OK, here's NC-2660, (Newton County, AR)

I didn't think street blades counted in this challenge.

This doesn't count because it's a blade.

Here's the location in GSV.  Arkansas uses blue pentagons for actual route shields, including Newton County, but only very rarely.

Judges??

We've tried to stay away from street blades, except for those where they are accepted as a route shield (Virginia). This one really straddles the line because they incorporated the colors of a county route shield into the blade, kind of like Virginia Primary and Secondary routes might only get a blade-like sign to denote the route.

Maybe when we've exhausted all other options we can use those, because I'm sure were going to get squeezed out somewhere along the line.

If not, then FM 2660 from bmcdonau will do:

I'm good with whatever and am moving on either way!

Whatever the rule may literally be, I'd vote for whatever gives us a little variety from the Texas farm routes–in keeping with the spirit, from the OP, of:

...let's see how many different places we can represent!

I got the same thing when I tried to post it. The "host by proxy" method is not easy to copy.

Fair enough.

What are the ethics of saving a picture from one hosting site, and uploading to imgur?

Well, right before we figured how to do it the right way, I posted this...

OK, just to save everybody a fight, here's 1534.
Ripped from one of the Texas bikers' photostream.  Don't tell anyone.

And, again, if I hadn't posted this, then we would still be stuck at 2018.

Does this count ???

Looks like I'm the only one who's ever watched the video!

So maybe I'm not the best person to ask that question...
