Here's a new challenge game that I thought of. Let's see how far we can go with it. Due to the nature of the game, photos from Alaska and Hawaii will have to be omitted, but that's OK.
The general premise is that a photo of a state route marker will be posted. The next poster will then post a photo of a state route marker of the next highest number from a state adjoining the location of the previous post. You should identify the state, since someone who posts a photo from Tennessee could be followed up by someone playing a circular route marker from either of two neighbors (Kentucky or Mississippi).
Photos must be from your personal collection. No Google Street View, DOT photologs, etc. The exception is that if we get stuck for 24 hours, you may post a photo from another roadgeek's website, Facebook page, Flickr collection, and so on.
Preference is for ground-mounted markers. BGS route markers are discouraged but allowable in dire circumstances.
I'll start with KY 1.

Next poster must play a State Route 2 sign from either Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois or Indiana.
Have fun. Let's see how far we can get with this and how many states we can get in play; I'm thinking somewhere well into the triple digits until we run out of options.
I like this idea! Let's jump first toward the east to West Virginia, with a 2:

I wanted to alert everyone of an imminent trap here...do NOT take us north or we'll be surrounded by states that US6 passes through, meaning they won't have any state route 6's to speak of. Unless we go up to PA and back to MD for MD-6.

This would be a good chance for North Carolina to become part of this challenge.
The problem I can see with this is that large numbers of users are going to be sitting out hoping the game gets anywhere close to them. I've been to Virginia and the surrounding states exactly once, so I'm just going to have to sit here and hope that it drifts toward OK/KS/MO where all of my photos were taken.

I know of an 18 in Indiana and Missouri.
For future planning:
The only numbers available for Maine are 10 (already passed), 17 (already passed), 27, 32, 86, 102, 103, 105, 107-129 (large range), 131, 136, 141, 150, 151, 152, and 154.
EDIT: Why was a WI 58 sign here for a minute or two?
Idea for a rule, to help get more states involved: Someone can override the last-played number with a number from a state that hasn't been played yet. (Rule does not apply if the number that would be overriden is itself the first of its state.)
Idea for a rule to put Hawaii in play: For the purposes of this game, Hawaii is considered to be adjacent to California, Oregon and Washington.
Should we even bother with Alaska? The last number it has left is 98.

How is a state highway impossible to get to?
There is no CT-50, CT-76, MA-50, or MA-76. Hence, we cannot get to RI-51 or RI-77 in this game.

While y'all are up in that area, beware the upcoming US 44. Using CT 43, for instance, would result in a dead end.

We should be able to get to Illinois in seven moves easily enough, opening up the Midwest. Most of these intersect Interstate highways, so there are bound to be pictures floating around:
NJ-41 | PA-42 | OH-43 | IN-44 | MI-45 | IN-46 | IL-47
From there, the surrounding 48s are fairly minor highways, but Iowa seems somewhat likely.

Watch out for states with US50, 51, and 52.
I could do IN 48 >> IL 49 >> WI-50, so we're far enough north to avoid US50...Then, IA-51 would be possible, then jumping southwest we could have a few states with 52's. We'll want to stay away from MN/WI/IL/IN/OH for 52. MI-50 and MI-51 would trap us.

How so? The original rules simply say "a state adjoining the location". No one ever said the border had to be a land border. I didn't shift any goalposts, I merely pointed out an alternative possibility within the existing goalposts that hadn't been considered.
To add some fuel to this fire, I will also point out that had the Orient Point-Watch Hill Bridge (http://www.nycroads.com/crossings/eastern-sound/) been built, it would have been possible to drive directly from New York into Rhode Island. If that bridge existed, would you still not care about this border?

Many political borders are created due to bodies of water, whether lakes, rivers, or oceans. The problem is when one argues whether Florida has a water border with South Carolina and all points north.
Is there New York State <-> Block Island auto ferry? Then I'd say it counts, but I don't know of one (a Narragansett <-> Block Island ferry exists). If we're going to introduce any shipping or cruise line, as opposed to auto ferries, then we're kind of opening things up past the scope of the thread/forum, in my opinion.

