Where's Steve at?

[Roadrunner75]

Here it is. Damn GDOT and their pseudo-random speed limit sign placement.

Wow, good job! I looked at the Fort Valley and Butler bypasses, but I didn't check the entire corridor.

Based on the Fall Line Freeway comment above, I started checking that out a short while ago too.  Also found that area, but I think the full growth of trees threw me off.  The westbound GSV with the taller trees closer to the road says 2008, but the EB GSV from 2011 looks more like it, with clearing on the north side at least.

Heh. For some reason the whole time I actually thought it was in Oklahoma

You don't know what our state song is? 

OT, but congrats on your impending US Routehood!

I suppose it's possible that that the highway was actually dualized, but that would be exceedingly rare, to the point that I don't even think such a thing exists.

Well, it does. The section in the photo was new terrain, but just west of there the westbound roadway was clearly rebuilt in concrete on the footprint on the previous highway.

Now I wonder if there are others.

All in all, this was a worthwhile if lengthy exercise. Thanks, SteveG1988!

Anyways, good job, and a tornado or something must've taken down some trees there since that 2008 image was taken on GMSV.

The following month was the Mid-May 2008 tornado outbreak sequence; I don't know that it affected GA 96, but it did hit Macon a bit to the north.

The trees may have also been cleared in the interim for a rather more mundane reason: logging.

Oh my goodness, now I feel like an idiot 

Despite having heard of it a million times, I've never actually listened to the "Georgia On My Mind" song, and I didn't know who wrote it either. Now I know why Steve kept taking about Ray Charles  (I would like to hear the song sometime though, especially since I'm a Georgian myself)

Also, before, I didn't look at the other bound of GA 96 in that street view. At first I thought a tornado could have easily cleared all those trees out, but looking at the 2011 street view and seeing one side of the highway deprived of many of its once-there trees, I think all those trees could have been cut down indeed.

I've never heard the song, but it is on the welcome signs to the state.

Maybe I'm getting lazy but hints, please.  I'll start with photo 1: NJ (not recently),  photo 2: PA (recently).

[Brandon]

Definitely not Illinois.  The reflectors are raised, leading me to believe this is from a southern state which rarely sees snow.

[SteveG1988]

1: Nope!

2: Nope!

And #1 is out of the snow belt.

They were taken mere days apart.

Is Photo 1 US 90 in Mobile, AL? Perhaps WB leaving downtown?

Negative, getting close though.

Clue: It is a business route

[Crazy Volvo Guy]

I want to respond, but I have to keep reminding myself that I'd essentially be cheating.

Why would it be cheating? Send me a PM and i will consider if it is or isn't.

[SteveG1988]

It is a 3di business route, the town one.

[BelpheniaProject]

Isn't this Mississippi?

[SteveG1988]

Isn't this Mississippi?

No, but getting closer.

3 digit interstate business route?  That's a short list...  Or do you mean US route?

Alabama?

I am also confused about this. I used to think that "3di" could mean anything 3-digit, but fairly recently I learned apparently it only means 3-digit interstate (hence the 3di though before I knew that I used to think the "di" was some abbreviation for digit; don't ask me why I thought that..  ). The correct term for a 3-digit US Highway is 3dUS.

Ah, i thought the i stood for 3DIgit, it is a 3DIgit US Route. starts with a 1 and it is not alabama.

Heh, that is exactly what I used to think..

Anyways, I think I found Pic # 1!! https://www.google.com/maps/@30.477004,-90.103744,3a,75y,315.82h,81.91t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sEOq-UJ8fBmF1mSbwArPc5w!2e0 (on Business US 190 in Covington, Louisiana)

I had checked all the business routes on US 165, US 167, US 171, and US 190 in Louisiana.

Good Work. Figured it would throw people off since it had a very americana feel to it.

Anyone get photo #2 yet?  Another hint, please.

[SteveG1988]

Oh, i see you need a hint. Well, i can just give ya one here, for we are not men. I don't want this to deevolve into us bickering about where it is.
