Five Hundred -> Delaware (Beaumont, TX) (sign is behind the yellow sign on the US 69 exit)


US 69-96-287 North Exit by Jay Bienvenu, on Flickr



From the rules in the opening post:
Quote4. The entire name of the street being played must be visible and legible on the sign for it to be playable, either directly or by way of any other rule.

I can't see the whole name behind that "BE PREPARED TO STOP" sign.
https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=19788.1275

That rule is my fault...it wasn't an original rule

I played off jbnv's post (thread reply #1277) of Ryan St on a BGS, and via N-rule, played Enterprise Ave, despite only "e Ave"  being visible. My thought was the Final letter is what would be played on anyway, so I continued with Eden Park Dr in reply #1278

jbnv allowed the play in reply #1281, but then further detailed the rule that Plays must be fully visible, whether Direct plays or Special Letter Rule

Every time I look at the city name thread, it's an E.  Every time I look at this thread, it's an R.  Just wtf.  It's nobody's fault but come on, universe.  Anyway, here's a picture on a trapezoidal blade that definitely doesn't meet MUTCD standards.

Dartmoor >> River Park

Lots of ___n place names in the city name thread, though as it happens I haven't yet run out of the N___ place photos I gathered on my quickie Quebec trip in October.

I'm running into more ____r street names than I prefer. But as the below sign illustrates, there are a lot of them out there (even though in this instance I'm not playing one).

Since 17th Street was used instead of School, School is still in play and 17th is not.

Wow, that is way too much work to keep track of, but okay. I already thought keeping a spreadsheet for this thread was too much, but now additional layers have been added.

Yeah, agreed, the restriction on not-duplicating street names is difficult to enforce for a game that is now 81 pages deep.  Particularly when more than one contributor might play a street from the same area.

Edit: added url for larger picture: https://www.aaroads.com/west/oregon005/thb/i-005_sb_exit_292_01.jpg and raised the amount of pixels, resolution sucks though.

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
