National Highway 493, with a Prefectural Route 206 on the other side of the river. I hope there was a "One Lane Bridge" sign (or equivalent) behind the crossing.

It's been over 24 hours - I don't have a 497 in my collection, but I found this online:

^Totally legit.  Next is 498!

LA 498, Alexandria, LA.

LA 498, Alexandria, LA.

That's not an image. Also, the "wait 5" rule.

I honestly think Texas's Farm to Market Road 498 will be our best bet, considering it is exit 42A off of I-69E.

I can see this intersection from my front porch.

Thank you for living in a specific house.

I live in a specific house, too.  ...??

I think we should give HB bonus points if he has his picture taken on his front porch with the intersection in the background.

The sign to the left with the red arrow (危険区域) means literally "Danger Zone", which means Route 493 is the Highway to it :-)

In fact, it will take you . . . right into the danger zone.

Yes and yes. It was a suggestion.

Holy crap someone post a 499 cuz I am chomping at the bit with a 500 over here and it's driving me crazy lol
Every time I check it and there's no 499 picture and Im like GAH WTF

Just to move things along, here's a former BC 499 shield, from a ebay listing (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Vintage-Highway-499-British-Columbia-Highway-Sign-RARE-Man-Cave-Gas-Oil-Garage-/322119499201?hash=item4affd17dc1:g:VPUAAOSwInxXMTHb).  This was in use between 1964 and 1973, back when BC was trying to copy Ontario's 400-series system.  Except they only built 401 and 499, so they ended up scrapping the designation and going back to 1 and 99.  I've heard many a lecture from my mother about "taking the 401 to the lake" when she was young.  I think she still refers to it as "the 401" just to annoy me.

Wait until 5 plus your previous post before posting again. Looking at you, national highway 1 lol.  The post above is a fail, but we'll keep moving on with 467 next.

As a percentage, nh1's score is better than mine.  I didn't notice the "wait 5" rule at first, and shortly thereafter I dropped off the forum for a while.
