Highway number game

Take out the '0'

I-39 intersects US 20 in Rockford

[agentsteel53]

there is no US 39.  Even if there were, it certainly wouldn't be in Montana.

[agentsteel53]

oh, fudge-nuggets ... someone posted before I could get my awesome US-39 shield out there.  So, here, have a somewhat awesome US-20.



from the same state, no less.

[ctsignguy]

and my awesome US 20 from my last New England trip...

[njroadhorse]

That says MASS DPW on the bottom, so enjoy this Massachusetts assembly

[agentsteel53]

that picture would be awesome if it weren't for those #&$(* power lines.

Many hours of my life have I spent photoshopping out #&$(* power lines.

this is the only 116 on the shield gallery.  Appropriately, it is infested with power lines.

1+9+4 = 14

14 x 2 = 28

1+1+6= 8

28+8 = 36

Enjoy!

Half of 36 is 18:

i call your 18

experimental paint scheme to attempt to improve visibility in snow.  This was before reflectors were invented.

++ to 19... or at least the spur thereof.

[ctsignguy]

no witty comment....just enjoy...or cringe!

[WillWeaverRVA]

Adding a 3...

[agentsteel53]

back down to 56 for this nice green cutout

[ctsignguy]

Remove that 6 and get another green US shield....

[agentsteel53]

another green, another 5...



this is a photoshop job.  Have not seen a photo of a green 51 of that style, just the older cutout style.  Miss also used blue 51s.  The color scheme was local to each town and was not always consistent across the state, as they had more numbers than colors.  Rurally, the shields were all black and white - it was only when you got to a city with at least three highways in it that they were given the colors.

They tried to keep the same color whenever possible, but when not, they just used a different one.  49 was yellow or red, and state route 30 was blue or green as well.  I believe blue/green and yellow/red were the allowed pairs, but cannot confirm this (i.e. there may be a number that appeared in yellow and blue in various places, but I do not believe that was the case).

Swap out the 1 for two more 5's for Polk County 555:

[US71]

Well, 5+5+5 is 15

And add a 7 to make 307  *covers Jake's eyes!*

I don't know if it's allowed (Ooh, an Allowed Cloud!) to reply to an old post in this game, but I'm a mod~ so whatever, I do what I want.  But if I could be serious for a minute I really wanted to post this picture so I'm creating a "detour."   Don't reply to this one, reply to the one that is the post above this one.  Think of this as a "bonus" picture.

Replace the 0 with a 1 and you get...

And no this isn't some strange OH 317/KS 383 duplex, this is a picture of my wall in my old house and these signs are ebay specials.

Since the B in 65B probably stands for "business", here's US 22 Business

[US71]

Keeping with 22
