wish I could post my US-40 shield from Arizona but alas there is no context for it



I do like this indicator, and therefore mandate that it be used from now on.  No point in getting hosed due to firewalls

Thank you, Kentucky parkway signs!

hmm, I can't tell where that is.  Could be NH, could be Maine.  Could be VT, even, on a 1960s sign.  Likely not Montana, since I do believe they put the state name on all their shields, but maybe they tossed a few neutered ones up here and there.

(when I put in the rules that it's gotta be obvious where that is, I didn't mean "obvious to anyone with a thorough knowledge of Maine's state highway system"!   )

43 remains open.

fair enough!  How about a different picture of the same US 2/ME 4/ME 43 multiplex near Farmington, ME?

Even you bent that rule yourself earlier...

on which one?  19? everyone knows where St. Petersburg and the Skyway are; not everyone knows where US-2 intersects a square 4 and a square 43.  

anyone got a picture of a classic cross-hatched Maine 43 shield in the wild?  The only photo I've got is in someone's collection, unfortunately.

Hoosier daddy?

4 numbers left, but 5 states?  Did a duplicate sneak through?

[corco]

RI was technically done at 44, but the mandatory indicator wasn't used and the photo was possibly not from the wild

So remaining is : DE GA NV NH

[agentsteel53]

the 44 is from the wild.  I am surprised I don't have the previous frame from that film up on the shield gallery (very surprised, seeing as I digitized the film myself!) - that one shows some of the road being lit up by headlights.

where the Hell did I put that photo of a DEL 48 cutout!?

all I can find on AARoads are context-free boring circles. 

[froggie]

Likewise, hopefully someone has a NH 49 photo...

[agentsteel53]

I know for a fact that I've seen a cutout DEL 48 shield somewhere.

Nevada 49 did exist, but a photo of a shield may be a tough find, but US-50 is trivial.

[froggie]

Doesn't matter.  Nevada will have to be 50, since a 50 doesn't exist in New Hampshire...

[Ian]

Apperently I do have an NH 49 photo, but 48 has to go first.

I know for a fact that I've seen a cutout DEL 48 shield somewhere.

Are you thinking of the DEL 4 shield in Wilmington? I don't think a DEL 48 shield survives  .

[agentsteel53]

Are you thinking of the DEL 4 shield in Wilmington? I don't think a DEL 48 shield survives  .

the photo I'm thinking of is from the 70s or so.  Black and white.

Oh, I didn't realize. My mistake.

[agentsteel53]

Oh, I didn't realize. My mistake.

I should be able to find it at home.  For now here's a nice 50.  We can start round 2 once I find that Del 48 shield - unless someone can find us a 48 that has enough context to identify it as a Delaware.
