Suggestion for a challenge: Yesterday was Elvis Presley's birthday. In honor of that, post signs featuring the names of famous people.

I've been off-line this entire weekend; so I'm playing a little bit of catch-up here (I hope no one minds).

January 7: Post a picture of two or more BGSs mounted to something other than a gantry.

Since signposts aren't gantries; how about 2 BGS' sharing the same signposts?  I'm suprised that nobody picked up on this.

January 8 challenge: 'BEGIN' route markers

I-40 westbound entering Albuquerque. It's subtle, but that I-40 shield should be a Business Loop I-40 shield.



And a Clark County CR 215 shield posted on I-215 westbound near Las Vegas. CR 215 doesn't begin until after I-15, several miles west of here.

Massachusetts does this a lot, using circle shields instead of square shields. This is on MA 32 in Palmer.

Texas State Route shield for a Mexico shield


Montana Primary shield for a Montana Secondary shield

All righty then:

Rules:
—Official road/highway signs only.
—Must include at least first and last name.

Famous is relative too... For someone who isnt familiar with sports some of the players would mean nothing to them

I didn't write the above-criteria & the OP didn't imply such a restriction; so using a facility/roadway (like the Ted Williams Tunnel) named after a (Boston) sports figure is 100% fair game.

I would like to exclude politicians who had stuff named after themselves. Like Robert Byrd from West Virginia

I'm not going to bother posting all the Kentucky parkway signs after politicians' names were officially added to them.

And the original criteria was obviously meant to exclude an overload of MLK Jr. postings.

But how about this?

That's basically the idea behind excluding purely ceremonial and commemorative names.
