Like every other guessing challenge, there are rules:
1. You must say which state the route is in.
2. You can not guess again until at least 6 hours have gone by.
3. After 96 hours, you must say the county it's in.
4. If you guess correctly, you get 24 hours to post the route.
5. The person who posted the image must confirm if a guess is right or wrong within 72 hours. After that, a new round may start.
6. Canadian Provinces ARE allowed now, as of 2/3/2023.
I'll start with Virginia:

Correct, you can go.
I don't have any photos to post because Flickr gives identifying information and Google Maps screenshots count against the 1000 photos for a non-Pro account. Someone else can go.

Your link appears to go to Orange County, not the actual spot.
I will keep us moving with this one, in New York. And to make it a little easier, I will give an additional clue: this route number contains only one unique number (up to three digits since we don't have four digit state routes in New York).

NY 444 is correct (https://goo.gl/maps/1xqvCzrFP6SMknb19)! This is looking southbound with a nice view of the Bristol Hills in the background.

Correct! As many guessers figured out, I used an unsigned Florida State Road. In this particular case, I used this section of US-301's unsigned route- FL-200 (which does have signed portions, such as NE of Callahan). Inspiration to use this came from a trip I took to FL last year, where construction contractors had temporary FL-200 shields installed up near I-10.

Besides, last time I went with a suffixed route from NY, we went through pretty much the entire county and alphabet to find it.

Oh what the heck, I'll post one here too! This is in Tennessee:
(https://i.imgur.com/Q9DrBpJ.jpg)
Clue #1: This is ~5 miles from an interstate. If I gave away the county it would reveal the answer. My next clue, if needed, will be the actual intestate.
It appears to be TN-56. (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.028876,-85.7421528,3a,75y,272.21h,82.07t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s8-n1dC-iJN57S2yePAmtdg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192)

Yes it is! This is northbound going over Center Hill Lake (Caney Fork River) in Smith County north of Smithville and ~5 miles south of I-40. Near here is the Joe L. Evins Appalachian Center for Craft, which is a satellite campus of Tennessee Tech University (which if I had not been such a slacker in my youth I would be a TTU alumnus).
This bridge is one of (I think) two deck truss bridges in the state of Tennessee built in the 60's. After the Minneapolis I-35W bridge collapse, TDOT identified this bridge and one on I-40 over Douglas Lake (French Broad River) as having the same inherent defects, and made plans to rehabilitate both bridges and correct the defects. Ever since the April 1, 1989 US 51 Hatchie River Bridge collapse, TDOT made it a long term mission to rehabilitate and/or replace all structurally deficient bridges, and now has some of the best bridges in the country, despite current pavement conditions in some high profile locations.
Anyway, cockroachking now has control.

The bridge in the picture carries a segment of the Empire State Trail.

When I used to drive for a dispatch trucking company out of Cincinnati, I had four or five deliveries in the Madison area--one of them at the Clifty Creek Power Plant. Anyway, I remembered that area looked familiar, mainly because of the divided highway that used to be just US 421 until IN 56 was rerouted out of the downtown Madison area a few years ago. I checked on GSV and found I was correct.

I originally was looking at the area along NY 16 around Franklinville and Machias. When the Orleans County clue came up, I was looking for a crossroad along any state highway in the county starting with NY 245 then with NY 247. I just happened to check the one by French Cemetery and, there it was.

I only recently learned that that road connecting US Route 97 to Old Highway 97 in Mallot was an official state highway. Don't know why, considering it doesn't even have highway speeds. 25 MPH. Obviously, we have highways like US Route 97 that go through places Madras, Oregon, where the speed is 25—35 MPH, but that's only a portion of the highway, not the entire highway. LOL

I literally have no idea on anything besides in my home state and some in Oregon, Idaho, and Montana, and one state route in California. I'm not counting when we went to Utah, as within Utah, it was all interstates. But I guess I have a 0.01% chance of being correct, right?

I kept looking at NY 73 or NY 28N at first, then sort of happened upon this spot once I noticed the center-line rumble strips that I saw on another section of NY 74 closer to US 9 and I-87. Just had to go to the other end of this section closer to NY 9N/22.

NY 28N (https://maps.app.goo.gl/PvPCnPnH4yVGPiXLA) near one of the best roadside vistas in the Adirondacks. Just down the road at Newcomb Overlook, there's a
diagrammatic (https://maps.app.goo.gl/VXKKdaFvCtTX9YF38) that shows the various high peaks that are visible, including Mount Marcy, NY's highest point.
Of course, US 9 represents 9 state routes in Essex County, and north is represented by the N suffix (so NY 9N was the other answer that fit both clues).

Not NY 22. You've got the county, but not the other clue. Just take it literally.
What? There was no other clue for North. Maybe you typed it but forgot to post it?

I'm going to wait to reveal the county as that will make it too easy, but this is north of the previous two guesses.
First, the bolded word above is significant.
Ah, so when you said to take it literally, you in fact wanted us to also take it figuratively?
Terrible clue.
(JK it was just unnecessary with the county reveal :bigass:)
Yeah, I couldn't think of a better word. I was trying to make it easy to speed things along and most likely ended up overcomplicating it.
In other news, my first clue wasn't even accurate because I forgot about NY 185. There are actually 10 state routes in Essex County (NY 3, 9N, 22, 28N, 73, 74, 86, 185, 373, and 431). Fortunately that didn't seem to hinder you all from figuring out the county (not that US 10 exists in NY, anyways :-D)
The new route to guess is in WISCONSIN. What state route number did I erase off of this sign?
