Lamar to Roy Rogers

This is not the Oregon Roy Rogers road as there isn't a Bronco road connecting to it although I do not know the location.
ODOT, raise the speed limit and fix our traffic problems.

Lamar to Roy Rogers

Where is this Roy Rogers Rd.? A Roy Rogers Rd. in Oregon has already been played, and if it's the same road it can't be replayed. My guess is that this one is far enough away to be a different road.

You and everyone else should specify (as best you can) the locations of the signs you post.

Another cautionary point -- I spent a lot of time in Oregon this summer, and photographed and posted already the most interesting street signs I came across. In particular, I beat you to the punch on Santium Highway (US 20).  I suggest using the search box before you post (as I often have to do, to make sure I don't double-post my own photos).

I agree that it's a good habit to post the location of photos... however, a quick google search indicates that the most likely location for this image to have been taken is in Yucca, Az.  It jives with the mountains in the background of the photo, and I have to think there aren't too many locations where Bronco Drive intersects with Roy Rogers

It's not just a good idea. The jurisdiction matters because the same road cannot be replayed, but different roads with the same name can be played. There are a bunch of recent plays that have virtually no visual cue as to the jurisdiction. It's not good enough to force us to guess. If you don't mark the jurisdiction, you can easily play the same road over and over again by posting different pictures.

AsphaltPlanet and Hurricane Rex, please go back to your previous posts and add the jurisdictions for the roads you played. Henceforth, if you do not include the jurisdiction on your plays, I will invalidate them immediately.

You're joking right?  All of my photos list where they are.  Hwy 35 in Ontario only intersects Ballyduff Road and Telecom Road once each.

Are you actively trying to be annoying, or did you just fantasize about being a cop when you were a kid?
