This posting: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=20203.0 suggests an idea for today's challenge.  It's a little easy, but I feel like we've had some harder ones to match lately.

QuoteMay 6, 2017: Post pictures of signs where a place name ends in "burg"

Petersburg, New York.  Entering on New York 2 East from Massachusetts.  September 30, 2001.



Distance to Gettysburg, South Dakota, from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  June 5, 2003.



Clarksburg, Massachusetts.  Massachusetts 8.  February 2, 2002. (02/02/02)

Not many of those in south Louisiana. Had to go to Mississippi to find one in my collection.

A few more of mine before today's challenge expires.

"Pittsburgh" doesn't meet the challenge, but "Pittsburg" does.  This in Mt. Pleasant, Texas.  July 2, 2013.



2-for-1 on I-81 in Virginia.  July 16, 2013.



And the closest match to me is probably Duanesburg, New York.  From US 20.  May 22, 2014.

I'm sure it would, if you could find an image of Pittsburgh from before the 'h' was officially reinstated. :-D

MN-23 at MN-107's northern terminus



MN-101, CR-101, and CR-61 in Chanhassen



Edited to remove third picture because I was suffering from a temporary brain failure in thinking 25 was prime.

Edit again, this time to post a valid picture: MN-5 and CR-101 (former MN-101), also in Chanhassen

Guys, the number 1 is not prime by definition. However, I guess it's up to the challenge maker if he wants to allow it.

Also, I have pictures of two intersecting prime routes (IA-83 and 173) but both displays also have a TO I-80 shield set up next to them so that invalidates them (I think?) :angry:

Edit: Never mind, how could I forget about the END assembly :pan:

The challenge says that "adjacent signs do not disqualify the photo", so they should be okay.

I just edited my post with a picture that I totally, stupidly forgot about that doesn't even have the potential problem anyway, so it doesn't matter. :)

Edit: because I love edits, this is the picture that I was talking about.
