Yes, I know. To me, recycling ideas (especially if they're over a year old) isn't a problem - I'd rather reuse challenges than have no challenge. At the end of the day, I'm just trying to facilitate people posting more of their road photos, which is the whole idea of this (and other) threads. So if you want you can ignore this one and wait another few hours til someone posts a new one.

QuoteJanuary 17, 2020. BEGIN/END combos.

Illinois Tollway (ISTHA) likes to put these signs up where one route doesn't technically end, but the designation along the tollway ends.  For example, this is where the 94 part of the Tri-State ends and becomes the 294 part of the Tri-State; I-94 doesn't actually end for real, though.

For whatever reason, there was never a rule against re-using Challenges. Probably oversight, but I'm glad it worked out as it did.
