Daily Picture Challenge!

November 9, 2017: Pictures of exit numbers with letter suffixes or prefixes, with these conditions:

• Milepost-based exits cannot use A, B or C as suffixes
• Kilometer-based exits cannot use A or B as suffixes
• Sequential-based exits cannot use A, N, S, E or W as suffixes
• Any letter(s) can be used as a prefix
• Letter-only exits (like Exit A) prohibited, since they were used in a recent challenge
• Must be an official highway sign of some kind -- billboards, advertisements etc. verboten

I hate to do a GSV submission, but I drove past this one today but didn't manage to get a photo. Exit 51H from WB I-90/I-94 to WB I-290 in downtown Chicago: https://goo.gl/maps/bMURgL1rm9u

Exit 54X on Florida's Turnpike for I-595's Express Lanes, which opened in 2015:


There's also Exit 2X and 4X, on the old "spur" of the mainline Turnpike; renumbering started with the Homestead Extension, so these needed something else.

Reading the challenge more closely, I see I can use the Thruway Berkshire Spur's exits.

I do love the Berkshire Spur. I haven't been on that since 1998 -- which probably explains why I apparently know so little about sequential exit numbering.

While I had the Berkshire in mind when I made that rule, there are/were other NY parkways or expressways or whatever on Long Island that also use prefixes IIRC. They could almost make up an entire challenge themselves.

B1 westbound.  September 13, 2014.

Is that a Mass Pike hat I see in the distance past the gore sign? If so, is that common to find in the area on the NY side?

If GSV is allowed for this challenge; I could post a whole bunch of examples in southeastern PA of STOP signs erected strictly for purposes of speed control/traffic calming (MUTCD no-no).

Nonetheless, I'll just post two of the most offending examples/applications (via GSV lnks).

This one's not even at an intersection

This one's for a walkway entrance on a sidestreet

All of the north/south parkways on Long Island have letter prefixes.  And yes, there are some Mass Pike shields in the Albany area.

It's allowed unless prohibited for a specific Challenge. However, it's preferable to include the images inline (via screenshot, for example).

And speaking of inline images...

...none of these appears for me.

Liberty, MO: should have 2 signal heads for thru traffic.

the squiggle lines in OK ar not allowed in the MUTCD, I'm not sure if they are still removing them, but when they repainted/resurfaced the roads, these were removed.

What is their purpose? Traffic calming? Alerting the driver that a stoplight is ahead?

Or a Stop sign.

Taking advantage of my time zone, I set the challenge for "tomorrow" .

November 11, 2017: Post Interstate shields showing a number which doesn't exist as an Interstate

For example, this one from the Shield Gallery. I-101 doesn't exist anywhere (yet), this being a goof for US 101.

[CNGL-Leudimin]

Only after 6:00 a.m. CET . This is still in play for you:

Besides, I was kinda hoping the challenge would be about veteran or armed forces-related signs or something.

You're expecting way too much out of our audience.

I use Eastern for forum purposes, so...

...so, looks like your November 11th Challenge isn't valid, then (posted on Nov. 10th, Eastern time).

Besides, I was kinda hoping the challenge would be about veteran or armed forces-related signs or something.

In which case, you can get your wish:

November 11th, 2017
Challenge: Post veteran- or armed forces-related signs.

Or something.

Fort Towson Trail ran from Fort Smith AR to Fort Towson, Indian Territory (Oklahoma).
Years later, this would be incorporated into US 71 and US 70


Audie Murphy Parkway, Farmersville, TX
Mr Murphy grew up in Farmersville and was the most decorated soldier in WWII

I'll post another picture of the Grand Army of the Republic Highway. This one in Colfax, IA.

It is Remembrance Day in Canada as well. Here is Alberta's red poppy shield on Hwy 36, aka the Veterans Memorial Highway.

No, no. This contradicts rule 1:

1. Only one Challenge per calendar day (not per 24 hours). Calendars days are counted by your local time, so if it's the correct date when and where you post, it's valid. When posting an Answer, please quote the Challenge statement to which you're responding (in case the date displayed for some users doesn't match the Challenge date).

My local time zone is CET (although here I quote times of the day in Eastern time), so my challenge is valid, and this one...

November 11th, 2017
Challenge: Post veteran- or armed forces-related signs.

... is not valid as there was already one set up.

Anyway, I may remove my post for November 9th as it was already November 10th were I live.

You also admit using US Eastern Time for your posts. So which time zone do you prefer?

You also admit using US Eastern Time for your posts. You seem to be bending the rules for your own purposes. So which time zone do you prefer?

Seeing as how you claim to use Eastern Time, I am of the opinion your post should be null and void.
