I-15 at UT-171.

This challenge just got a whole lot easier.

Continuing UT 171 west, where it becomes 3500 South. Taken from I-215 north:



Some more Utah streets, from northbound UT 154:



And finally, a weight limit sign on UT 111:

[formulanone]

I changed it, only shields over 3,000, so no population signs.

Can't just change the challenge after the fact. This is where being smart and thinking things through before posting becomes important.

It could be he wasn't aware of so many large numbers (routes, weights, street numbers) out there.

Well, at least the thread is flowing again.

Continuing with Utah street numbers (even though I already played three Hawaii route numbers).

11400 South in Murray UT:

Florida 9336.  May 29, 2004.



A chance to go way back to July 25, 1999, for one of my early favorites taken at Burgess, Jct., Wyoming.



And finally to Wolf Creek Pass on the way down US 160 toward Pagosa Springs.  November 15, 2003.

This challenge just got a whole lot easier.

I was originally looking for a street blade for a rural road named after the grid in Iowa or Illinois.  Then I remembered that Utah does that with even their urban streets.  So yep, there's a way to make this whole criterion a lot easier to accomplish lol

January 15, 2019: To celebrate the 10th anniversary of this forum, post pictures of roads that did not exist 10 years ago (to the day). If it's not clear which road is shown in the picture, specify it.

Clarification: New construction (new terrain or major upgrades), not new route designations. Also, a sign directing you to the road in question is not enough.

Lakeview Parkway in Provo, built in 2016. I have no idea why it didn't get a state route number, since UDOT seemed heavily involved in it from the beginning, and it connects the Provo airport to I-15. It's a neat road either way.

US 431 in Anniston, Alabama. Work on this eastern bypass began in 2005, but none of it was open to traffic until 2011 and it wasn't fully complete until 2015. Blurry photo taken on the rainy afternoon of December 9, 2018.

If you were at the Hoosier Heartland meet, you saw both of these!

The new 4-lane IN 25 opened in sections throughout 2012-2013. This shot in Delphi:


The US 231 bypass around the west side of West Lafayette, this shot looking southbound just before crossing the Wabash:

The proportions of that SR-25 sign looked like that of an Illinois state highway sign, and I was confused about what I was looking at at first.

January 16, 2019: The Eighteenth Amendment (Prohibition) was ratified 100 years ago today. Post road signs that prohibited something at the time, but it's allowed now.

"Allowed now" because it got repealed, obviously.

For example, a "no turn on red" sign that has since been removed, or a "one way" sign from a 2010 photo that is a 2-way road now.

No idea, but why would you need to?
