April 14, 2020. Toll road signage.

This may be worth narrowing down a bit–any signs posted on a toll road? signs identifying or directing to a toll road? signs with the word "toll"?

All of the above. If I get specific, the odds of people being able to find a photo of what I specify decrease. And since my goal is simply to see as many road sign photos as possible, I kept this one broad.

I think you ended up with a pretty good batch of responses, even though they all did take a narrower view of the subject than you meant (specifically mentioning the toll road, or monetary amounts, etc.).

But you're right, the intent of the thread is to see a wide variety of content, not to stump ourselves. In that same vein, I'll point out that the thread is by no means limited to signs, nor even to photographs. It's posted in Traffic Control solely to be alongside other existing challenge threads–there's no expectation that the Challenges be restricted to traffic control devices.

Other kinds of pictures we might look for are maps, sign drawings or official highway plans, our own homemade illustrations, LEGO models, ASCII art...whatever! The only restriction really is that it's something on-topic for the forum overall.

This challenge immediately made me think of Iowa Interstates.

Sorry, Iowa, those tiny shields are impossible to read.
