I just updated my previously unused roadtrip Flickr page with photos from a road trip to Stuart, Virginia.
What is up with this here photo?  Does VDOT think that we are stupid or something.

Virginia 360 is a former route of US 360 that really should have been renumbered something else.  The extra placards were added to reduce confusion.

roadman65

I think the confusion lies within what was VDOT thinking when they rendered that one. 

Then again we have that in Florida with FL 17 and US 17 intersecting in Haines City, but FDOT does not place those cards on them to show which is which. 

Also remember when FL 997 was FL 27 branching off US 27 at the Broward/ Dade County Line.  FDOT made the change when motorists indeed were getting confused. so FDOT created FL 997 instead.

I think nowadays people are not aware of the surroundings and what is happening in their own backyard unless its to build an actual roadway.  Most people I find do not even know where Winter Park or Winter Garden is anymore who reside here in Greater Orlando.  Most people do not even know that Kirkman Road is SR 435 even.  Only Semoran Boulevard is called by its number as well as people knowing that SR 50 and Colonial Drive are synonymous.   Other than that the arterials in Orlando are known by name rather than numbers.   Oops, I forgot OBT is Four Forty One in most minds, heck with the US 17 & 92 shield standing out more than the US 441 shield on assemblies.

Enjoyed those pictures, Will, especially since I was on some of those routes back in the spring when I went to Hampton Roads and the Delmarva Peninsula. I got some of the same photos, too, including the "Interstate 58" restaurant sign.

Thanks. That was my first time down in that area. My job is about to involve some travel so I might see how I can incorporate roadgeeking into it. Maybe I'll have to bring a compact camera along. :)

Yeah will thanks for you posting.  I enjoyed that area of VA so much being I probably will not get there in this life, as I do have other roads I need to clinch first.

Just now saw this thread.  When VDOT applied to AASHTO to move US 360 they wanted to leave behind US 360 ALT.  This was denied by AASHTO.  Not sure why it isn't VA 360 ALT.  The "US" and "STATE" banners have been up for only a few years.  Most of the time up to then VA 360 was not posted from US 360 WB at the VA 344-360 intersection.

This might be a little bit off-topic for this thread, but does anyone know if there is a script available or other automated way to download a bunch of pictures from a Flickr album? Doing the "right-click/save image as..." dance for several dozen pictures is going to get very old after awhile, and I've been tasked with trying to download a bunch of pictures from a Flickr page.


UPDATE: I found a plugin for Chrome that does the trick nicely.

Finally got my photos from my trip to the Alabama meet in October up on my Flickr site:

Also, the photos I shot in Kentucky this year are up on their own page.

At some point I will update the Millennium Highway roadtrips page with these links as well as the links to the EveryTrail GPS tracks.

Ohio (and a ton of other states, I'm sure) took care of that problem LOOOOONG ago.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/54480415@N08/sets/72157634118701383 I just added some more photos of Alabama to my flickr.  I even have the US 90 and US 31 intersection signage including an END assembly where US 31 finally comes to rest after its long 5 state journey.  I also have two diagramical signs for I-65 in Mobile along I-10 Westbound as well as some other signs in Baldwin County to the East of the Mobile Bay.

What the fuck happened here???

Many of the town's signs seem to be in this font (looks like Franklin Gothic): http://goo.gl/maps/GGD8F

A pretty rotten sine salad that should be posted in worst, in my opinion.

roadman65

Some of the people actually like this assembly and some hate it.  It is one of those things that can go either way like modern art.   I had someone over a gribblenation.com say it was cool and then Alps  once said "its an abomination."

Incidentally, most of Cullman, AL uses this font I was told.

My Flickr page features tons of roads, mostly shot from overpasses and sidewalks, and even more transit pictures. 3,000 and counting!

Nice pics and sweet finds! I'm actually pretty shocked there are quite a bit of original guide signs still remaining on the eastern side of Pennsylvania.

Oh yes there were more but time wasn't on my side.  they are reflective though but still nice to see.  Still button copy in Lancaster on I-78 but I didn't get those.  Hope to next time. Thanks!

My lord, that I-95 South sign at the end of I-280 in Kearny is... beautiful... I've never seen an Interstate shield that faded before.
