Most of the challenges are "signs containing X" challenges. Here's one that's not.

QuoteJuly 5, 2017: You can see the road you're on for more than 1 mile ahead.



(This is the same photo as the one in the thread where I asked where a particular photo was taken.)
Clinched, plus NH 38, MA 286, and MA 193

Traveled, plus
US 13, 44, 50
Many state routes

Lowest untraveled: 25

New: MA 193 clinched and a tiny bit of CT 193 traveled

My computer is currently under repair. This means I can't update Travel Mapping and have limited ability for the image threads.

A cool straight-away in a forest along Highway 24 south of Brantford, ON (most of the scenery along this highway is farm fields)


A typical flat straight-away on TCH 16 in eastern Saskatchewan (makes it easy to pass!)


Same road, but in Manitoba

There aren't many of these along the coast. Usually it takes being on a tall bridge.

Like any of the ones over the Mississippi River:

This is only a rare thing in the eastern half of the US. In the west and midwest, this is probably pretty common.

I-40 westbound somewhere just west of Santa Rosa, NM.



Ivanpah Road going southbound through the Mojave Desert in rural San Bernardino County, CA.

You almost read my mind. I was going to make a challenge "Post the ugliest construction sign from your collection."

Even the construction signage uses Clearview???

Yes. Even after construction, it was posted as US 93 for a while.
