Yeah, and that's the only person sitting with a score of -1.  Come on, these aren't difficult rules to follow. Post a picture of a highway sign.

So you're claiming that these don't count as route markers?





Even though the USBR system is set by the same group that establishes the US highway system?

Ohh-kay.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Or even signs for these routes?

That's explicitly a highway!

alarmy.com has a stock photo of the NCN765 cycle route


but this silly rule I'm going to have to go with the DW765 from Poland then

Next is actually 766. The sign from Poland has both a 764 and a 765, and the 764 was from Ohio on the previous page. That one counted for the 765.

Highway route markers only.
And bike routes are highways (at least in English law) :wave:

Paul's post was only a few seconds after mine, so he wouldn't have known that it had been posted.

Sorry the 765 picture wasn't showing up on my computer.
Yes 766 is next.

P.S. I thought this was AARoads, not AABikepaths.

Absolutely!  It might take some GSV but I think 1000 is achievable.

And now that I know you are keeping score, I'll try to step up my game, lol.

We've been over this time and time again lol.  GSV basically isn't allowed unless we're reeeeeally desperate.  We haven't cut corners to get this high, and I'm not about to start now!  :)
