Today, that would be done in reverse. They'd be taking the signs off the bridge and mounting them on a gantry.

This is in Pitt County in the 1960s.  All NC secondary routes were signed this way from 1959 until 1970?  I never saw this style marker that I recall in the mid 70s in eastern NC.

The 22 does designate Pitt County.  Pitt is not 22nd alphabetically from A or in reverse from Z.  However, it appears this number is obtained this way:  Take each NCDOT Division and list the counties in that division alphabetically.  If you list all of Division 1 A-Z, then Division 2 A-Z etc., Pitt is 22nd in this list.

Your rules, but IMO that makes the game harder for people who want to participate but aren't already in the game. (Compare with my Take-It-Yourself challenge, in which numbers never close.)

But I also don't want to exclude people from posting to Challenges they may have missed. I can think of a couple ways to possibly help this:
—Do an occasional (weekly?) catch-up day. Say, perhaps on Sundays, we open it up to all Challenges from the previous week?
—Or, allow members to post for previous Challenges as a "bonus" photo, provided they also submit for the current day's Challenge?

What do you all think?

Challenge: Post signs featuring the names of famous people on them.

Rules:
—Official road/highway signs only.
—Must include at least first and last name.
—Exclude signs giving only commemorative or ceremonial highway names.
—Exclude persons already honored on official currency or with a national holiday.

Famous is relative too... For someone who isnt familiar with sports some of the players would mean nothing to them

I didn't write the above-criteria & the OP didn't imply such a restriction; so using a facility/roadway (like the Ted Williams Tunnel) named after a (Boston) sports figure is 100% fair game.

I looked through my sign pictures and didn't find any that clearly showed a sub-$2 price. I have one from several weeks ago that may be that low but the price is too obscured to tell. I have one from my trip to Texas around New Years but the price was $2.0x.

Is "FUTURE" all that common? Usually those words are contained inside the shield, right?

What's wrong with this one. It indicates a wrong-way concurrency between US 49 and US 63. A little context would be helpful.

Yeah, Kentucky and Louisiana are just out of the realm of possibility XD.  Thinking about trying Ohio, which is insane enough.

Quote from: formulanone on February 24, 2017, 09:11:43 AM
Florida is one I'm trying for (I'd estimate I'm a little over halfway there on SR/SSRs); probably not as mind-bending as Kentucky, or Texas,  Louisiana, but not as arduous as California or Montana. At least with Ohio, it's a compact enough state, even if it has 500 or so SRs.
