You can put Hawaii 99 in a separate post now that someone else has posted.

I know, but I've imposed an extra rule for myself in this thread.  Just the initial three for each number and then I'm done until we advance.  Makes me think a bit about which three to use.

I'm following the same rule, but I posted only two 99s, so I have room for one more. to cover HI 99.

Interstate H-1 westbound. approaching the exit to HI 99, taken 1/20/2009 (on a trip specifically intended to get me the heck out of D.C. on a what turned out to be the most crowded Inauguration Day ever):
