 NY 13, NY 41 and US 11(again!) in Cortland. |
 Rilly ancient sines in Cortland. |
 Meet me at the corner of Main and Main. Wait...What? |
 Avast! And Yo! Ho! Ho! Sine Salad® off the Starboard Bow! Lots of choice here, from ancient to ugly and wrong. US 11 and US 41 do run concurrently, In Chattanooga, TN, in a wrong-way multiplex. |
 A slightly off ‘Doghouse’ setup here. The arrow heads are supposed to be 12” like the red light. |
 The junction of Clinton Ave.(ahead), Elm Ave.(verging right), and Church Street(crossing), looking east, in Cortland NY. |
 The Clinton/Church/Elm junction again, looking south on Church Street, Featuring an old NY 222 sine. |
 Another Sine Salad®, featuring an old NY 13 Shield, this time. |
 Here we are in Chattanooga again. I don’t know who made up the US shields, they should get the sack, tho. These are maka oogly. That State U Sine prolly remembers all the droogs in the 60’s |
 And speaking of having a dejàa vu! Here we are sussin’ up on Footie’s Freeze again. |
 Meeting up with NY 281 NORTH. You wont’t see NY 281 SOUTH, since the route ends at the NY 13 junction. |
 At the NY 281 NORTH junction, there’s this A&W Root beer stand. Something you rarely see anymore. |
 Looking southwest on NY 13. |
 Another rarity, a yellow signal in the country, usually, you only find yellow signals in cities. |
 Getting ready to meet NY 38 in Dryden. |
 In central Dryden, NY 13 turns west, NY 392 turns east, and NY 38 goes straight on south. There’s an echo from the State College trip in April: NY 221 is the Doug Kerr Artiste’s Hi-way! |
 Alright, Back to Serious Road Research here, As we meet NY 366, which runs concurrently with NY 13 for a bit. |
 NY 13 becomes a freeway for a few miles northeast of central Ithaca. |
 NY 13 is a randy sort, Picking up and leaving highways everywhere. It’s shameful conduct for a trunk route, I tell you. |
 The NY 13 Freeway ends. |
 Then NY 13 splits into a couplet; running south on Fulton Street, north on Meadow. |
 More junctions in Central Ithaca: There are 7 Touring Routes in the immediate area: NY 13, NY 13B, NY 34, NY 79, NY 89, NY 96 and NY 96B. No wonder you need gantries to sort that mess out. And why not throw in a railway, just for a laugh? |
 West NY 79 junction. Note the Mini Wig wag on the traffic light. |
 The southern end of the NY 13 couplet is at the junction of Fulton, Clinton and Meadow streets. the view here is southeast, Clinton continues ahead. |
 NY 13 and Friends get a double-lane turn. |
 Here’s a roundabout at a junction in Southwest Ithaca. |
 Back on NY 13 northbound now, rollin’ down the bonzer hill south of town. |
 Articulateds doing 80MPH with a load of pigs and no brakes need not apply. |
 Fair view of Ithaca, innit? |
 Coming ’round the back way in Ithaca We’re heading east on NY 79, fixing to turn north on NY 366. |
 We get all Tony out at the junction of Hoy Road near the Cornell Campus. Sadly, no spiffy young gurls were about. |
 In the absence of young gurls, we settled for an old bridge. This truss span is on Forest Home Drive east of the Cornell campus. |
 Our old friends from the Croton Bridge Company were at it again, I see. These guise got around! |
 A nice shot taken in the middle of the road by an apolitical party. |
 Olde Curve Sine Goodness. |
 And we’re back at NY 13 at the Cayuga Heights elevated junction. |
 The Cayuga Heights overpass. Missed this the first time thru. |
 Southbound on NY 13 again heading back into Ithaca. |
 Dude, yr having a Dejà Vu again. |
 Quasi-Bonzer Curve at the NY 13-NY 34 north junction. |
 And the end of the freeway again. This time with 20% less windscreen bugs! |
 Now on the west side of Ithaca, Fixing to run along the west shore of Cayuga Lake for a bit. |
 The Cayuga Inlet Bridge. |
 And now getting back into the country after our Urbane Urban adventure! |
 Further up the Line on NY 89; Going by some lakefront homes. |
 Another look at Cayuga Lake, and another sine bitching about ‘giving away’ land stolen in the first place. |
 4-Way Stop Near Sheldrake. |
 Back in Seneca Falls, looking south across the Erie Canal at Seneca Knitting Mills. |
