In the same vein as above, this ramp from US 41 in Benton Co., IN, was closed in August, and I'm 95% sure it's open now...


Can I also just say that I am so happy this thread has been revived. It's my favorite one on this site.

Wait...  if we're commemorating Prohibition, shouldn't this challenge be reversed (i.e. post road signs showing something allowed when the photo was taken but isn't allowed now)?

Anyway, my offering:  I haven't been out west since I took this photo, but I assume that with the Hoover Dam bridge there no longer is a vehicle restriction on US-93.

How do you take a picture of a regulatory sign that is no longer there?

Old photos you took years ago, before the change.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Hawaii does a lot of that, since so many of its routes (but not this one) change directions as they curve around volcanoes.

Pretty much any Illinois county highway marker will suffice for this challenge...

Mine is from 2017. The bypass was finished, but not all the signs were corrected.
