Challenge: Post photos of outrageously complex airport roadway infrastructure.

A stock photo of an interchange for Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ). I've only used the airport twice, but I remember being really impressed with the complex setup of the roads there!

I'm assuming you mean today, the 17th, and not tomorrow, the 18th. :pan:

This is on Iowa 9 at County Road R50. Best part about this imitation is the fact that when the current Minnesota state highway marker design was implemented, the numerals were yellow for a short time before MnDOT switched to using white numerals.

I'm going to interpret this to include Canada.

Here's one of the A-15 shields in New York.  This one in Champlain.  April 25, 2009.



Some Vermont shields on New York 7 approaching the western end of the Bennington Bypass.  October 16, 2004.



And Vermont's equivalent in North Bennington.  October 16, 2004.

Don't have anything from my own collection for this one, but since GSV appears to be allowed, here's Florida's rendition of GA 111 from northbound US 27:

Here's a shot of it from last summer - it's less than a quarter mile from the border. Florida doesn't have a number for it, although if you squint, it could be part of "CR 157". It's been signed that way for a long time, apparently...




On the other side of Florida, there's a FL 85 shield on US 331 in aptly-named Florala:


FM 1905 on I-10 within the last mile of New Mexico:

New Hampshire installed sign for a Maine exit along I-95 northbound leaving Portsmouth.



If we're doing Canadian shields, then here's a Quebec installed sign for ON highway 417 heading into Ontario from Autoroute 40.



Also, what about Canadian versions of the interstate shield? If that counts, then there's this BGS installed by New Brunswick for I-95.

Challenge: Post photos of tunnels.

I'm going to leave that without further restriction, but in the spirit of diversity, the more unusual/funkier/weirder, the better.

For this Challenge only, Google Street View (or similar) is not allowed.

Not exactly unusual, but here is a photo I took of the Liberty Tunnels in Pittsburgh (or the "Tubes" as we Yinzers call them).

I suppose if it has lights, it counts as a tunnel, right? I-75/85 in downtown Atlanta.
