I need to update the tracking list. I was on holiday with family this past week. I'll do it sometime this weekend.

Wisconsin Rustic Road has been posted, but not this

You could tell I was more interested in the WI-31 sign when I took this picture though ^_^

New Mexico is home to more than two dozen Scenic Byways –
https://www.newmexico.org/scenic-byways/ – including the Sunspot Scenic Byway which connects Cloudcroft with the Sunspot Solar Observatory.



As is typical in New Mexico, there's not of lot of consistency in the signage. However, these appear a few times along NM 6563.

Another two-for-one -- the original Pennyrile Parkway sign and the second-generation Western Kentucky Parkway sign.

A reminder that I haven't forgotten about this thread. I had a medical emergency that kept me off the forum for two weeks. I will update the list soon.

Here's another "two-fer" from Kentucky, sorta.

I have always known the freeway that runs from Elizabethtown to Versailles as the Bluegrass (or Blue Grass) Parkway. But I was told that when the former toll road first opened, it was known as the Kentucky Bluegrass Parkway. This sign has been gone for several years, but it was located on US 421 (Leestown Road) at KY 4 (New Circle Road) in Lexington. It appears that it once read KB Parkway but was changed to read BG Parkway.

I was starting to think I'd not get a turn again.

I was surprised that we haven't visited the Blue Ridge Parkway. Apologies if it has been posted but my quick scan back through the thread missed it.

Here's a California Trail Auto Tour route shield, taken by Wikipedia user Famartin.

Also, the 49 Mile Scenic Drive in San Francisco.

Hardy Toll Road shield in suburban Houston (Humble, TX). Also interesting to note is the business FM route. Only a few in Texas.

The new Great Lakes Seaway Trail shield was introduced a few years ago. R7 aggressively replaced virtually all of them last fall. Very few of the old ones remain, sadly.

R5 replaced most of theirs within the past 2-3 years as well. Few, if any, of the old ones remain.

I don't know what region it is, but I drove the Lake Ontario State Parkway and NY 18 from Greece to Olcott, and the parkway has all the new design, NY 18 is about 50/50.
