The 1-2-3 Interstate Highway Shield Challenge

[Jim]

We have 6 signed I-195 routes to cover.  Here's Florida's, as it crosses over into Miami Beach.  July 13, 2013.

I'm finally now able to post this

I was going to hold off on more 195's., but it's been 20 hours so here's another.  I did the southernmost I-195 so I'll add the northernmost.

From US 1 in Saco, Maine.  May 28, 2010.

Going to MD for the next I-195:

Four down, two to go!

Here's Virginia's I-195.  From I-95.  June 20, 2008.



Only New Jersey remains.

What was the weather like when this one was taken? Looks like a hell of a breeze in those palms at that moment.

Just a typical summer day.  No significant weather in the area.

I-195 in NJ

YES!  We can finally move forward with the numbers, and this closes out the 100's:

Interstates numbered 205 are up to bat.

California's 205, from the shield gallery, by Mark Galbreath:


There is another 205, in Oregon/Washington.

[Jim]

Here's the Washington/Oregon I-205.  From I-84.  July 16, 2004.



I believe we are on to I-210 next.

A pretty ugly 210 shield from Lake Charles, LA. But it has the state name!

The BGS alternatives in this area have Clearview digits...

Going back to SoCal for the other existing I-210:

Now we're looking for three I-215's!

[paulthemapguy]

One of 3* I-215's.  This is the NV one.

Three, I believe, for I-215.  Here's Utah's.  Taken on I-80, October 1, 2015. 



I also have California's if we get into a jam.

That interchange is now undergoing a major construction project, and I believe that ramp to 215 is now closed. All the signs in that area have been replaced, with signs that have state named Interstate shields.
The only sad part is, the last two button copy signs on I-80 in Utah are now gone. They were on I-80 west just before the I-215 exit.

Also, that’s not I-80, that’s the Foothill Drive ramp to the 215/80 interchange.

[Henry]

This is the last I-215 to be covered, and my second consecutive SoCal post:

Next up: the I-220s!

[formulanone]

Here's I-220 in Shreveport, Louisiana:

The only other existing I-220, in Jackson, MS:

Now we're up to I-225!

[JJBers]

Found this from CODOT, I-225:

I have Missouri's I-229, but not South Dakota's.

Trivia: communications satellites usually have 2 of "everything" so that we can remotely switch from failed components to backups. The pair of comms decoders were, of course, the North and South Decoder.

One of three I-235's, starting with Iowa's at its eastern end.

Here's Oklahoma's I-235.  March 13, 2011.