If you look into legal definitions this is unambiguous. Michigan borders Illinois and Minnesota because they are on opposite sides of an interior waterway, and each state's legal jurisdiction extends to the middle of the lake.
When dealing with states facing the ocean, however, the UN Convention on the Law of The Sea stipulates that a nation's territorial waters only extend up to 12 miles off its coasts - so this is, in effect, the maximum distance that any US state's jurisdiction can extend into the ocean. Which in turn means that in order for two coastal states to border each other, they must come within 24 miles of each other in a straight line across open water. Florida theerefore does not have a water border with South Carolina since the two states are separated by a considerably greater distance than this. And even if they were closer, the geography of the coast is such that Georgia would still have jurisdiction of some of the water between them.
As for New York and Rhode Island, forget Block Island... the eastern tip of Fisher's Island (part of New York) is only about 2.1 miles from Napatree Point (part of Rhode Island). (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.3007739,-71.9087951,14z) There is no ferry service connecting the two directly, but so what? The existence of a border is not dependent on there being a fixed or regularly scheduled means of transporting a car across it. There are no roads crossing the land border between Panama and Colombia (the infamous "Darien Gap" in the Pan-American Highway), so you can't drive across. Would you say that the two countries don't border each other on account of this?

I'd say that would be quite a reasonable stipulation to add for these purposes. But we would have to add it; it isn't implicit in the unmodified phrase.

If a state borders another state, it counts. Illinois and Michigan count. New York and Rhode Island count.

I've actually heard rumor of someone having ridden a dirt bike across the Darién, but I'm not sure how credible it is.
What is certain, however, is that it's possible to take a vehicle from Panamá to Colombia. There used to be regular ferry service, and one can still transport a vehicle by ocean-going cargo vessel (in a container or strapped to the deck). I've even read the account of an adventurous chap who made his way along the coast with his motorbike by paying natives to transport him and his bike by motorboat. Besides vehicles, it's also only a few hours' walk along the coast from a Colombian immigration office to a Panamanian one.

I have a SC 63 I could play but I guess that would require someone having a GA 64 to play off it. I'll hold off for now but would be happy to post it if helpful.

As long as Georgia has a route 64, that's not your worry. Go ahead and use your SC 63!

If we're stuck and someone wants to post a GA 63 instead of a GA 64, I could delete my SC 63. GA 63 intersects I-85 so maybe someone's more likely to have it than GA 64.

I have that very same VA 63 photo, which I took a few years ago.
VA 63 pretty much forces us to Maryland. Both West Virginia and Kentucky have I-64, North Carolina has US 64, and while Tennessee duplicates state and US routes, I'm not sure about TN 64's existence.
GA 64 runs through Bacon County, which I visited last summer, but unfortunately I don't have any photos of signage since I was not on that route.

TN 64 does exist, and in fact crosses I-24 just southeast of Murfreesboro. Both it and GA 64 are, alas, roughly three and a half hours away from me.

I have an MS 67, but I think maybe we should head further north to avoid states where US70, 72, etc will cancel out the presence of state routes with that number. Also I feel like I should bring up that Indiana will be kaput for the most part in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

And as we head toward the upper reaches of the double digits, note that this does
not mean the South will be out of play - TN, GA,
AL, and FL are all a-okay with number duplication. (EDIT: AL allows duplication with Interstates, but not US routes.)

We're looking for a 69 from AR or MS if I recall correctly.
This turns out to be an interesting programming exercise. The bordering states are a bidirectional graph, and each node has a list of available route numbers. Your algorithm can find the longest path starting from anywhere, or the longest path starting, ending, or including a given node (state).
It could even be a useful interview exercise, if the data set were already provided. (Defining the borders and listing the route numbers would take a lot of time.)

