July 22, 2018: Signs with 3 or more background colors.

Google Street View, so it doesn't count for the game, but it is another example.

Street View submissions are acceptable, as long as they appear inline (not as a link).

EDIT: However, submissions made on the 25th for the Challenge of the 23rd are not.

Might have to make them Weekly Challenges, at this rate.

July 27th:  Exit straight ahead (not including turn-off-to-stay-on configurations).

I'll say this one counts even though the arrows on the signs at the exit point don't match the road configuration or the advance APL.

July 29th, 2018: Unique Business Routes

Post your rare business routes, or non-conforming signs. Let me see some of those US routes in Texas with "business"  in the shield and not on a banner. Not every state has business state routes. Share what you got!

East of Wasilla, this isn't a true business route, but the cool sign (posted by Alaska DOT, so it's "official") makes me wish it were.

Georgia also likes to put "BUSINESS" inside the shield. We also like to abbreviate it. Sometimes we'll do both at the same time, as with this example in Buchanan:



We're also one of those states with business state routes. Sometimes we even prefer to use them instead of business US routes. The old route of US 278/GA 6 through Dallas, for instance, is only GA 6 Business, not both:



And, finally, in North Carolina, here's a BL I-85 shield that's missing the "LOOP":

Flemingsburg used to be full of these business route signs.









Kentucky uses a "nnX" designation internally on its business routes. Most times, they get signed with the "Business" banner. Other times, someone reads the route designations and takes them literally when they're making signs.
