There is a Flickr group for route signs, that I created. Route Signs - Numbered and Named.

Maybe we should pimp it out a bit more :)

You can go ahead and add your own photos to it. It's a public group.

Well shoot, maybe now I should actually use that Flickr account I made a while back.

The trip from Belchertown to the Mass Pike on MA 181 is a strange trip through old dead mill towns.  Used to go that way often when I was kid.

I would have started 182 yesterday...but I don't have a 182 in my entire collection.  I know Wisconsin has one?  And the Interstate in WA of course

There is one in California north of Bodie.  I drove by it several times last year but never grabbed a picture because this game wasn't a thing yet.  The next I have a picture of is my CT 183 sign.

For some reason, 182's a popular number in my collection.  Here's what I'll offer.

Brenner, Austria.  February 12, 2007.



California 182 in Bridgeport.  November 16, 2007.



And I'll go up to Cherryfield for Maine 182.  August 9, 2014.

There's an Iowa 182, and I'd go get it if it weren't a four-hour drive one-way from here. (It's in the far NW corner of the state.)

Thanks to the attachment of former alignments of US 167 and US 90, LA 182 is one of the longest Louisiana state highways.

This picture of Alabama 181 definitely needs to be retaken.

Kicking off 183 with CT 183...the ugly variety.  I wouldn't collect these unless I had lived there...disgusting design IMO:



And a crappy CA 183 I took when my camera wouldn't focus during a heavy rain storm last month:

What's ugly and disgusting about them? The solid border as opposed to black-within-white?

GA 183, in the old pre-2000ish style that I think looks much better than the more angular design they tend to use now:

No 182's, but I have a fair number of 184's for whatever reason.

I have just a single 184 to offer.  Ohio 184 in Toledo, possibly very nearby the one just posted.  I think mine's taken on US 24.  October 8, 2006.
