The only duplication in Iowa (1969-2003) where both versions are state highways is 15. The more-known one goes from IA 3 in Pocahontas County to the Minnesota line. Both 15s cover much more ground in the other states; Minnesota's goes to US 10 in St. Cloud.

Ben says, "This picture shows the southern terminus of Missouri Highway 15 at US Highway 54. The sign at the turnoff directs traffic to Interstate 70, which is about 20 some miles away from Mexico. There is no end sign at this terminus."

Ben says, "This picture shows the southern beginning of Missouri Highway 15 at US Highway 54." Highway 54 comes north, and then angles northeast while the business route goes through town.
