This one was still standing as of the last time I was through there, although it's been a few years.

Assuming there's no rule against my using the same photo for multiple challenges...

I'm sure I have one of the newish Abraham Lincoln Expressway signs for I-65 in Kentucky.

In the meantime, have an abbreviated George Washington.



And a Ronald Reagan (cue SPUI in 3,2, 1...)

And of course, it has to be done (in the last minute of the Challenge, no less...):

Challenge: Post photos of bannered route shield assemblies containing at least one banner other than Business (or BUS), Alternate (or ALT) or Truck.

(So, it can include any of the above types, as long as it also contains a banner other than those three. Thus, "TEMP BUSINESS" would be permitted, but "ALT TRUCK" would not.)

I posted this in the Take-It-Yourself challenge thread, but it definitely applies here too.



Another example of Iowa's Interstate emergency detours, this time as one single sign versus a marker with a stack of tabs.

Spur CR 549 in New Jersey:


Spur routes are a thing in New Jersey.

Quite a few of these permanent swiveling "DETOUR I-12" unisigns have gone up recently.

Where in Norton is that? I have pictures of another Old Alt. 58 cutout, but don't ever recall having seen that particular assembly.

Meanwhile, "CAR" at the New River Gorge visitor's center in West Virginia.

"Old" and "New" in Monticello, Utah, soon after the US 666 to US 491 conversion. September 27, 2003.

Bonus points for none of those being 3dus shields.

Sticking with an "Old", here's Old US 66 in Galena, Kansas.  January 24, 2004.



While "Bypass" does not really seem to be in the spirit of this challenge, since it's not specifically excluded, so..

By-Pass US 501 in Durham, North Carolina.  June 20, 2008.



By-Pass US 1 in Kittery, Maine.  May 29, 2010.

I've never even heard of a "CAR" route before.

Yeah, I debated on excluding it, but figured it was just uncommon enough to allow. Still, for this Challenge, the rarer the better!

[hbelkins]

Does anyone here know why the standard is "BY-PASS" instead of "BYPASS" with no hyphen?



OK, the rule says we can't use "TRUCK." But what about "TRUCK ROUTE" or "TRUCKS?"
