What was the outcome of the voting, by the way? Now that I look at it again, I'm thinking of another option that wasn't considered: to allow previous numbers, but only if they're older than a certain time frame (or a certain amount lower than the number currently in play). That way, you don't get the jumping around between, say, 188-189-184-183-176-185-188-190, but you can still get your older photos in after a certain point.

7/8

Here are some >100 numbers from me:

Ottawa Road 174 branching off the 417


Wellington CR 124 at Maple Grove Rd in Cambridge


Ottawa Road 114 (using the older-style Ottawa-Carleton RR 114 shield) off of Ottawa Rd 19

You could definitely do this number 190 just by posting Interstates from three different states.  If you're up for an added challenge.

Gonna kick off 192 with these ugly US192 shields with inconsistent numbering (lettering?), in Kissimmee FL


IMG_7192 by Paul Drives, on Flickr

I took this Iowa 192 photo a year ago, just for that route to be decommissioned:


IA-US6-192WE by Paul Drives, on Flickr

Illinois 192.  Illinois has very few highways with numbers higher than this, so don't expect to hear much out of me from here on out.

Interesting that Disney makes more realistic road signs for some of its attractions than on its actual roadways. :-D
