The Monterey County and San Benito County line is marked via spray paint on the San Juan Grade (pre-1932 US 101).  The Monterey County has asphalt patching over the Portland cement:

And yet there is a San Benito County placard.  Thing is that it is facing the wrong way towards Monterey County:

San Benito County has put all sorts of signs about CCTV surveillance.  Apparently, these were placed due to illegal trash dumping.  I only spotted two cameras which were about fifteen feet from each other.

French Broad River MPO (Asheville) proposes hot lanes on I-40 between exits 27 and 44.

Don't see it happening.

...unlike New York that considers interstate/ state route combinations as one continuous route.

NY considers I- and NY- routes separate, with distinct reference markers/milepoints for each.

Moar leftover pre-alphanumeric shields!



Remaindered NR32 shield on truck signage along A32 Barrier Hwy just east of the SA-NSW state line (west of Broken Hill). This is the same shield style I have here, though we're pretending it's from the Mitchell where my wife used to work (we don't really know):



But this gem was a freestanding NH20, still with the NATIONAL tag:



Found on A20 Sturt Hwy between Gol Gol and Euston.

I was wondering why PA 283 wasn't given the route number 300, being the state inventories it as SR 0300.  Considering that you have an interstate numbered 283 as well, and both aren't continuation of each other as PennDOT considers them separate routes unlike New York that considers interstate/ state route combinations as one continuous route.

Might as well be a different number too.

I'm not gonna lie late at night one night, I was driving up Mulholland and I went to the trailhead near Encino Hills. The gate was open and I may or may not have driven halfway down the dirt portion until I got scared and I said yeah, this is probably not a good idea and I turned around. I kind of wish I would've completed it but it my gut told me it was not a good idea. I suspect the Rangers were probably on that trail and they were further down the path than I was.

I drove it a couple times back in the early 80s, before it was closed. The turnoffs had great views of the SF Valley, but they were full of crushed beer cans and broken bottles.

Having grown up in the area (Palisades High), dirt Mulholland was a favorite "parking" spot. I'd imagine there's a lot of other ... debris.

The rubber certainly meets the road there.

How about an Australian highway END (not frequently posted)? Here's Melbourne urban route 60 ending just north of the UR 43/CityLink interchange. Quick shot out the passenger side since this sign is a bit hidden.

Columbus has long been thought of as an ambiguous placename outside of Ohio. An impression that is no longer deserved, if it ever was to begin with, IMO.

Understand the logic of it, but looks peculiar next unstated Cleveland. 😅

Washington of course because our nation's capital is nearby and served indirectly by I-270.
