Title: The 1-2-3 US Highway Shield Challenge
Post by: ColossalBlocks on January 17, 2017, 06:29:15 PM
The Rules Are

1. No hyperlinks to websites with pictures unless Google Images, or Google Maps.

2. If one person puts US Highway 412 down, then it must continue to the next route number, even if it is a few hundred numbers away.

3. Pictures with one shield in it are encouraged, but more than one shield is fine.

4. Generally, if the only pictures you have are ones of the shields hanging in your garage, that's fine.

5. No drawings, website generations, or fake ones of any kind.

6. Shields with numbers like this: http://www.kentuckyroads.com/images/us31ex/03nov28-2_t.jpg (http://www.kentuckyroads.com/images/us31ex/03nov28-2_t.jpg) ARE allowed, but if one number is E, and another one is N, then it must continue to N before advancing.

Good Luck.

What happens when we get to 28?...do we move on to the next available US route (29)?

A US 3 shield on northbound I-93:

I didn't see a rule on how often one could post, and we're only a couple hours away from the 24 hour mark, so I'll post US 4.

(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nysroads.com%2Fimages%2Fgallery%2FNY%2Fus4%2F101_6061-s.JPG&hash=115491223e1e4f592ac53f24d221273c644f12ea)

It's interesting that all the photos so far are in different states that border each other.

EDIT: One could argue that there should have been a picture of the other US 2, though.

There are a few US 28 shields in places that should have a SR 28. Same with 37, 38, and 39.

6. Shields with numbers like this: http://www.kentuckyroads.com/images/us31ex/03nov28-2_t.jpg (http://www.kentuckyroads.com/images/us31ex/03nov28-2_t.jpg) ARE allowed, but if one number is E, and another one is N, then it must continue to N before advancing.
It's ambiguous.  I'd guess that suffixes are optional normally but required for a route if introduced.  Not exactly the most consistent approach...

Since US 9 only has 9W, I guess it's your choice.

Post by: hbelkins on January 19, 2017, 09:02:22 PM
I'll play US 10. But that suffix rule is ambiguous. If one letter is E, then the other letter will be W, not N or S.

I think we also skipped US 11W, if I'm reading the rule correctly:

Quote6. Shields with numbers like this: http://www.kentuckyroads.com/images/us31ex/03nov28-2_t.jpg (http://www.kentuckyroads.com/images/us31ex/03nov28-2_t.jpg) ARE allowed, but if one number is E, and another one is N, then it must continue to N before advancing.

So H.B. introduced a number with E–in this case, 11E–and in his photo, "another one" was–in this case–W. So the game had to continue to W–in this case, 11W–before advancing to US 12. In other words, other suffixes introduced in a photo must get their own entries in sequence before we can move on to the next non-suffixed route number, is that right?

Don't believe it is required to get all the suffixes ('allowed' vs 'must do') but this should take care of all your US 11 needs...

Only required if one is introduced, I guess. It's really not clear to me. (Not important, either, just a curiosity.)

Ah, US 76 is probably my all-time favorite US Highway, which is why it is my avatar, and has been so since roughly late 2014 or early 2015.  :biggrin:

If I'm not mistaken, 165 is the next valid US highway number.

Would it be appropriate to recycle an old photo from earlier in this thread?  Lol

Quote from: oscar on February 22, 2017, 12:16:08 PM
FWIW, this is recycled from another thread.

Well, I've recycled my picture of the south end of US-151 for use in like four threads now, so I don't see the problem of recycling it in this thread itself. :bigass:

Edit: I should really go back during the summer months and get a better picture, but I digress...

I'm glad I can do 202 because this picture is weird.  Take a good look at it.  I'm on the sidewalk, and the signface is facing away from the road.  This signpost in NJ was twisted and mangled so it faces away from the auto traffic.

North Carolina has xxxA for US 221 and US 321. Which gets us into that whole "should alternate routes be signed as 'Alternate' or 'Alt' xx, or as xxA?" discussion.

I'd post it anyway since although it's not in the formal rules, we have informally been doing one number per post up to now (which I think makes it more fair for everyone).

So, once US-730 (830, maybe?) is posted, is this thread over or are we going to start at 1 again?

I believe we're still looking for a US 401.  I have plenty, but since I posted 400, I'll wait to see if anyone else covers it.

I say it's over because we'll have all the routes covered by that point.

US Route 521 is next; this one is on I-20 in South Carolina:

I was hoping the US550 would be a spectacle from the beautiful red rock lands of the American Southwest, and you didn't disappoint.  Excellent stuff, Jim.

Let's go with a real US 666 marker.

Former US 666, back when it wasn't "former". This is from Cortez, Colorado in 1996 (with a younger and skinnier version of me in front of the sign assembly), before US 666 was renumbered to US 491:
