH shields alongside the provincial number. In

216-536: A variety of concurrences which can occur. An example of this is the concurrency of Interstate 70 (I-70) and I-76 on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in western Pennsylvania . I-70 merges with the Pennsylvania Turnpike so the route number can ultimately continue east into Maryland; instead of having a second physical highway built to carry the route, it is combined with the Pennsylvania Turnpike and

252-463: Is a two-lane highway, with intermittent stretches of four-lane undivided highway, from Vincennes to near Martinsville , where it becomes a four-lane limited-access highway. SR 67 overlaps U.S. Highway 231 from three miles (5 km) southwest of Worthington, Indiana , to six miles (10 km) north of Spencer , a distance of approximately 30 miles (48 km). Once SR 67 reaches Indianapolis, as Kentucky Avenue, it overlaps Interstate 465 around

288-521: Is in downtown Athens, Georgia , between exits 4 and 8 of SR 10 Loop , where the highway is concurrent with US 29 , US 78 , US 129 , US 441 , SR 8 , SR 15 , and SR 422. In the United States, concurrencies are simply marked by placing signs for both routes on the same or adjacent posts. The federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices prescribes that when mounting these adjacent signs together that

324-554: Is officially designated " Daniel Interchange ", providing half of the possible interchange directions. It is a one-mile (1.6 km) segment consisting of eight lanes providing high-speed access between the two highways. Access from Highway 1 west to Highway 6 south and Highway 6 north to Highway 1 east is provided via Route 431 , while access between Highway 1 east to Highway 6 north and Highway 6 south to Highway 1 west are provided at Ben Shemen Interchange. The other movements are provided through

360-595: Is signed) and Interstate 81 (which runs primarily northeast–southwest, but is also signed north–south). A vehicle might simultaneously be on I-77 northbound and I-81 southbound, while actually traveling due westbound. An unusual example of a three-directional concurrency occurs southeast of Rhinelander, Wisconsin , where US 8 westbound (the actual compass direction) converges with southbound Wisconsin Highway 17 and northbound Wisconsin Highway 47 , and vice-versa. Often when two routes with exit numbers overlap, one of

396-570: The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials for permission to truncate US 27 at Fort Wayne, Indiana . In 2002, Michigan removed the US ;27 designation from I-69 and extended the US ;127 designation from Lansing to Grayling. MDOT's stated reason for the modification was to "reduce confusion along the US 27/US 127 corridor". After US 27's signage

432-584: The Oklahoma – Arkansas state line. At the northern end of this border Oklahoma State Highway 20 runs concurrently with Arkansas Highway 43 and the two highways run north–south along the boundary. Concurrencies are also found in Canada. British Columbia Highway 5 continues east for 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) concurrently with Highway 1 and Highway 97 , through Kamloops . This stretch of road, which carries Highway 97 south and Highway 5 north on

468-499: The concurrency of I-75 and I-85 in Atlanta, Georgia —where I-75 is dominant—the exit numbers range from 242 to 251, while I-85's highest independent mile marker in Georgia is 179. Some brief concurrencies in the past have been eliminated by reassigning the designations along the roadways. This can involve scaling back the terminus of one designation to the end of a concurrent section. At

504-570: The Czech Republic, the European route numbers are only additional, and they are always concurrent with the state route numbering, usually highways or first-class roads. In the state numbering system, concurrences exist only in first-class and second-class roads; third class roads do not have them. The local term for such concurrences is peáž (from the French word péage ). In the road register, one of

540-603: The I-76 designation. The longest Interstate Highway concurrency is I-80 and I-90 for 278 miles (447 km) across Indiana and Ohio . There are at least two examples of eight-way concurrencies. The first example is in Indianapolis, between exits 46 and 47 of the 53-mile (85 km) I-465 beltway , where the highway is concurrent with I-69 , U.S. Highway 31 (US 31), US 36 , US 40 , US 52 , US 421 , and State Road 67 . The second example

