495s are a rather Northeastern Thing, aren't they? I have a few I-495, but that's it.

Here's one on FDR Drive in Manhattan:

More button copy goodness for this I-495 shield on I-95:


Not many state-named shields left in New York, but we'll take what we can get:

Been over a day...498 is upon us:

Louisiana Highway 498 near Alexandria:


MS 498 along US 45 near Porterville:

A reminder: Jurisdiction matters, so two pentagons from separate counties count as separate routes.

499 is now in play.

I've basically been offline for a week so I have a bit of catching up to do. Actually, I have numbers from four states to upload so I have a lot of catching up to do.

Let the 500s begin!

Not a good-looking sign, but I like how the sky turned out. NM 500 on I-25 near Albuquerque:


Loop 500 near Center, Texas:


FL 500A on FL 19 in Tavares...a short link road between 19 and US 441 on a former routing of FL 500 / US 441:


There aren't many three-digit Florida SR "A" routes left, most were turned over to county maintenance.

Jim

Back after a few missing numbers, but it looks like I'll have most of the first half of the 500s.  Just one 500, though.

New Mexico 500 from New Mexico 47.  April 4, 2004.
