Daily Picture Challenge!

January 6th challenge:  Post photos showing two consecutive route numbers (need not be the same route type).

As kind of a side- challenge, I wonder what the highest combination of numbers will be.

Here's Ohio 189 and 190 in Fort Jennings, OH.

January 6th challenge:  Post photos showing two consecutive route numbers (need not be the same route type).

Do suffixes count?



If not:

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.)

Yeah, I'm seeing that. To be honest, that was kind of the point: to keep the game moving with a variety of different content and not get bogged down with a bunch of old Challenges.

That hasn't been a problem in my thread. We're posting "expired" numbers all the time and nobody's complaining.

Maybe in Hawaii? (Photo credit hawaiihighways.com.)



There could be a 3xxx pair in Louisiana, but I doubt it.

What do you all think?

Honestly, I'm all for keeping it current.  Keep Rule #4 as is - One Calendar day max.

I'm in favor of only a short grace period.  If they were my rules to make, I'd do the same over on the take it yourself number thread.

This is my inclination as well; I really think what appeals to me about this thread is the always-new, constantly-changing (but still organized) content. I've been enjoying catching up on the take-it-yourself thread recently, but I do find that skipping back to old numbers sort of interrupts the flow for me.

That hasn't been a problem in my thread. We're posting "expired" numbers all the time and nobody's complaining.

No, I don't think it rises to the level of needing to complain about it. Just different threads, different rules. Besides, it's much more productive just to make a new thread than to complain.

And honestly, I don't think I really thought much about it until the question arose here. I didn't consciously start this thread as a remedy to perceived problems with any other thread, and I don't mean to suggest there's any issue with yours that needs addressing. The freshness of this one is just an aspect I kinda like.

Fairfax County Virginia has the winner...

This one is the highest pair that GMSV has.  There is at least one pair slightly higher than this one:

There could be a 3xxx pair in Louisiana, but I doubt it.

Kentucky may have some 3xxx pairs, but those are the only two high-number pairings that I knew for sure I had photos for.

A picture of my own:



Courtesy to Google Maps Street View, although in this specific example of signage the cardinal directions are completely wrong (as in this picture it is looking down US 41 South and US 76 East, not the other way around):



EDIT: ALL IS GOOD. I HAVE FINALLY FIGURED OUT AND REMEMBERED HOW TO CORRECTLY POST FLICKR PHOTOS AFTER 2 YEARS OF HIATUS FROM THE FORUM.

I don't see a challenge for today, so...

January 7: Post a picture of two or more BGSs mounted to something other than a gantry.

January 7: Post a picture of two or more BGSs mounted to something other than a gantry.

This challenge is pretty easy I think 

A sign that should be replaced due to excessive graffiti that I'm sure affects reflect ability at night.

This one has been replaced with a nearly identical Clearview sign:

Not the best lighting for this one:

These are recent installations; done after a move was started in other states to remove signs from bridges.

January 7: Post a picture of two or more BGSs mounted to something other than a gantry.

The challenge will be to find examples that are not a bridge...

How about mounted to a flat bed truck?

These were hanging out at the intersection of US 29 and VA 6 in Woods Mill in June 2015...

It's not January 7 yet... (at least for anyone participating in this thread)

Unless I just inadvertently time-traveled...I don't think anyone in North America is experiencing the 7th of January yet??

I don't see a challenge for today, so...

January 7: Post a picture of two or more BGSs mounted to something other than a gantry.

Wait, what time zone are you in? "Today", at the time you posted this, would've been January 6th, no? (It only just turned January 7th for me, and I'm in EST.)

Unless I just inadvertently time-traveled...I don't think anyone in North America is experiencing the 7th of January yet??

Yeah, the western time zones of the US can still finish up January 6th; meanwhile, the Eastern hemisphere can get started on January 7th. We can keep the same Challenge that was posted early.
