You missed the newest post.

US 27 north of Chattanooga, played from Jim's Old 27:

Going from US 27 to I-27:

Louisiana 27 (BGS)

[Jim]

Louisiana 31 in Opelousas.  November 22, 2003.

I take it you're treating all three variations of Louisiana shields (green-on-white, white-on-black, and BGS) as the same? (That's not how I would interpret the spirit of the game.)

I say the play is good, as it matches the shield in the previous photo.

The idea is that the meaning of the sign (in this case, Louisiana state route) matters more than the design itself. I made an exception for the circle shields from various states because they are literally the same signs (and because you can't always tell which state it's from).

[jbnv]

OK. Let's match a round number.

Kilometer-post 1000 on Ontario 17.  July 17, 2015.

Out of curiosity...  Are there any states that use true ovals for 3-digit state route markers?  Kentucky doesn't actually use one.

I think Mississippi does.

Kentucky uses about four different shapes for wide markers, including ovals. If you're so inclined, you can see just about every variation of them on my most recent Flickr entries from my home state.

Back to 27 again.

No jumping signs.

[Jim]

Let's stay on "Lane Ends" but make it just 200 Feet.  New York 378 in Menands.  May 22, 2006.

[ilpt4u]

I'm tempted to "borrow"  one of your signs from your website, Jim, to make a play on 200

[oscar]

Don't worry, I have 200 covered.

HI 200, on the Big Island:

[Henry]

MD 200, the ICC:

[Jim]

We can't hit 200 without including some representation of MSR 200.  Here's Minnesota 200 near the entrance to Lake Itasca State Park, where you can wade across the Mississippi River.  July 12, 2003.

[MNHighwayMan]

On the MSR theme, here's either ND-200 or MT-200, as depicted by the members of my sign collection. (Doesn't have to be signs in the field, does it?)

FL 200 near Island Grove:

[oscar]

Staying with Florida state route markers (since we might've run out of route 200 photos in other states/provinces -- though we don't have at least California, Idaho, or Manitoba 200 covered), a badly faded FL 5 marker:

Illinois 5 because why not.
