"Highest class of road you have defecated alongside".

I can (not proudly) say "Interstate".
Well, close: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=4969.0

You'll notice cl94's question was raised in that thread.
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

Where will the first Calrog Memorial Highway be designated?

It'll be a US Federal Route, for sure. Possibly Thirty-One-Dub.

We have actually had a number of posts containing apologies.  Forum search returns 26 pages' worth of results containing the string {apolog} (no braces), which should match apologies, apologize, apology, etc.  I certainly agree there are instances where regulars fail to acknowledge errors that they have made, but this is not the same as saying such acknowledgments never happen.

Rally or coach?

The irony is that in a historical context it actually is a fairly relevant topic regarding how modern road networks developed.

Yeah, but those could be "so-and-so owes me an apology."

No doubt, but a lot of the quoted snippets on the first page of results are variants of the phrase "I apologize . . ."

About IATA codes, I like the initials of the Chinese Proficiency Test, as they match the code of the closest airport to me: HSK

Expanding to ICAO codes, too bad Ivory Coast doesn't have an airport with ICAO code DIPG (see above). I think we had a thread about airport codes before.

Edit: Found it
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.
