Highway number game

[Ian]

2 and 8 means 28!

[ctsignguy]

and 2 + 8 is 10!

[US71]

and 2 + 8 is 10!

Would you call these "perfect 10's" ?

[agentsteel53]

whose photo is that of the 7/49E/82 gantry?  Better than my picture that we used for the shield gallery.

speaking of 10 ... and Mississippi ... here's a brand new '61 spec I-10 shield they just put up!



after years of terrible no-state-name shields, looks like Miss is definitely getting their act together.

[ctsignguy]

[US71]

Well, if you're going with a "classic 10", the how about another "classic 10" ?

[corco]

Or a former (US) 10

[ctsignguy]

Keeping it in the Evergreen State

[corco]

Off US 101 is Loop 100

[US71]

Go about halfway across the country and you're in Missouri

[agentsteel53]

there are many US 66 shields out there, some of more dubious provenance than others ...

[Darkchylde]

More 66 action.

[corco]

After 66 comes 77- this is a pretty old reassurance shield- note the small Idaho

[US71]

More 66 action.

Ah, I remember that one well: it (or a similar one) was along I-244 (later 270).

And Jake: KY US 66? WTF?????

[US71]

After 66 comes 77- this is a pretty old reassurance shield- note the small Idaho

Well, following that same logic, next is 88

[agentsteel53]

at some point, a sign collector acquired about 100 Kentucky blanks and anyone who wanted several had several ... some left theirs blank (for example, me), while others decided to play "fill in the blank". 

in any case, after 88 comes 99.

[ctsignguy]

cant go forward, so i'll go backward somewhat...

Two-thirds the kicks of Route 66...

[agentsteel53]

you just posted that seventeen seconds after me.  impressive. 

here, have a nice 33.

[ctsignguy]

i  call your 33...

[Scott5114]

OK 22/48 shields which somehow ended up on the back of a stop sign...

[agentsteel53]

that is either a colossal stop sign, or a pair of 18x18 shields.

from the looks of it, I am going with colossal stop sign.

haven't had 11 yet ... here's one from Mississippi

Oklahoma is notorious for oversized STOP's.

The 11 sine looks like it may be Hattiesburg. I was checking out the railroad back in March, but the blue sine is no longer there.

But to follow up, here's 12

[ctsignguy]

i call your 22



and raise you 22 more

[US71]

I'll see your 22 and raise 190

[ctsignguy]

i see your 22 and 190, reshuffle the numbers slightly, and raise you 912!