 A nice old cabin cruiser on the canal. |
 Looking east at the canal. |
 Looking west at the Bridge Street Bridge. |
 Looking south at the Bridge Street Bridge. The lights look rather like antennae, don’t they? |
 In the middle of the Bridge Street Bridge. |
 By the Time I get to Phœnix, she’ll build a bridge. |
 Now we get all Frank Capra on yo’ ass! |
 Guess the angel angle didn’t quite work for Antonio. Sorry, Mate. |
 Looking north across the bridge. |
 ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ themed Street signs. Separated because I didn’t want to take the flowers out of the shot. |
 ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ themed Street signs. Part two. These are at each corner of the bridge. |
 Another shot of the bridge from the east. |
 Seneca Falls Community Center. |
 Amelia Bloomer. She wore the pants in the family! Actually, all men should fall and kiss her feet, Cos without her bravery and forward thinking, We’d nevar have the eye candy we do today! (That’s likely -100 ‘PC’ points for me!) |
 Another Canal shot, from the Bridge Street Bridge, this time. |
 ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ themed Street signs. The other two across the bridge. |
 National Park Maintenance shed! Maka Excitement! |
 Seneca Falls Historical Marker. |
 The Clark street off-slip from US 20 in Auburn. |
 Multiplex Madness in central Auburn. |
 Unusual mileage sign placement. US 20 and NY 5 are a short ‘Arterial’ through Auburn, NY’s fancy way of making a one way couplet by bunging a buncha streets together. |
 Past where US 20 leaves NY 5 and bypasses Syracuse to the south, NY 5 makes a gradual northward turn and the ‘Arterial’ ends. |
 This part of New York seems to have more mast arms. And even more standard signal placement-fancy that. But no matter how normal it gets, You have NO TURN ON RED to remind you where you are. |
 NY 5 heads north for a few miles. |
 Kind of a funky little power line. |
 A nice rural section of NY 5 between Auburn and Schenectady. |
 More funky powar lines and NY 5 bends to the east. |
 NY 5 starts hitting the outskirts of Syracuse. |
 A change in character is coming soon... |
 The junction of NY 174- NY 5 loops to meet itself on the overpass above and becomes a freeway. |
 After looping the loop, here’s the freeway. |
 the Milton Avenue junction. For those who want to keep score I have a Junction List. |
 Approaching the NY 695 junction. |
 The NY 695 and NY 5 ‘Y’ junction. |
 Funky Region 3 Tenth-mile marker. This is 3.9 miles, but they neglect to include the decimal point. |
 The freeway ends at a signal ahead. |
 We turned around and are heading back onto the NY 5 Freeway. |
 Approaching the NY 695 and NY 5 ‘Y’ junction. From the west this time. |
 Now on NY 695 proper, northbound. |
 There’s not much to this freeway: At Mile 1, yr already getting ready to meet the IH 690. |
 At Mile 1.5, NY 695 ENDS! |
 This is the next offslip on the IH 690, Even though we haven’t actually joined it yet. |
 Now on the IH 690 proper. |
 The IH 690 with Onondaga Lake at left. |
 Coming up on Central Syracuse. |
 The West Street Junction. This is actually a short freeway spur. |
 Right in the middle of the IH 690-IH 81 mixmaster. Not one of your better junction designs. You can’t get to IH 81 north from here, and you have a spiffy left merge ahead. The whole area is posted for 45 MPH. |
 IH 81 enters from the left, and leaves from the right, essentially in the same space. |
 The flyover from IH 690 west to IH 81 south. |
 Teall Avenue junction. Most junctions on the IH 690 have this sort of redundant signage. |
 Midler Avenue is also NY 598, Though there’s no indication of it here. |
 Diagrammatical sign for jns 16 and 17. |
 JNS 16 and 17 leave via a collector-distributor road, the junction numbers are also indicated at the actual exits. |
 Another diagrammatical sine for the IH 481 junction at the end of the IH 690. |
 ‘Bubble’ shield on the IH 481. |
 And the end of this round of Road Research, as we join the Thruway to head on home. |
