“JCT” SR 503 coming up. What this really means is that SR 503 will appear out of thin air following this stoplight. It didn’t used to be this way. SR 500 used to turn right here and follow Fourth Plain Blvd. SR 503 continued straight on NE 117th Ave. In 2005, they rerouted SR 500 so that it continues on NE 117th Ave from here and turns on Padden Pkwy. So while the JCT of SR 503 is right up here, its useless and SR 503 doesn’t leave SR 500 for another couple miles
