July 30, 2017: Use any challenge done on the 30th of any month

Okay!

August 30: Any town/city line signs

[CNGL-Leudimin]

Since it's past midnight CEST (but not my forum time), I bring back this attempt by adventurenumber1 when it was recap time:

August 29th 31st Challenge ---> Post pictures of roads that are undergoing pavement milling, which is the scraping out of pavement on the surface, which is usually used for reasons such as (but this challenge is not limited to) a resurfacing or other construction projects:

Luckily, I took a picture at work one day...at an overlay of Hassert Blvd in Naperville, IL...which I might have had something to do with

August 30: Any town/city line signs

I think this would fit the challenge better

I suppose I can be excessively apologetic, due to my anxiety and low self-esteem. I've even been known to apologize for apologizing too often.. (literally) 

Also, thank you for resurrecting my challenge idea for the 31st, CNGL-Leudimin, as I am glad it did not go to waste. I had at first mindlessly and unintentionally posted it on the wrong day.

You're a really good politician

I could never handle the stress of politics now, but at times sporadically as a young child I dreamed to be the President of the United States.

Also, by the way, I laughed way harder than I should have at this: 

Also, the challenge was road photos that had photos of trains in them, not just trains in them. This means a photo of a photo.

Here you go

But that's not the Challenge I was answering. I was answering your July 30th Challenge, not your August 30th Challenge!

Here's one from the current challenge with a state line as a bonus. Can anyone do one better and have city, county and state signs in the same photo

I don't see any pavement milling in this photo.

I know I don't make the rules, but I feel the challenge was made way too early. Come on, 6 pm?!

It wasn't 6pm where that poster was. Don't forget: time zones.

6 p.m. EDT (and my forum daylight time), but I'm in CEST which is six hours ahead EDT, and thus it was already past midnight. I took the time difference to my advantage .

Also, I could post a new challenge for September 1st now if I wanted thanks to exactly that, but I leave that for you.

August 31, Pavement milling

It wasn't the purpose of this photo, you can guess why I took it, I'm sure. but sure enough it fits the challenge.

And don't forget, you answer a Challenge according to your own time zone, just as you can post one. So even if he did post tomorrow's Challenge at 6pm today, you'd still be answering today's Challenge.

August 4: A road photo taken at sunset or sunrise

I-94 in Michigan, somewhere near Battle Creek and Kalamazoo:

[adventurernumber1]

These posts are now all updated, after a delay with my internet connection. As is still the case, the quality of all of these photos looks really crappy because while they are my photos, I cannot upload any of the raw pictures from my phone to the computer currently, so these are all screenshots of them from my brother's phone. I apologize highly for this lame quality.

August 2nd Challenge ---> Post pictures of signage, or anything else road-related, where the focus of the photo just barely fits in the shot enough to allow you to make out exactly what it is:

This is off of Georgia Highway 151 Northbound, at the intersection with US 41/US 76/GA 2 in downtown Ringgold:



This next picture is a dual contender for two challenges:

August 4: A road photo taken at sunset or sunrise

August 28: Two photos of the same location taken at different times

This is Georgia Highway 52 Eastbound in Dalton, going over the bridge over the railroads & S. Hamilton St.:



Following ^ that ^ picture, for the 28th's Challenge, here is a picture of essentially the same location at a completely different time. The first one was taken on a school morning this month (August), which may technically mean it is a triple contender, also being for the 13th's Challenge. This next one was taken several months ago on an afternoon after school:

August 6: Highways running beside water

This is on Georgia Highway 53 Eastbound on the Bolling Bridge over Lake Lanier near Gainesville, but this first picture is just after exiting the bridge - you can see the strand of water on the right that briefly follows the road:



This next picture is at the same place and in the same direction, but this is a shot from several seconds earlier, when still on the bridge:

August 12: Signs directing to a United States state's capitol building or campus [ongoing]

If Eth's contribution from Page 86 of this thread was not eligible, then I have a potentially eligible contribution for the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta. Even if it was eligible, this is not the exact same road-related sight. This is on I-75/I-85 SOUTH (The Downtown Connector) in downtown Atlanta, GA, right before the interchange with Interstate 20. This picture was taken by me at the beginning of June:

August 13: Your own road photos taken in August 2017 that have not yet been uploaded to this forum

I haven't snapped too many road pictures this past month relative to other months. Most of the ones I've taken have been regarding the construction on Interstate 75's Exit 326 in Georgia (Carbondale Road). This picture is on I-75 Northbound looking to the right at the off-ramp to the exit:

August 19: Signage for HOV lanes or express toll lanes

This picture is off of Interstate 75 Southbound right before the Brookwood Interchange with I-85 in downtown Atlanta, Georgia: (The Atlanta area is home to lots of HOV lanes.)

August 22: Signs for the evacuation routes for natural disasters

This sign appears to be blurry both in my picture (taken on my mother's phone) and on Google Maps Streetview ( https://www.google.com/maps/@32.8123671,-79.9517913,3a,78.9y,298.95h,86.5t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s_AzmHtL_KeRlLelh1yqV3w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 ), but perhaps my eyes just suck. It is undoubtedly hurricane evacuation signage of some sort. This is on Mt. Pleasant St. looking west right before reaching Interstate 26 in Charleston, South Carolina (EXIT 219B):

August 20: A road photo you took in the pouring rain

As someone who takes many road pictures, that means I have plenty from even in the rain. This is a very unique, intriguing addition to my collection - taken in the left turn lane from Tennessee Highway 58 Northbound in Harrison (in the Chattanooga area) onto Webb Road Northbound:



For the same challenge, this is off of I-75 North in Ringgold, Georgia, approaching Exit 350:

August 25: A BGS or sign assembly with three different US route shields

I think someone may have already posted one of the BGS'ses for this exit (but not this one), but I could not possibly deprive all of you from seeing it again, this time with the magnificent interchange with Interstate 77 in the shot - this is on Interstate 26 Westbound near Columbia, South Carolina:

August 27: Mississippi River bridges

The only time I have physically myself been over the mighty Mississippi River was on my trip to Arlington, Texas, when I went over the beautiful Hernando de Soto Bridge on Interstate 40 in Memphis, Tennessee.. However, due to my crippling luck and such, I have absolutely no photos or videos of it whatsoever. 

But, what I do happen to have is a mesmerizing picture of what I believe is Interstate 255 going west across the Mississippi River on the Jefferson Barracks Bridge near St. Louis, Missouri. My aunt (who's family lives in the St. Louis Metro Area) sent me this picture a month ago after they visited us and got back home, even though I have never been to this place in real life:

August 26: Roundabout/traffic circle/rotary diagrams

This is a blurry picture because it is on my old phone, taken in summer 2015 on a trip to the beach in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. This is off of US Highway 278 Eastbound within just a few blinks away from its eastern terminus, which is at a traffic circle with BUSINESS US 278 and some other roads. That very roundabout is obviously what this signage is depicting (because the quality of my picture is so horrific, I highly recommend seeing this signage in a much more visually appealing way by looking at it on GMSV - https://www.google.com/maps/@32.1576087,-80.7644829,3a,75y,170.41h,87.49t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s9eiLBHk_qNUdCpDJf6HgmQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 ):

August 19: Signage for HOV lanes or express toll lanes

Since I have one leftover slot, I am pleased to present to you a close-up of the signage from one of the pictures in the preceding posts of mine:



^^^ scroll up to the beginning of my first post in the series to understand why the quality and appearance of my photos looks so bad and strange ^^^

Oh god

September 1: Post a road/sign photo with an "I" or an "X" in it (upper case or lower case)
