Here US 9 joins the two highways for an 0.7-mile (1.2 km) concurrency, the only combination of three U.S. highways in the state.

Hey, what about at the Bear Mountain Circle where US 6, US 202, and US 9W meet? There's even a wrong way concurrency in the circle (US 6 east and US 202 west, for the leg between the Palisades Parkway and 9W south). -HiFiGuy 03:50, 27 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I don't count concurrencies in circles ... I suppose you could but they're really just glorified four-way intersections. Though I'll bet that's the only traffic circle in the country featuring three U.S. highways. Daniel Case 04:28, 27 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I have noticed that there is a bit of an edit war on this page. Use this space to find a compromise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.160.217.229 (talk) 20:01, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

As far as I'm concerned, Alt routes do not need to be in the major junctions, and small things like mentioning the 100 foot piece of Route 23 in New York as CR 15 just wastes space and makes the whole thing too wordy. That's why I put in the major intersections US 6 and 202 Alt as a street name, to take up less space but avoid any inaccuracies. Smith0124 (talk) 20:05, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

In my opinion, it is inaccurate to say that NJ 23 ends in New York when it ends at the state line. Street signs support this fact. I do not think US 6 ever intersects NJ 23. For the alternate routes, I'm not going to do that. I didn't mean to start an edit war. I just was trying to maintain the accuracy of the routes US 6 intersects. Also, Beacon is never listed on the destination signs. It is either Middletown or Newburgh. There are other inaccuracies with the edits made. If there are two exit ramps to Palisades Interstate Parkway south, for instance, it is not two separate intersections. Just do a mile span. Also, the version now on the page is missing mileage that I added. Furthermore, the edits messed up links to other Wikipedia pages. Again, not starting an edit war, but my edits were just fine and upheld the authenticity of the article. I am contemplating reinstating some prior changes, including the mileage and destination signs, to make the article more correct. Last thing: @Smith0124 could have started on the talk page, considering I made the edits first and nobody had complaints but that user. This user seemed to redo the article to their tastes, disregarding correct information that was already there. I will reinstate the prior version at some point when tensions have cooled and mistakes are understood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RFUVA (talk • contribs) 20:14, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

In fact, I just checked Google Street View and the signage at the NJ 23 intersection only says NJ 23. I even put in directions that required turning from US 6 onto NJ 23, and it said "turn left onto NJ 23 S". On the map itself, its marked as NJ 23. Check for yourself. There's zero mention of CR 15. Same story at the off-ramp from I-84 and exit 1 signage on I-84. At the interchange in Brewster, there's I-84 signage alongside I-684 and NY 22. And no offense but you could've started on the talk page as well, my version was here first. Let's just settle this though. Smith0124 (talk) 20:46, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

I have seen street signs that have said "to" the specific route, but whatever. I think we're both at fault for this petty fight, so I apologize, and I will not reinstate my prior edits. RFUVA (talk) 21:41, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Actually, please put the mile marker corrections back. The entire edit wasn’t bad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smith0124 (talk • contribs) 22:37, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

I've made a few updates to the infobox. Please be careful not to imply that intersecting highways run concurrently. In a few cases, it looks like people listed two highways as a single junction because they individually intersect US 6 in the same community. Please don't do this. The infobox and lead should be a summary of the article, and it goes without saying that they should be an accurate summary too. Imzadi 1979 → 03:40, 26 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
