While moose are most associated with Maine, New Hampshire (which is where this photo is from) seems to be at least somewhat associated.

Moose crossing sign on I-89 in New Hampshire by A friendly moose, on Flickr

If it's too blurry to read, it says "next 6 miles".

The stereotype of always being under construction, I suppose. Although, that stereotype fits a number of states, if not all of them. :)

In Illinois, finding a 4-way intersection with fewer than 10 signal heads is actually very difficult.

Here's a weird one.  Try and find all 10

I feel like people are just looking at my flickr account to decide what the next challenge should be.  This challenge was posted RIGHT AFTER I uploaded photos of a runaway truck ramp.  It keeps happening that someone posts a challenge just in time for me to acquire a photo that's perfect for it.  I'm probably just lucky.

This truck ramp is along I-5 northbound just after you cross into OR from CA.

Quote10/17/17 --- take a picture of a sign with a city/road that is boring.

I can't say for sure that it's boring, having spent only the 10 seconds there that it took to drive through, but Last Chance, Colorado, seemed pretty boring.  You can see a significant fraction of the buildings there in the background of this picture.  Wikipedia lists its population as 23.  And it's not close to anything else.  November 16, 2013.

October 18: Post an exit direction sign (that is, the last sign before a freeway exit) that uses an arrow other than a typical diagonal arrow or a down arrow. So fair game are loop arrows, the weird NJ Turnpike arrows, right arrows, et al.