Correct. Oklahoma has one, and New Mexico used to until somewhat recently, though.
In case anyone was planning to be tricky, I already checked: none of the Mexican states bordering Texas have a state highway numbered 71.
Looks like I just missed being able to get an OK 71 a few years ago. Is 71 going to be the number that ends the game?
can always retract TX 70 and replace with a TN 70 which would open the game back up...
I had a TX70 and specifically decided against playing it, due to the chance it would lead to a dead end (considering the proximity of US71).

Nope. TX-79 is a decently long corridor.
I had thought about writing a program to figure out the longest "hello neighbor" chain in the US -- but the number of possible paths is a combinatorial explosion.
In the 6 New England states, using state routes from 1-100 only, there are 5,539 combinations. All the longest ones start with RI 7 and end with NH 28. (US 1 through 6 are "in the way" for most states, and no state has a Route 29.) That's manageable.
Add New York, routes 1 through 30 only, and the number of combinations increases to more than 13 million. The longest chain is still 7 though 28, but many more paths run through NY.
Add the rest of the New York state routes to 100, and ... I don't know how long it takes to run. A rough estimate based on NE+NY routes to 30 is about 1.73^n, where n is the number of routes. 1.73^100 is about 6.4 * 10^23, a little more than a mole. All 50 states, 100 routes, might be about (1.73 * 50/7)^100 or 8 * 10^107. We could probably refine this estimate based on route density, number of neighbors, and so on.
Instead of a brute force "search everything", a bounded search (say, starting from LA 78) will be quicker. Then most of the work is data entry (listing all the routes for each state). But the algorithm itself was the more interesting part.

Rule proposal: If 48 hours passes without anyone making a valid play, any player can play one of the following:
A) Route 1 from the last state played.
B) A US or Interstate highway matching the next number in a neighboring state.

Reply #28 says Alaska is considered to be adjacent to Washington and Hawaii for the purposes of this game.. We can't get to Alaska in 4 steps anymore (98 was the only possibility), so it's out.
Also, see the argument on Page 4 about whether Illinois to Michigan is allowed (it's a water border).

As do I, except (usually) for freeway signage (for the obvious safety and legal reasons :)). I really dislike pictures taken in the car.

Photos must be from your personal collection. No Google Street View, DOT photologs, etc. The exception is that if we get stuck for 24 hours, you may post a photo from another roadgeek's website, Facebook page, Flickr collection, and so on.
Shouldn't this have stopped at 92?
Hurricane Rex is pulling photos from elsewhere on the web mere hours after the preceding play.

Assumed the rule was the same for each challenge. Generally only gsv isn't allowed.
You can pull from elsewhere, but you have to wait 24 hours to give someone a real chance.
The idea is to use sources other than GSV or the like. Use your own personal collection or someone else's personal collection, not a commercial or similar source.

Here's a retroactive IA-98. WI-100 was played last. I have an IL-101 if someone wishes to farm (https://www.flickr.com/photos/138603251@N02/albums/72157673117616431) it from my collection

Here's a new challenge game that I thought of. Let's see how far we can go with it. Due to the nature of the game, photos from Alaska and Hawaii will have to be omitted, but that's OK.
The general premise is that a photo of a state route marker will be posted. The next poster will then post a photo of a state route marker of the next highest number from a state adjoining the location of the previous post. You should identify the state, since someone who posts a photo from Tennessee could be followed up by someone playing a circular route marker from either of two neighbors (Kentucky or Mississippi).
Photos must be from your personal collection. No Google Street View, DOT photologs, etc. The exception is that if we get stuck for 24 hours, you may post a photo from another roadgeek's website, Facebook page, Flickr collection, and so on.
Preference is for ground-mounted markers. BGS route markers are discouraged but allowable in dire circumstances.
I'll start with KY 1.
(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmillenniumhwy.net%2Foldsigns%2Fky%2FKY1-KY1711.jpg&hash=b24e35e8558672a722e17b483275403a86ea289c)
Next poster must play a State Route 2 sign from either Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois or Indiana.
Have fun. Let's see how far we can get with this and how many states we can get in play; I'm thinking somewhere well into the triple digits until we run out of options.
I was thinking mostly of state primary route markers, but I realize that Tennessee provides a special difficulty here since their numbered roads can switch from rectangular signage with the state name and outline on the bottom, to a triangle, and back to the rectangle. So I will say that while primary routes are preferred, secondary routes for the states that have them (Virginia circles, West Virginia circles, Tennessee triangles, etc.) will be acceptable.
As for Wisconsin's Rustic Roads, I don't know that I have ever seen a marker with a route number on it. Just a supplemental sign similar to the Kentucky Scenic Byway, Virginia Byway, West Virginia Byway/Backway, or similar.
Next play would be 101 from any of Iowa's neighbors.

