I'm really having fun with guessing the 2dis and 3dis, so why don't we start a game for non-interstate freeways?  Same basic rules as the other challenges, but the roadway must be a true freeway or tollway, and it cannot be a known unposted interstate like I-124, I-444, I-595, etc. because, of course, those can be played in the other games.  If your guess is a US highway, you do not have to specify the state.

Let's start with this one:



RULE UPDATE 1 (4/23/2022):  When displaying a photo, please reveal the forum region.

US 29?

Also, an early thought: we may need to start with a region reveal to keep it from being too hard.

Not US-29, but yeah that might be a good idea.  Especially with this photo which, I must admit, looks like it could be anywhere, because I'm pretty sure I've seen that sound wall design outside of this particular state.

But anyway, the region is Southeast.

Not Florida's Turnpike.

I'll give another clue: it passes by a major tourist attraction in the city it's located in.

That does look a lot like Briley Pkwy/TN-155, now that I think about it, between the Airport and Opryland

And we have a winner!

And yes it's between the Airport and Opryland, or more specifically between the US 70 Lebanon Rd and Two Rivers Pkwy exits, almost at the bottom of the hill.

The board now belongs to cockroachking.

Luckily I found a section of it that looked similar enough north of Opryland that made me consider it, or else I was going to throw in the towel  :D

Gonna throw out a random guess.
Pennsylvania Route 576?
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

NJ-208?
Not NJ-208 either, though I'm not sure if this counts anyway since it does share some lack-of-controlled-access features with NJ-17, though not quite as abundant.

webny99

I should know where this is. But I don't.

US 6 in PA, perhaps?

I'm guessing it's one of the parkways in New York State - the Saw Mill, the Taconic, the Palisades, or the Hutch. Any of those?

Ok it shows up as a blue freeway in RMcN atlases so I guess I assumed it was a true freeway but I suppose super streets are marked this way as well.  And I assumed it was climbing one of the same hills as I-280 does as you head west out of Newark.

Pick one, and I will let you know if it is or not.

Not US-15.

That is interesting, as clearly this would disqualify it from being a freeway in my view. That being said, it does function as a freeway, minus the handful of driveways and businesses. Are NJ-4 and NJ-17 marked as blue as well?
