How about a province-state route?

QC 243 (I think near Mansonville)


VT 243 near North Troy


And how about a province-province route?

ON 148 in Pembroke


QC 148 at the Ontario-Quebec border

Pennsylvania/Maryland Route 272:

[MNHighwayMan]

May 25, 2017: Post a picture with two or more route numbers, then another picture that features a route that is the sum of those two (or more) numbers.

For example, here I have IA-1 and IA-2



Then here, I have IA-3



Now because I have another route (IA-7) in that picture, I can sum those too, for US-10

[...]

And the next submitter should try to sum those two routes, or start over?

[MNHighwayMan]

Yeah. Come up with their own combination of routes. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I was just using my submission as an example of what I meant with the challenge, not as the start of some chain.

[paulthemapguy]

Does each person post one picture?  Or do we each try to get the largest chain?  I've strung together a chain of 7 photos using what's in my Illinois collection 

[MNHighwayMan]

I meant that every person picks up to three pictures, not based upon any previous submitter, that follow the formula that I used. I didn't realize that I worded it so badly...
