The challenge: See how many named routes with unique shields we can collect in one thread.

The routes already posted are listed here (http://bienv.com/unique-signs). Please check this list as well as the last page before posting.

Rules:

1. An eligible picture is a picture of a unique route shield. The shield can be stand-alone, mounted onto a BGS or unisign, or incorporated into some other sort of guide signage (e.g. mile marker, street blade).

2. One picture per person per post.

3. When you post a valid sign, you must wait at least 5 numbers before you can post another valid exit sign, unless I grant you an override.

4. Google Street View is NOT allowed. Actual signs must be posted (not images representing the signs.)

5. Pictures taken by someone other than yourself must be credited.

6. All-text signs require a ruling. The sign must have an image or styling that makes it unique. However, turnpike and parkway systems (e.g. Kentucky) are exempted.

7. Shields designating historic or scenic routes are acceptable.

8. Shields that are sometimes varied by adding a number (e.g. Trans-Canada Highway) may be used only once.

9. Shields that vary only by font or color differences count as duplicates.

10. Shields that use a unique image inside a standard shield (e.g. BC-3) are acceptable.

11. Shields that use the same image across multiple jurisdictions count only if there is a significant difference between the two signs. (For example, circle tours for separate lakes are duplicates if they use the same styling.) Application of this rule will require a ruling from me.

12. Variations of standard state route shields are acceptable only if they apply for a specific named route (e.g. Ohio Turnpike).

13. Error shields of any form, including standard route markers (e.g. circles, US shields) or state outlines for numbered routes (e.g. Iowa, Indiana), do not count.

14. This list of rules is subject to addition to cover conditions that I haven't thought of at this point.

I assume by "unique", you mean "only one of the sign exists".

IA 92 (Iowa normally uses circles), from alpsroads.net

- Are multiple shield types allowed in the same photo, or just one visible route shield per photo?
- What about unnumbered routes with their own shield?

Not what I had in mind. Added these two rules.

The spirit of this game is about unnumbered routes with their own shield. That includes named routes that overlap numbered routes, and includes scenic, historic and ceremonial routes.

I thought about this right after I posted, because I can think of one instance that has three unique shields on it. The spirit of the game is to let as many people participate as possible. I'm opening the floor for discussion on this. Possible options include:

1. Allow the picture to count for all of the shields posted.
2. Require the person posting to declare which shield he is posting. If he doesn't, the moderator will make the call.
3. Let the picture stand, and let other posters post other pictures of the same shields.
4. Modify the 5-post rule to account for multiples. (If your picture has two unique signs, you have to wait 10 posts, etc.)

I'm pretty sure these are unique. I never thought I'd post this because of how bad it is, but here goes:

By far the worst picture of signs in my possession (the only one I have of road signs in Japan), but all I had was a terrible camera and airport glass was blocking my view.

The pic (if you can even see them) include a Route 1 of the Tokyo road system, called the Shuto Expressway system (foreground), and a Japanese National Highway 357 (background, lower left corner of sign).

As for the rules, I have posted two unique routes. I'll wait for an update before I post again.

OK, I think I've figured out what we're going for here.  My first contribution will be the Lewis and Clark Trail.  This one from near Council Bluffs, Iowa.

I think it should count for just one, and the poster specifies which he/she intends it to count for.

Unlike the number-based threads, it's going to be tricky to keep track of what's been posted and not.  I wonder if someone (not me) will volunteer to keep an alphabetical list of what's been posted to avoid duplicates when we're hundreds of posts in.

Long gone New England Thruway trailblazer that I photographed on 233rd Street in the Bronx back in March 2000. This was the shield for the tolled section of I-95 between the Bronx and the Connecticut Turnpike.

Okay, I get it now - I thought this was about posting one and only one of every possible route sign or shield in the world.

Cecil B. Sawgrass signs for the Sawgrass Expressway / FL 869. There's only one or two signs left, but this trailblazer assembly is long gone.

