If you're going to pluck stuff off the AARoads photo galleries (I've done a lot of that), I suggest right-clicking on the thumbnail of the photo you want to use, then "open link in new tab". That calls up a larger version that meets forum guidelines and is better to use here.  Like, for example, https://www.aaroads.com/west/oregon005/i-005_sb_exit_292_01.jpg

Anyway, Carman Dr. => Norfolk Ave. (Bethesda MD):



I've been posting here for a week. Did not know that so thanks for the advice.
ODOT, raise the speed limit and fix our traffic problems.

You're welcome. Also, you can and should edit out the part of the quoted material you're not replying to, which in this case is everything except the first paragraph of my post.

Kirkwall –> Logan

Flag on this one. The Logan Blvd sign is in someone's home, not posted on a road.

Also, the OP's Rule 10 limits us to signs officially posted by the relevant jurisdiction. We have no way of knowing that this is or was an officially posted sign, let alone which jurisdiction. The lack of visible mounting holes, or other mounting marks, suggests it was never posted anywhere.

Instead, Kirkwall Rd. => South Lang Street (Arlington VA):

I'm going to call a flag on this entire thread after Hall Shop Road since my Parmer Drive play seems to have been missed entirely. ;-)

So it has, but...

2. Challenge rule: Any play may be challenged as long as no more than five plays have been made after it. After five plays, a play stands and cannot be challenged.

There have been nine plays since then. I guess we can say that Parmer is available for re-use, though.

S Lang St -> Glenridge Dr (Sandy Springs, GA; I played Glenridge Connector previously)

Glenridge Drive to Eleventh Avenue South (in Grand Forks, ND)

That was my fault... sorry about that.  I think I just figured that the ruling that was made after your post was on the last played sign name, and didn't look closely enough.

Upheld. Streets must be tied to a jurisdiction (this is how we allow different streets with the same name to be played) and sign must actually be posted in its jurisdictions.

Saw Mill River Pkwy => Rosamora Court or Ridgeview Circle (McLean VA) -- Ridgeview Cir. is unrelated to the Ridge View I played from the other side of the DC metro area, but it connects to Ridgeview Rd. which I played from adjacent Arlington:
