Innisfil Beach Rd. => Hobron Ave. (Kahului HI)

my Hot Springs and Highways pages, with links to my roads sites:
http://www.alaskaroads.com/home.html


MNHighwayMan

Hobron Avenue → Northwood Road, on what has to be one of the oldest surviving street blades in Des Moines


oscar

#327
Northwood Rd. => Dairy Rd. (Kahului HI), and per Y rule, also the barely-legible Puunene Ave., twice in a row on non-Hawaiian street names in Hawaii (no D, R, or B in the Hawaiian alphabet):

my Hot Springs and Highways pages, with links to my roads sites:

MNHighwayMan

Dairy Road → Yankee Avenue, on the north edge of the city of Auburn, Iowa


oscar

I'm now down to one E_____ (a useless E____e), until I can restock.

Yankee Ave. => Espana Ct. (Fairfax VA)

my Hot Springs and Highways pages, with links to my roads sites:
http://www.alaskaroads.com/home.html

MNHighwayMan

#330
Espana Court → Allen Street, at an intersection that no longer exists due to the construction of E MLK Jr Parkway through the east side of Des Moines (these signs and the pole itself were removed not long after this picture was taken; it was some extremely good luck on my part that I got this picture before then)


oscar

Allen St. = Noble St. (Fairbanks AK):


my Hot Springs and Highways pages, with links to my roads sites:

#332
Noble Street → Elder Lane (Des Moines, IA)

Edler Lane => Rabbit Creek Rd. (Anchorage AK):

my Hot Springs and Highways pages, with links to my roads sites:
http://www.alaskaroads.com/home.html

MNHighwayMan

#334
Rabbit Creek Road → Kingman Avenue (Des Moines, IA)



(I finally put together a list of the names I've played; this is number 51. Only three of them aren't from Des Moines.)

oscar

This uses up my last N____ until I can stock. I've picked my county clean of E____s and N____s, so I'll have to go to neighboring jurisdictions with probably less alphabetical street grids. OTOH, I have a serious surplus of K____s (K is a favorite starting letter for Hawaiian streets/roads and communities), and also a lot of H___ and M_____ names.

Kingman Ave. => South Nash Street (Arlington VA):

my Hot Springs and Highways pages, with links to my roads sites:

Eth

S Nash St -> Hollowell "okay, I've finally stopped calling it Bankhead Hwy" Pkwy (Atlanta)



(Rules question: technically its full name is Donald Lee Hollowell Pkwy, but that's not what's on the sign here. Does it still count?)

FWIW, the same Nutley St. was already played by me, though in a different place and with a different photo (which included a non-___y name as an out). I'm unsure whether the OP would think this consistent with Rule 12.

This differs from a recently-played Elm St. in Des Moines, some time after I played a South Elm St. in Arlington.

I had assumed it was like the city name thread where a different sign was OK, but indeed you are right about the rules. Shame on me for not reading them closely enough.
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

Doesn't help, doesn't hurt, except to use up my last E____ for now.

Ch. Rock Lake Rd. => Eskridge Rd. (Merrifield VA):

my Hot Springs and Highways pages, with links to my roads sites:

You'll never guess what I come up with for another N...

DeArmoun Rd -> Northlake Pkwy (Tucker, GA)

my Hot Springs and Highways pages, with links to my roads sites:

7/8

Evans Court to Scenic Drive (in Kitchener, ON)


oscar

#348
Scenic Dr. => Colebank East Rd. (south of Prince George BC, on BC 97):

EDIT: Online maps show the road as Colebank Rd. East, so I've changed the above to treat East as a directional, and people can play from the K in Colebank instead of the T in East.

my Hot Springs and Highways pages, with links to my roads sites:
http://www.alaskaroads.com/home.html

7/8

Colebank Road East to Koch Road (on I-255 in MO). I really need to find more of my photos from my trip to Branson!
