I feel bad I forgot to include NASA 1 in Texas.  But, yes, on to 2.  Let's see what I have.

Near Dawson Creek, BC, June 11, 2001.



Long-since replaced in Troy, NY.  December 26, 2002.



Klondike Highway, crossing from Yukon into BC southbound.  June 23, 2001.

Crap, this means I'll have to watch this thread every single day.   :paranoid:  but I always forget things!!

The game is retroactive. All numbers stay in play.

I drove to Woodstock, ON yesterday just to get this picture. Luckily I did! :-D

Waterloo Region doesn't have a RR 2, so I got this picture of Oxford CR 2.

Back to Alaska for the northernmost 2 in North America, at the south end of the Dalton Highway: 



Then south for another 2, an old-style marker for PR 2 (2002 photo):



Finally, from St. John's, Newfoundland an old-style NL 2 marker (2003 photo):

I have a lot of threes apparently!  I still have signs from IL, NY, MT, MO, and IN to post.  All three of these above are from the same trip in October 2015.
Avatar is the last interesting highway I clinched.

Figure we're close enough to the 9 AM hour to kick off the 4s:

First something weird....a US 4 from New Hampshire recycled out of a stop sign from my stash:



And my I-4 sign which will be the first Interstate posted:


oscar

Back to Puerto Rico, with one photo showing both modern primary (white on blue) and secondary (black on white) markers for different segments of PR 3:



And to Alaska for another 3, rhis one in Fairbanks, wirh an unusual "end" banner (apparent Arctic custom is to use them only where they are completely unnecessary, like here):



Finally, to the Northwest Territories, with a photo showing both a white pentagon marker for NT 3, and a standard blue bear marker for NT 4. (Since that July 2012 photo, NT 4 has been realigned and now connects to NT 3 at another intersection,)

It seems my 4's are numerous but not all that interesting.  So here's one with both a US 4 and 2 VT 4A's.



(Point for clarification: since I think the 3's started only at 10:47 PM EDT Saturday, shouldn't the 4's have waited until Sunday at that time or later?)

OP added a rule that every 24 hours the next number would be open.  So basically 9 AM eastern time everyday or 12 hours from last numbered post.
