U.S. Route 160, US-491 to US-491

 

Location: US-160 and US-491, Montezuma Cty

Reassurance shield omitting US-491 after the junction. I’m not sure if the lack of signage is a function of the fact that 491 used to be 666, and 666 signs got stolen a lot, so not many were posted or if this is just Colorado being bad at concurrencies.

Location: US-160 and Indian Route, Montezuma Cty

Reassurance shield a couple miles north of the junction

Location: US-160 and BIA 201, Montezuma Cty

A couple miles later, we’ll approach BIA 201- turn left for it at the intersection.
