Hopefully my next one will be from Ontario.  I have a couple small windows.

That's the prison where Virginia's executions are done, so some prisoners leave that way without ever seeing the sign-o.

BTW, Mapmikey, thanks for covering for me on BC 395. I, and coverage of BC, would otherwise have been preempted around the time I was driving my car off the ferry in Ketchikan, Alaska. Playing this game can be tough when you're on the road -- I got preempted on three previous attempts to get Newfoundland in the game, once by only five minutes (but I still have some chances left).

Also, the BC 3 marker next to the BC 395 marker is the special marker for the awesomely scenic Crowsnest Highway, along the U.S. border from the TCH into Alberta province (no special marker in Alberta).

Unless I'm missing something, the markers are almost identical in both provinces:

One of three highways in the US to be numbered 398. The other two states with a route 398 are Arkansas and Virginia.

Clever, but I'm going to want a ruling from the judge on this.

I tell ya hWAT, it fits the rules as written.  I'm not a fan because you people seem to try to find any way possible that you can bend the freaking rules  :crazy:  :banghead:, but it technically adheres to all the rules.  Plus there's a proper BGS of 401 in the background anyway.  We're good!  :spin:

Onward with 402!  Will it be from Ontario?  Stay tuned to find out!

There's a KY 398 in Kentucky, so there are more than three routes with that number in the US.
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Anyone gonna post 402?  Was hoping to post 403 to showcase my limited amount of Ontario photos...

I couldn't be assed to go and take a crappy picture of one of the many A404 signs near me, given there's this lovely photo by David Howard of a pre-warboys sign for it instead.

Fortunately Ontario doesn't have a 408, so someone is going to have to get creative.
