New significant updates since my last post:

• Added a gallery page for the Sky Island Scenic Byway and added an image of it to the Arizona Scenic Roads page.
• Added a new image to the Goofs & Fails Map
• Added a new page for the defunct, proposed State Route 110

[AzNate]

Whoops, power went out today right after I left for a SE Arizona trip, so the website will be down until Saturday afternoon probably since I can't do anything about it until I get back. After that's fixed, expect a bunch of new pictures of southeastern Arizona highways.

[AzNate]

The website is back online, along with the southeastern AZ road trip additions + some other updates to the website tonight:

• Added pictures of Interstate 19, State Route 80, SR 82, SR 83, SR 87, SR 90, SR 92, SR 387, and US 191 Business (and of course gallery pages for 80, 82, 83, 90, and 92)
• Made a bunch of new additions to the Goofs & Fails Map
• Added a picture of the Arizona Welcome Signs on SR 80 coming from New Mexico and Mexico (kind of)
• Added a picture for the Patagonia-Sonoita Scenic Highway on the scenic roads page
• Updated info about SR 187 being the shortest state highway in AZ since SR 24 was extended to 6 miles
• Added a picture of Douglas traffic signals to the Arizona Traffic Signals page
• Added collapsible sections for each year on the What's New page

I'm a big fan of the map format for the goofs/fails page, and I'm really enjoying your work. Is there any way to make the map not zoom in when you click on one of the points, though?

[AzNate]

No, there isn't a way to toggle the zoom-in for the map points. I tested adding that with the idea that it would make it easier to see the exact location of the point, but I think it makes the experience more annoying than I intended. I've been thinking about removing the auto zoom-in for a bit and I'll probably go ahead with that now, thanks for the feedback!

Many new website updates since March 19th:

• Added information about former SR 76 thanks to 707's thread on the route here.
• Added/updated information about SR 288, SR 50, SR 63, SR 89L, SR 93 & 93A, SR 110, SR 117 & 417, SR 216, 217, 218, & 220, SR 517, added new pages for SR 489, SR 589, SR 810, SR 910, SR 982, SR 983, and the proposed Sonoran Corridor.
• Added pictures to Button Copy Signage, Goofs & Fails, and Broadway Curve Project pages.
• Implemented OpenStreetMap Americana theme for the Goofs & Fails map that I found in this forum thread. I would like to know what people think of this change over the original map and whether it should stay or not.
• Added pictures of I-19, SR 84, and SR 387.
• Updated route shield images for some highways.

Nice that AZ recognizes former US 80.

There was one US 80 Historic shield on US 60 west of Florence Junction that I observed yesterday.  This was the one on eastbound US 60 approaching Florence Junction:

I do remember US 66 shields in 2000 in many cities it served. However, am glad US 80 isn’t forgotten nor is parts of US 99 in CA as some brown historic shields in the Imperial Valley where it once ran.

[Max Rockatansky]

There is a fair assortment of Historic US 89A along AZ 89A.

Interesting that there's a Historic US 80 sign, but not one for US 89.  There's also a sign for Historic US 60/70/80/89 in front of the decayed shell of the old Buckhorn Baths complex at Main St. and Recker Rd. in Mesa.

I just discovered your site. I noticed the overhead signs on I-19 and I-10 were replaced as well; it's been within the past six weeks. There's a few other new panels along I-19 south of Green Valley, replacing the button copy signs with new versions and maintaining the metric units. I think the advance southbound panel for Tumacacori-Carmen is one of the new panels I noticed yesterday.

Sad to see old button copy signs get replaced, but it's nice that they're keeping metric.

Speaking of former US 80, coincidentally I drove down a bit of it on Saturday to the Gillespie Dam Bridge and got some pictures that are now up on my website.

Also, I got some more Broadway Curve pictures, 2 new Goofs & Fails pictures, and I updated some inaccurate SR 76 info today.
