OK, here are some Victorias.  Looks like I even have three Canadian ones to offer to stay in the spirit of the challenge.

Taken on Québec 134 East in Brossard.  June 27, 2011.



Taken on Trans Canada 1 West approaching Regina, Saskatchewan.  June 10, 2001.



Taken on Autoroute 20 West in Québec.  June 30, 2011.

How about outside a route shield? (Taken from Distance Challenge thread.)

Quote from: Jim on August 09, 2016, 07:32:27 PM
Because NJ always wants us to know how far it is to "Del Water Gap".  From US 46.



Also, the challenge did not require the sign to be a road sign.

How about a non-reflective button copy sign with a borderless exit tab.

Two-in-one, nice! :)

That's one of the exits I take to get to my aunt's trailer for summer visits, but I've never taken a photo of the sign.

To make up for May 19th, if nobody minds I'll make the challenge for May 23rd. On the 24th things should hopefully return to normal.

You can't make the Challenge for the 23rd, since it's only the 22nd (unless you're off traveling somewhere to the east). Why not just make the Challenge for the 19th, since it's actually available?

It's after midnight for me so I think this is legal now.  But I'm not sure if this is what you had in mind:

Somewhere south of Oatman AZ:

There isn't a Challenge posted yet for the 23rd–I think he meant to make that the May 19th Challenge. So you can still post a Challenge that makes sense for these photos (or something else), if you'd like.

Eh, let's just roll with it, IMO. :)

Former MN-5 after it was truncated to the intersection behind this photo (MN-120/Century Ave and Stillwater Rd/Blvd)



And for something slightly different, an old alignment of Delaware Ave in Des Moines

I think this calls for the sign in my collection with an "OLD" tag above it.
