It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

To build a long bridge between the 2 sections.

Build interstates in Argentina and Israel instead of in America

On another note, is this the first day of the year with 2 questions for one day?

No, because you just duplicated the question you posted yesterday so therefore Scott's is the real one.

They teleport their staff to random accidents and breakdowns, just by singing a famous insurance jingle:

e.g., "Nationwide is on your side!" or "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there!"
Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago, what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!

The Dodgers and the Blue Jays have made the world series. How would you number the roads in LA if it was part of Canada?

Louisiana might do well with a cluster based system similar to Nevada.  It isn't like Canada has much consistency with how provinces number highways to begin with.

PCH-1 becomes TCH-1

Since Toronto is in play, just slap a 4 on every freeway number except 5 = 408; 101= 401; 405 is unchanged

All the freeways will be renamed Rushways, all other Highways will be Carefree, and the shields for all of them will picture a moose drinking a Molson.

Base it entirely off of Quebec's, with interstates becoming Autoroutes. Nice way to show their shared French origins.

FritzOwl has full permissions to view and post in this board. Maybe a mod can answer, has FritzOwl ever viewed a non-fictional board? I know we can see what threads others are viewing.
