I'm planning on sticking to the three count unless we get to 66.  Then things might get a little nuts between my own sign stock and field photos...just sayin.

I thought we were limited to just posting 3 pictures at a time**.  That's why I've only been posting 3 for each number.  Is this correct?

That's what I put in the rules. I don't have any enforcement power, though. Just be respectful of your fellow posters and don't dump dozens of photos into a single post. Let the thread breathe. :)

I have lots of 8's :)

Just to let you know (not being a jerk or anything), but you can only post different 8's (different provinces, states, or counties). You posted two ON 8 photos and two of the same county hwy 8's. You can only post one of each. Thus, there are only three eligible ones there. (ON 8, and the two different county shields from different areas).



Here's my pretty terrible pictures:

Oops, I missed that rule. I'll make sure not to do it again.

I'll start off the 9's with Waterloo RR 9 at RR 12 in St. Agatha, ON

I offer a side challenge here on "9" day.  Can we get all of New York's 9X routes represented?  Here's a start.

Keeseville, September 13, 2008.

If I read rule #6 correctly, all numbers prior to 9 are still in play so I can post this photo right?



Call me a "late-comer".  :D

P.S. I think I have a photo of a CA-9 exit sign on my home computer.  If I find it tonight, I will post it here.

Here's some help with the suffixed 9's subchallenge:


9A, taken 5/6/2006


9G, taken 9/11/2011


9H, taken 5/27/2011

I could definitely provide 9D and 9W as well but there's a limit of 3 pictures per post. Not sure if I have photos of 9B or 9P.
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

I've also got NY 9A and NY 9G pictures on my site, but I'll refrain from posting them here since Anthony already covered those.

You can post them. They are separate routes.

Lastly, a New Jersey "1 and 9"...does it count?

My only 9 is this ugly attempt at a California shield I found in an antique store. I'm pretty sure it is an interstate shield with the top cut off.

Your image isn't working.  I can't get the URL to pull up either....sure would like to see this mutant CA 9.
