I made this excel sheet about a year ago, mainly with data from a database I made, and data from Travel Mapping.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zDONaw5E3CaboOakPx9RyJKjLfKo3m5lmQia5EpJ-mY/edit?usp=sharing

The way this works is it basically just tracks the progress I've made with taking pictures of signed routes in certain highway systems over several years. It's very similar to travel mapping, except with sign pictures instead of routes traveled. Additional data pages are also included for state highways as well, and I try to update this as much as possible. Obviously what routes are included on the sheet may be debatable to some, including some auxiliary routes, but sometimes it can be more fun that way lol

I'm still working on making photo albums for each state since I now have a Flickr page, so it's kind of a work-in-progress for now. The only state I've fully completed so far is Arkansas, which I made a thread about when I finished it. I also briefly mentioned this project on that thread too :)

I'll probably be focusing a whole lot on this project in other states next year now that Arkansas is completed. I have no idea what my next finished state will be, or where to focus my attention to future travels for this project. My plan next year is to try and grind Louisiana and Texas as much as I can, although I know it'll likely take years to get even remotely close to completing either state.

That's all for now, I'll add on to the sheet later as I start making photo albums for each state's progress. In the mean time, I have all of my photos uploaded on my Flickr page with photo albums for each trip. https://www.flickr.com/photos/154936453@N06/

It looks like you're targeting each instance of an auxiliary interstates (e.g. all eight I-295's, instead of just any one of them to get the number). Good luck on your quest!