Believe you mean Wisconsin, but it ends up all the same here. ;-)
So because I have the opportunity, and Minnesota's TH 101 is one of my favorite routes just for its odd history, I have to play it:

I have an Indiana 110 in my Indiana collection, but I'm holding off so I can possibly play OH-111. IL, MI, IN, and OH don't have a 112...if we stay in the Midwest, 112 will have to be WI or MN. WV has a 112 as well, and some other states of course.

That's why I sometimes wait for people to clear out of the foreground and mid-ground of my pictures (if feasible, of course–I'm not going to stand there waiting for more than a few minutes). I think people care more about (not) being in the pictures than whatever it is you're photographing.

MN-118 (the second one) existed for a bit in the 80s and 90s as the designation for the US-10 freeway before it was completed, but I doubt anyone has pictures of that. (If they did, I'd be impressed!)

If the game gets into a corner for an extended period of time, should the poster be able to reset the game by picking the number previously played?
If we back up one and let this Michigan 117 replace the Iowa 117, maybe we can carry on a bit further? Note: the OP specifically allowed the water border between IL and MI upthread.

There's a whole lot of nowhere between the populated Midwest (roughly east of the Mississippi) and the West Coast, so it'll be less likely that members of the forum have much coverage of the roadways in the relative desolation. I just have a ton of stuff from Illinois, plus a bunch of roads in WI, IN, IA, and western Ohio. So it's safe for me here :D

I know we wanted to avoid BGS-mounted shields, but it's been two days.

Given how slowly this thread actually moves, that seems awfully restrictive. The intrinsic nature of this thread never meant that it was going to get very far to begin with. I'd be surprised if we make it to 200 without backing into another corner, like we already did at 117.

OK. Then maybe some mechanism that allows for an "escape" when stuck in a particular area?

Anyone with half a brain knows it has to be a place where they serve piña coladas.

This thread will inevitably have to start over. When we do, we can add a stipulation that the same state cannot be repeated within a certain number of plays. (I'd recommend a number like 4 or 5.) I'm not the boss here so take my suggestions as a grain of salt, and I'm obviously open to criticism, counterarguments etc.

NH → ME → oops
With 5: NY → MA → oops
Also, WA and FL each border two states only, so if OR/ID/GA/AL doesn't have the next number... also oops.
All this weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Just play, folks. If we get into a corner, game over, and if someone wants to start a new game, that's fine. I personally see no need to tweak the rules.
We're in Virginia, so we can go back to Kentucky for 135.

As they say, a little less conversation; a little more action, please.
Back by popular demand! It's Illinois! :awesomeface: Just because I'm aware of a couple options for 137 from there. You want to take it to another area? Nobody is stopping you...I just have every state highway in Illinois, so it's safe for me here...and I know I can depend on a couple people to keep giving us stuff from IA and MN. (and there is no IL-139) Most states near me will die out before we get to 200--Indiana at 170, Illinois at around 180, Wisconsin at around 190.

Glad to see Iowa adopting standard arrows, but I hate the wide three-digit signs.