Are you counting this for the Lincoln Highway (the L logo) or for this particular route. The former is kosher. The latter, I'd need to see this in context (e.g. GSV) to confirm that it is actually a shield.

Whatever works.  It's in a rest area, so I don't even know if it counts, now that the question arose.

I'm thinking it can count for all new shields in the picture, and you're not penalized for any repeat shields that also happen to appear (as long as there's some new content).

Also, how about an option to post a previously-submitted shield, solely for the purpose of improving on a distant or blurry photo?

How about this unusual old shield (probably long gone) for Nova Scotia's Cabot Trail? It reflects that the Trail was and is unsigned trunk route 30, and trunk routes in NS usually are signed with US route-like markers. The Trail is more commonly signed with scenic route markers, which I also photographed.

This isn't in the spirit of the game. Yes, it is unique, but it has no meaning or significance. (For example, the Wis-32 sign posted earlier: The markings have a meaning.) It looks like a design that the state or county might duplicate for similar highways (215 and I-215 is the loop around Las Vegas.)

If you can demonstrate that there is a unique significance or meaning to this design, and it's not just something cute that Clark County put up for kicks, then I will allow it.

Well the previous shield design for Clark County 215 used a "rocky" type yellow diamond (https://www.aaroads.com/west/nevada215/cc-215_shield_01.jpg). Well, just figured it out, its the symbol for Clark County:

I suppose if it were like New York's County outline signs (//www.aaroads.com/shields/show.php?image=NY19620491), it might not qualify, since there is more than one route number using said design, but Clark County 215 is the lone route with this style. You make the rules, so I'll defer to your judgement  :hmmm:

^ The Isle of Man TT is one helluva road course.

South Georgia Parkway is the only way to find pentagon shields in the Peach State. County-maintained roads usually have no shields, other than the occassional green strips posted behind the stop signs (https://www.flickr.com/photos/formulanone/24085826430/in/album-72157646255806895/). The Parkway signs can be found in scattered places along GA Route 520. It seems like a particularly lazy design, because it appears some sort of logo, number, or device is missing from the center.

I'm ruling that it does not count on the assumption that Clark County would choose to sign other routes in this manner and just hasn't done so. But I will give you props for the research.

This might be considered a double-post.  I can't believe the Great River Road hasn't been posted yet!  Also, here's a shield for the Illinois River Road.  These are two scenic byways that basically parallel the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers, respectively.  Photo taken by me, I want to say February 2007.

I'm ruling that it does not count on the assumption that Clark County would choose to sign other routes in this manner and just hasn't done so. But I will give you props for the research.

Alright, so how come that Scenic US 412 marker posted way above count, and not this? And what about that CT 15? Even if those shields are unique to their perspective roads (although I'm sure there are other scenic US route shields similar to the one posted and there *were* other route examples of the CT outline shields that used to exist), you said it yourself about the CR 215, "[They] would choose to sign other routes in this manner and just hasn't done so."

CR 215 is the only road that has shields like this, yet you're disqualifying it because of the very distant fact that Clark County could put up more. It's not my game, but c'mon man...

The photo for Scenic US412 seems to adhere to rule #10 in the OP, if I'm not mistaken.

Also don't make up too many rules or no one will want to contribute, because of the long-adopted Internet rule of "TL;DR."  Half of the rules in my original 1-2-3 game elucidate things people ARE allowed to do.  Too many restrictions and people won't get the message at all:  that's why we make fun of sign salads https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=7573.0

Looks like I'm eligible to post another again already.  This time north to Trois-Rivières, Québec, for Chemin du Roy.

US 412 and CT 15 clearly do not count, but I simply ignored them. I don't have the power to delete posts. Notice that I am not including any numbered route on the tracking list (which I need to update after this post).

The CR 215 sign was unique enough to warrant a discussion.

I'll say this: If I don't add your sign to the list, I'm not counting it.

"Shields that use a unique image inside a standard shield (e.g. BC-3) are acceptable." I don't follow how this applies to the US 412 shield. It looks like a unisign that could have just as easily been done with a banner.

