Hopefully this is close enough. Taken on I-80 EB in Vallejo:

I'm gonna dust off this thread so I can post a picture of roads with a rainbow in the background.  I'm interested to see if other people have road photos with rainbows in the background.  Post yours up too!

(I don't anticipate that people will complain too much at this point if more than 24 hours go by before someone replies to this, since this thread is basically dead.  Maybe we can expand this thread to a weekly photo challenge instead?)

I know it's a day later, but this seems appropriate for an ongoing challenge until we get them all.

New Mexico's longest is US 85, but that's entirely concurrent with I-10 and I-25 and not signed in the state.  Of the ones that are signed, US 70 is the winner at over 450 miles.

Taken from I-25 (and hidden US 85), November 8, 2003.

I missed the revival of this thread while I was out in Las Vegas, so this is late. But this is my favorite road/rainbow photo, of the Rex Bridge on Alaska's Parks Highway. The rainbow was disappearing as I was setting up my tripod, so I was lucky to get the glimpse I did.

One of the many photos I have of US-63, as it's the longest in Arkansas at about 391 miles or so.

I take pictures of road signs, that's about it.

General rule of thumb: Just stay in the "Traffic Control" section of the forum and you'll be fine.

I can get us two more:

Oklahoma's longest is 64, not 412.

The last two I have are US 20 in New York..:



..and US 62 in Ohio:



both conveniently exiting with State Route 7.

By my count, we're missing:

Nevada
Wyoming
North Dakota
South Dakota
Texas
Nebraska
Mississippi
Michigan
Arkansas (both pictures posted weren't the longest, which is US 62)
West Virginia
Maryland
Delaware
Connecticut
Rhode Island
New Hampshire

Here's US 18 in South Dakota, which looks to beat out US 14 by about 10 miles.  This is (obviously) along its concurrency with I-29.  July 19, 2003.



And US 52 in North Dakota, which narrowly beats out US 2.  And this is (obviously) along its concurrency with I-94.  July 13, 2003.

I'm guessing US 1 is the longest US Route in Connecticut, so here's one near Stony Creek:


At 299 miles, US 61 is the longest in Mississippi:
