HOW SO? There are at least 3 One's in each and one other number. Is that not what you asked for?

The challenge meant every digit, but one, was a 1.

Looks like I have quite a few more.  Here are three of them.

I-10 in California.  February 22, 2007.



I-95 in Connecticut.  September 14, 2007.



And assuming 'A' is not a digit other than 1, this one in Salem, Massachusetts.  June 16, 2005.

The first one I thought of was this sign at the I-81/US 11 interchange in Mattydale, NY.

That was actually a very cool, interesting, and unique contribution to today's challenge.

I didn't think about someone using one single BGS that had all the numbers meet the criteria, which was not just including the route shields themselves, but everything: the exit tab, distance, and route shield.

Very neat! And a nice road picture to look at, anyway.  ;-)  :thumbsup:

Thanks!  It also works whether you consider it 3 1's and a 1/2 or 4 1's and a 2.

is Other Desert Cities a real place or did California just put that up so they don't have to list any more city names?
I take pictures of road signs, that's about it.

General rule of thumb: Just stay in the "Traffic Control" section of the forum and you'll be fine.

other Desert Cities (note: the o is lowercase) is not a real city, but it has been made into a play.

Thru Traffic is another "fake" city.

Yeah I was pretty sure it wasn't a real city, I just decided to ask. Thanks though!

Yep. Though it is preferred to embed the GSV image within your post, not just the link.

I suggest adding that to your OP then. I've been doing it because it makes the challenge entry easier to view on mobile, and also just in case Google decides to break their old links for the sake of "progress."

My only reasoning for placing the Assuming that GSV is allowed disclaimer in my post is due to recent histories in other long-running threads of others jumping down one's throat because they did such & such even though the action is allowed & is clearly stated in the OP's post.

Ok.  I did a search elsewhere in the forum to find that procedure (I tested changing url tags to img only to get a small black box w/an X) but only found such for Google Map images but not Google Street View.
