Westbound diagram sign for the western I-81/NY-17 split. Note that a distance is not shown on the diagram sign as to how far the sign is in front of the interchange. Diagram signs in neighbouring Ontario often omit a distance as well. |

Westbound signage for the Route 7 interchange. The right-most lane of an otherwise six-lane freeway becomes a collector lane for the cloverleaf interchange. Route 7 is a short freeway that leads from the interstate into Downtown Binghamton. |

Eastbound reassurance marker for the co-designation of Route 17 and Interstate 81 just outside of Binghamton. This assembly is likely not too much longer for this world as the Interstate 86 designation is gradually extended easterly superseding the Route 17 designation. |

Westbound signage for the I-81 South interchange. Route 17 meets I-81-South at a fairly large scale interchange. |
|||

||||
Broome County |
Exit signage one mile in advance of the I-81-South interchange. It looks as if the signage for I-81 has been overlaid with a yellow tab drawing attention to the fact that the ramp to I-81-South is a left exit. Notice the black on yellow border seems just a tad smaller than the white on green signage. |

Easterly view from just a short distance east of the Fox Farm Road overpass. The eastbound passing lane ends in this picture. Notice the zone-striping that is used to restrict vehicles from entering the climbing lane as it ends. This type of striping is not common among most North American jurisdictions that I have travelled in, however it is used extensively in Quebec. |

This view looks westerly from just west of Exit 79. Note the I-86 shield pictured. (As of July 2009) this is the first westbound reassurance marker located along Route 17. I-86 has been marked between Exit 79 and I-81 South since before the Summer of 2007. |

Advanced signage for the New York Route 79 interchange. It is hard to see from the photograph, but this is button-copy signage. Button copy signs are extremely rare along Route 17. |

Westerly view of Route 79 just past the Exit 80 interchange. Notice the lone Route 17 shield in the photo. Surprisingly, no specialty shield was ever made highlighting this section of Route 17's designation as the 'Quickway'. |

Westerly view in advance of Exit 80. While Route 17 is very beautiful in the Summer, I think it would be quite treacherous in the winter time. |

Easterly view from Oquaga Lake Road. It is too bad this photo is as back-lit as it is, the long curve at Deposit is particularly pleasant. |

Westerly view at mile marker 278. This photo was an attempt to show an at-grade intersection along the expressway. Route 17 is a freeway for most of the highway's length with intermittent at-grade sections spread sporadically along the route between Elmira and Monticello. |