576-676: The QEW/Highway ;403 concurrency still only use the highway's original designation of QEW, although the MTO has updated route markers on the QEW to reflect the concurrency. At the national level, the Trans-Canada Highway , which does not bear a uniform number in the eastern provinces, follows various provincial highways. In the Atlantic Provinces the main designated TCH route either follows

612-883: The UK, the existence of these concurrencies is purely theoretical. In Sweden and Denmark, the most important highways use only the European route numbers that have cardinal directions. In Sweden the European route E6 and E20 run concurrently for 280 kilometres (170 mi). In Denmark the E47 and E55 run concurrently for 157 kilometres (98 mi). There are more shorter concurrencies. There are two stretches in Sweden and Denmark where three European routes run concurrently; these are E6, E20 and E22 in Sweden, and E20, E47, and E55 in Denmark. Along all these concurrencies, all route numbers are posted with signs. In

648-506: The US 40 intersections, SR 67 was left alone on West Street. For a few feet, the road split into two one-way roads: Missouri Street northbound, and West Street southbound. It then turned right onto Kentucky Avenue (from Kentucky Avenue, SR 67 went on South Street, then turned left onto Missouri Street). It traveled onto Kentucky Avenue for about one mile, then onto Morris and Harding Streets for another mile. From there, SR 67 went onto Kentucky Avenue for

684-615: The United Kingdom, routes do not run concurrently with others. Where this would normally occur, the roadway takes the number of only one of the routes (usually, but not always, the most important route), while the other routes are considered to have a gap and are signed in brackets (the equivalent of "to" signs in North America). An example is the meeting of the M60 and the M62 northwest of Manchester :

720-524: The cities of Hangzhou , Jinhua , and Quzhou . The Jiangxi portion of the expressway passes through the cities of Shangrao , Nanchang , Yichun , and Pingxiang . The Hunan section of the expressway passes through the cities of Zhuzhou , Shaoyang , and Huaihua . The portion of the expressway connecting Sansui County and Kaili City is known as the Sankai Expressway. The Kaima Expressway connects Kaili City to Majiang County . The portion of

756-455: The concurrency. Since highways in the United States and Canada are usually signed with assigned cardinal directions based on their primary orientation, it is possible for a stretch of roadway shared between two highways to be signed with conflicting, even opposite, cardinal directions in a wrong-way concurrency . For example, near Wytheville, Virginia , there is a concurrency between Interstate 77 (which runs primarily north–south, as it

792-605: The expressway connecting Guiyang City and Zhenning County is known as the Qingzhen Expressway. In Yunnan Province, the expressway passes through the city of Qujing before terminating in Kunming . Note: italic indicates the routes that were available in 2013 network plan, but removed in 2022 network plan Concurrency (road) A concurrency in a road network is an instance of one physical roadway bearing two or more different route numbers . When two roadways share

828-579: The middle of the concurrency will still be signed on most maps and road atlases. Most concurrencies are simply a combination of at least two route numbers on the same physical roadway. This is often practically advantageous as well as economically advantageous; it may be better for two route numbers to be combined into one along rivers or through mountain valleys. Some countries allow for concurrencies to occur, however, others specifically do not allow it to happen. In those nations which do permit concurrencies, it can become very common. In these countries, there are

864-558: The motorways coincide for the seven miles (11 km) between junctions 12 and 18 but the motorway between those points is only designated as the M60 (although in this case the same junction numbers would also apply to the M62). European route numbers as designated by UNECE may have concurrencies (for instance E15 and E30 around Greater London ), but since the E-route numbers are unsigned and unused in

900-469: The numbers will be arranged vertically or horizontally in order of precedence. The order to be used is Interstate Highways , U.S. Highways , state highways , and finally county roads , and within each class by increasing numerical value. Several states do not officially have any concurrencies, instead officially ending routes on each side of one. There are several circumstances where unusual concurrencies exist along state borders. One example occurs along

936-491: The province's only concurrency between two 400-series highways . The concurrency was not in the original plan which intended for both the QEW and Highway 403 to run parallel to each other, as the Hamilton–Brantford and Mississauga sections of Highway 403 were initially planned to be linked up along a corridor (later planned to be tolled ) now occupied by Highway 407 . To avoid forcing drivers to pay tolls to use

