Hey, it looks like I get to do a challenge today!

March 9
Post a photo that shows a route marker assembly with an Interstate marker, a US route marker and a state primary route marker.

To specify, we're looking for standalone route marker assemblies, as opposed to guide signs with route shields on them (that was the January 4th Challenge)? If so...

...that one wouldn't qualify.

But it was not originally specified for this challenge (unless rules change at random?)

However, I will submit this

Well, I don't know that, which is why I asked. I thought perhaps "route marker assemblies" was that specification. Perhaps it wasn't (and it's likely the Challenge will expire before we know, anyway). But no, it wouldn't be a change; whatever H.B. meant initially is what would stand.



And hey, since it's that time of the night...

I couldn't find any signs with my real name in my photo collection, but my username is easier :).

Here's a photo I took of Hwy 7/8 EB heading into New Hamburg, ON.


And here's a screenshot from GSV of a roundabout sign at Homer Watson Blvd and Block Line Rd (in Kitchener) which includes the slash (and this is what I based my current avatar on).

I have a number of photos that have been sent of route H and route B in both Missouri and Wisconsin, an HB Street from West Liberty, Ky., and a couple of Elkins Streets. Also any number of signs with Elkins on them from West Virginia. Maybe I'll post one after while.  :-D
