October 18: Post an exit direction sign (that is, the last sign before a freeway exit) that uses an arrow other than a typical diagonal arrow or a down arrow. So fair game are loop arrows, the weird NJ Turnpike arrows, right arrows, et al.

October 19, 2017: Non-standard road signs that tell you to do something (or not to do something) that applies regardless of the existence of the sign.

Obey Pedestrian Crosswalk Law by Lexington Minuteman, on Flickr

"Obey Pedestrian Crosswalk Law". You need to obey it even if there is no sign here.

I feel like the "nonstandard" part might need clarification–there's plenty of regulatory signs that do that, like "Keep Right Except to Pass", "Buckle Up", etc. that always apply by statute whether signed or not...

For example, this specific sign doesn't appear in any MUTCD or ODOT standard book (i.e. it's a designable sign), and it uses negative-contrast all-caps Clearview (which has never been standard), but it's black and white, so...standard enough, maybe?

It counts. By "nonstandard", I'm excluding signs like "no left turn" or "one way" onto a divided highway.

It would also to apply to many non-road signs, such as "No Trespassing" or "Unauthorized Persons Prohibited".

Maybe this is semantics, but...  I thought trespassing on a person's property was legal unless they had signs or a fence.  This, it was my understanding, is why a lot of farm owners post signs on their property to keep hunters off their land:  without the signs, it would be legal for them to be there.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If it's legal, it ain't trespassing.

Oregon I-5 by Paul Drives, on Flickr

It took me until my 6th trip to California to cross a border into or out of the state.  My first 5 trips were flights to a California airport, and then staying within the state boundaries for the entire trip.  This was taken October 3, 2017.

I singed up for Imgur just to post this picture.  Photostream no longer lets me share pictures without paying.  I haven't used the email account associated with my Flickr account in so long that it sent a verification code to a different account; I haven't used that one in so long that it sent a verification code to an account I haven't used in at least 12 years.

October 21st, 2017: Post a photo of the highest exit number in your collection.

For me, it's definitely exit 825 on the 401 in Ontario. It's easy to forget how long of a drive it is to Quebec.

My answer to this is definitely the MN-61 exit at the northern terminus of I-35.

328 seems to be the highest I can find.

I would have uploaded US 13 off I-276 but it's on my other computer and I'm too lazy.

Instead I'll use this:

I-35 northbound in Texas. I should really take more road pictures. Especially as many times as I drove through east Texas passing exit 635 on I-20.