I understand that people don't want to participate in a game with too many rules. I did my best to clarify what I intended. The word "unique" isn't quite succinct enough. I had to make it clear that by "unique" I meant "custom or singular" and not "only one in existence, etc."

What you're going for is not clear to see.  It should not take three pages for someone to figure it out.  While I like these challenges for the intellectual stimulation and to showcase my photo collection, given that this thread is basically a giant mystery for people to figure out by posting something and then getting slammed for breaking the very specific and not at all clear rules, as they say on Shark Tank, I'm out.

I've been thinking of these highways ever since I watched Highway Thru Hell.

Since you didn't specify which you are counting, I'm counting it for all three Crowsnest and TCH. Do you mind waiting 15 10 signs to post again? [Ed: I missed that Yellowhead has already been posted.]

I'm sorry that you feel that I haven't made this game clear. But how exactly am I "slamming" people over the rules? It's unfortunate that some of the first few posters didn't understand what I was seeking. But I think I have been fair in clarifying and guiding since.

If you are willing to reconsider, please take a look at the list of routes that have been posted. I think by now we have a clear pattern of what I am looking for. If you still are unclear on something, feel free to ask.

It took me a little bit to figure it out, but I eventually got the idea. I will say, I'd have thought the Clark County 215 shield would count, but it's not my game. ;-) (Perhaps that rule is best stated as: Shields that represent a system of highways don't count, even if that system currently has only one member [see also DC 295].)

In any event, people are definitely grasping this one better than they are my Municipalities brain-teaser. I'm not sure I've even had a single submission that correctly pertains to the game! :)

In that case my Scenic 412 would be null and void. I'm like, totally confuzzled now.

I fold.

Well regarding Clark County 215 in Nevada, I believe the beltway is a special case route, as the county signs no others and created the designation simply for their portion of the beltway. I think of it more like Charlotte City Route 4 (//www.aaroads.com/shields/show.php?image=NC19950041), which is the lone signed route of that class. Anyway  :spin: moving to:

The original JFK Memorial Highway trailblazer for I-95 in Maryland. You could argue that the shape is a replication of both the original Dallas Fort Worth Turnpike (//www.aaroads.com/shields/show.php?image=TX19530774) and the Richmond Petersburg Turnpike (//www.aaroads.com/shields/show.php?image=VA19540951) trailblazers, but all three had different designs otherwise.

If the road has a named route with a unique shield, but also a "normal shield" (PR, SR, US, INTERSTATE) does that count?

The named route with the unique shield counts. The normal shield does not.

FTR, a named route with a unique modification of a normal shield DOES count (see BC-3, Wis-32).

I'm rather astonished that no one has done any of the Long Island parkways yet.

I'm assuming these wouldn't count because the shields represent a system of roads; they aren't unique (other than the differing text and lettering on each). A similar case would be the NYC/Hudson Valley parkways (the inverse green SR shield with white text).

I think at least five qualifying entries have been submitted since my last, and since Lansing was mentioned in the 1-2-3 Road Sign Challenge thread (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=17783.0), it got me thinking of Lansing's Capitol Loop:

From the rules:

Quote
6. All-text signs require a ruling. The sign must have an image or styling that makes it unique. However, turnpike and parkway systems (e.g. Kentucky) are exempted.

Seems to me that the issue with the Kentucky parkways using the same styling is the same issue with the Long Island parkways. I can reverse this rule if enough people think that it is against the spirit of the game to allow those shields. Or I can continue to allow them in the name of keeping the rules simple.

(For the record, notice I posted the Ohio Turnpike shield, even though it is just the standard Ohio shield with green bordering rather than black.)

A third option is to allow one shield from each system. But if I do that, then I might as well make the challenge to collect distinct shield styles. (Which quite a few people would actually prefer.)

I wasn't sure what you mean by "exempted". So, turnpike and parkway systems are exempted from rule 6, and are thus allowed?

QuoteSeems to me that the issue with the Kentucky parkways using the same styling is the same issue with the Long Island parkways. I can reverse this rule if enough people think that it is against the spirit of the game to allow those shields. Or I can continue to allow them in the name of keeping the rules simple.

