I'm a little confused on how the challenges come up. Can anyone on the forum come up with a challenge or is that up to the challenge creator?

If nobody has posted it for that day, anyone can create one. You can create one right now if you want, as there is no December 14 challenge yet.

Iowa thinks it can replace a single route shield with two little ones in the same space.  They aren't tiny per ce, but they are abysmally small for anything on a BGS.  They're really hard to read.

Tiny I-84 shield on the milepost.  Also a sign goof where NY 17 is erroneously signed as US 17:

Falls Church, VA often includes mini-route markers like this one, on street blades for the numbered highways passing through the city.

These tiny markers on US-65/69 in Indianola, Iowa. I think this was a mile marker at one point (there's one going the other way, too), but that doesn't explain why both routes are on the post. :confused:

How did I miss those when I was passing through?

BTW: US 65 is used for the mileage on the duplex.

To be fair, those things are something like 6x6", so they're probably not too difficult to miss cruising at the speed limit. And to add, last time I was in Indianola (about a month ago? something like that) they were still there. (That picture is from October 2016.)

And you are right, US-65's miles are used for the concurrency. Most of the mileposts along there do have the tiny US-65 markers above them, but curiously, the one you can see in the background of my picture does not. It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma, I tell you.
