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

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.
