dude, that could be anything.... can we please make the game feature elements that are relatively easy to guess?

It will still come down to either you know it or you don't and people will begin guessing.

Perhaps the random guessing of states should be eliminated.  There would be very few freeways that could be identified in the complete absence of green signs.  I propose that in future installments the state/province/country the image is in should be given in the post or easy to figure out from the sign.  Also, the green-out should be restrained.  I don't believe it should be eliminated, but perhaps only text and numbers should be taken out, and not route shields.  So you would see the shield and would know what types of routes are listed on the sign.

The might make it so that it isn't super-easy for those familiar with the area the image is from but still acceptable to the site staff.

^^ I just guessed Texas because the bridges in Truvelo's image looked like ones I've seen in Texas images.

there are very few freeways that go through this sort of red rock section!

I've no idea where it is but it must be in one of the southern states unless the palm tree has been photoshopped :colorful:

I'll take a shot.

Don't know the street name (Maybe Colorado Blvd.) in Pasadena, CA, but would it be the bridge that crosses the valley just to the south of The Rose Bowl?

You got it, its the Colorado Boulevard arch bridge above the original bridge, both over the Arroyo Seco in Pasadena. http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=ppqs3m54khmg&style=b&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&scene=31589564&encType=1
