Comment: VA 6Y is on the wrong leg of the triangle with US 29 and VA 6. But it is this way because one cannot turn left onto US 29 NB, which is the movement VA 6 EB needs to make. So VA 6 is routed the way it is.
VA 6Y was once the US 29 movement through this area. I had thought maybe VA 6-Y started out on the other leg when US 29 was still two-lane from 1966-80 but county maps show otherwise.