I don't think it's against the spirit at all; I think including distinctive styles like the Long Island or Kentucky Parkways is quite appropriate. I just thought that in light of the Clark County decision, systems of highways were excluded from the game. From your citation above, I see that turnpikes and parkways get an automatic pass if they're text-only, but are you saying they also get exempted from the no-systems requirement?

QuoteA third option is to allow one shield from each system. But if I do that, then I might as well make the challenge to collect distinct shield styles. (Which quite a few people would actually prefer.)

I think one example from each system is enough, if they differ in no way other than lettering. And in general, I support allowing any distinctive shield–distinct, that is, from the statewide or nationwide standard that's otherwise in place. So Long Island parkways would be allowed because they're distinct from the general NY state route shield, and Clark County would be allowed because it's distinct from the nationwide county route shield design.

(On a related note, there was an Indian route shield posted above; does that count, or no, since it's the standard shield for that class of route?)

And finally, once you've compiled all the submitted shields, will you have links to all the images so we have a nice distinctive-shield gallery? :-)

This is the 127 Corridor sign that used to be posted quite frequently, but now is only rarely seen, in Kentucky and Tennessee. It predates the conception of the World's Longest Yard Sale.

This assembly no longer stands because the intersection with TN 111 and KY 1076 has been reconstructed.

Also, if you look in the background, you can see TN 111 and TN 42 (its former number) both signed. All TN 42 signage has been removed although the last time I traveled the route, a few mile markers still show 42 instead of 111.

Which I've just now noticed is designed by placing a leaf of NJ's state tree (red oak) over that of NY (sugar maple).

(Although NY's looks more like a red maple...)

New York's now look horrendous with the oversized mixed-case type.  This design was elegant (and still is, in New Jersey).

When NYSDOT replaced the signs along the Arterial in Auburn in the summer of 2013, I went out and took pictures of the old signs before they were removed.  Unfortunately, about 5 minutes after I moved the pictures to my external hard drive, the drive died (Seagate drives used to be good, but now they're crap!).  I was able to undelete some of the pictures from my camera's SD card, and this was one of them.  I took a picture of the instillation date sticker on the back, but that image is corrupt.  I was able to at least see the thumbnail in the EXIF data, and kind of make out the date.  It looks like the installation date was 8/8/1991.

I don't want to share the details, but I am OK.

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'll contribute to this thread's revival with the Mad River Byway in Vermont.  Taken in Irasville, August 16, 2015.

I'll throw in with a layup with CA 70/89 Feather River Highway:

The Park Service can be somewhat prolific with named routes and unique shields.  Case and point the Generals Highway near the Sherman Tree Grove in Sequoia National Park:

Akin to this, I always like how Arizona goes all out promoting it's best highways:

Arkansas has a number of Scenic Byways using the round logo supplementing a route sign.

A guide to the highways and byways we've posted thus far.  Some posts were omitted because some people posted images without description or credit and I can't tell what they are.  This is a type of thread that makes it rather difficult to gauge what has been posted thus far, so I went ahead and did this.  In the process though, I noticed that user @Jim posted this:

Unlike the number-based threads, it's going to be tricky to keep track of what's been posted and not.  I wonder if someone (not me) will volunteer to keep an alphabetical list of what's been posted to avoid duplicates when we're hundreds of posts in.

Whoops!  I accidentally did something that someone dreamt of at the thread's inception, meaning that I wasn't the first to have this idea.  But here ya go.  I used quote format so you can click on the link to see the original post if you want to see it.

I looked at the list and saw that we don't have Crowley's Ridge Parkway yet... So here it is.

We don't have De Anza National Historic Trail either, let me fix that!

Found at the end of CA-25 just off the US-101 interchange. The sign is at the background, I just happened to recognize it. There's certainly many of them, one on US-101 northbound, one mile before the interchange with CA-85 at San Jose, and another before the interchange of CA-85 and I-280.
