I have a couple of "N" signs queued up.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

Let's see what 1995hoo has in his N_____ queue.

Norwood Ln. => Devonshire Garden Court (Falls Church VA):

1995hoo

Devonshire Garden Court to either Norham Drive or Norham Drive (Kingstowne, Virginia). The street makes a one-way loop. I had looked at a house down there and the one-way loop was a major turn-off to me, would have gotten very tiresome since the house was about halfway around.

This one is pedestrian-only (like Creek St. at the other end), and narrow, but is signed like a street with conventional street blades at both ends. It once was used to sneak into the Creek St. former red-light district without being noticed.

If this play is disallowed for MMT not qualifying as a "street", I can sub in an M_____s Blvd. So people can play from this sign, without having to rewind this thread.

Norham Dr. => Married Man's Trail (Ketchikan AK):

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

7/8

Married Man's Trail to St. George Street (in Mitchell, ON)


1995hoo

St. George Street ---> Electronic Drive (obscure location in Springfield, Virginia) gives someone a chance to play a "C."

Crappy picture, but it's an industrial area and I couldn't easily pull over. Farrington Highway ---> Newington Road (or Cinder Bed Road) in Newington, Virginia, near the one-lane underpass.

Hey, I thought of something. Rules clarification: The rules say you can't play the same street twice. How does it work if you play one name on a sign assembly and then someone uses the "N Rule" or "Y Rule" to play a different name? Are both streets then deemed "used," or can you play one of them again? If so, which one?

(So using my prior post as an example, suppose Oscar were to play a "D" next. Does that disqualify Cinder Bed Road from being played again later? I have a different "C" available, but I can think of other signs I've used previously. I would think Newington Road should be out since I used it to post that photo.)

I PM'ed jbnv about this, actually, and he told me that only the original name played counts. So yes, Cinder Bed Rd can be played again later.