972-418: The road becomes West Street with U.S. 52 briefly overlapping US 36/US 421/SR 67. At Washington Street (westbound) and Maryland Street (eastbound) (both U.S. 40 ), US 36/52/421 separated from SR 67. US 36 went onto Washington Street (it enters West Street after turning left from Maryland Street). US 52/421 turned left onto Maryland Street (they enter West Street after turning right from Washington Street). After

1008-472: The roads is considered the main ("source") road and the others as the péaging (guest) roads. The official road map enables a maximum of five concurrent routes of the intrastate numbering system. Cycling routes and hiking routes are often concurrent. In Israel, two freeways , the Trans-Israel Highway (Highway 6), and Highway 1 run concurrently just east of Ben Shemen Interchange . The concurrency

1044-434: The routes has its exit numbers dominate over the other and can sometimes result in having two exits of the same number, albeit far from each other along the same highway. An example of this is from the concurrency of I-94 and US 127 near Jackson , Michigan. The concurrent section of freeway has an exit with M-106 , which is numbered exit 139 using I-94's mileage-based numbers. US 127 also has another exit 139 with

1080-429: The same right-of-way , it is sometimes called a common section or commons . Other terminology for a concurrency includes overlap , coincidence , duplex (two concurrent routes), triplex (three concurrent routes), multiplex (any number of concurrent routes), dual routing or triple routing . Concurrent numbering can become very common in jurisdictions that allow it. Where multiple routes must pass between

1116-630: The same manner as it began: as a rural, two-lane highway. Portions of the route overlap others. SR 67 was so numbered and aligned because it was planned as a potential northeastern extension of U.S. Route 67 . US 67 was later extended northward away from Indiana. SR 67 was routed through downtown before the opening of I-465. SR 67 overlapped US 36 for most of the way. The route consisted of Pendleton Pike, then turned right onto 38th Street. The routes then overlapped U.S. 421 when they turned left onto Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street. After I-65 ,

1152-734: The same roadway (and vice versa), is the only wrong-way concurrency in British Columbia. Concurrencies are also very common in Quebec . Most notably, the Samuel-de-Champlain Bridge features a concurrency with three Autoroutes: A-10 , A-15 , and A-20 . Another example is A-55 , which runs concurrently with A-10, A-20, and A-40 , all of which are major highways. In Ontario , the Queen Elizabeth Way and Highway 403 run concurrently between Burlington and Oakville , forming

1188-652: The same time, there could be an extension of another highway designation that is used to replace the newly shortened designation with another one. Between states, US 27 in Michigan previously ran concurrently with I-69 from the Michigan–Indiana state line to the Lansing, Michigan , area. From there it turned northwards to its terminus at Grayling . In 1999, the Michigan and Indiana departments of transportation petitioned

1224-502: The south and east sides of the city until Exit 42, where SR 67 and U.S. Highway 36 depart the city to the northeast as Pendleton Pike. U.S. Highway 36 splits off from State Road 67 in Pendleton and proceeds east. SR 67 joins Interstate 69 from Anderson to Daleville , where it leaves the interstate and becomes an expressway bypass that serves the south and east sides of Muncie . Northeast of Muncie, SR 67 wraps up its diagonal run in

1260-539: The southern end of the US 127 business loop in Mount Pleasant , Michigan. (US 127's mile markers in Michigan reflect the cumulative distance north of the Ohio state line; the numbers resume north of the I-94 overlap and reflect the distance accumulated on that concurrency.) However, there are also instances where the dominant exit number range is far more than the secondary route's highest exit number, for example

1296-540: Was removed, the highway north of the Lansing area was renumbered US 127, and the US 27 designation was removed from I-69. Some consolidation schemes involve the use of incorporating two single-digit numbers onto one marker, as along the US 1/9 concurrency in northern New Jersey . In the mid-20th century, California had numerous concurrencies, but the California Legislature removed most of them in
