How well do you know highways?

If I had to guess, that's somewhere in the Sierra Nevadas. But all the roads I know of are two lanes, except for I-80, which I've traveled enough times to know that it's not that.

I'll say California, possibly, it's US 50.

I drive for a living and even I can't make out some of these. I've driven over 700,000 (rough guess) after awhile all roads begin to look alike. It's a bit hard to figure unless you live, been, or studied that "place" of the highways to be guessed. If there were speed limit signs, or other road signs, or even cars this would help. I know it's part of the game, but it's more guess work than detective work. My guess is USA, then Colorado, I-70 or I-80. But there are many other state in these region it could easily be.

Hmm... it looks so much like BC but yet I know it couldn't be... nevertheless, I'm guessing the Okanagan Connector (BC Route 97C) in British Columbia, Canada

Are you trying to indicating it's Canada. If so Never drove through there, so I wouldn't have a clue. I so want to play!

British Columbia, Canada is correct!  (It was the new segment of the TCH 1 Pilotdaryl)

Um.. You can still play if you haven't driven on the road 3.gif

Anyways, here is the 2nd last image from me:

Don't you worry though, my last one will give you all a run for your money!  The Duke will take over past then!

Oh right -- it was that new bridge they constructed!  I seem to know my highways really well... 4.gif

The famous 5-level interchange in Los Angeles, California, USA

Wild guess, Chicago. It kinda looks like those bridge barriers would do nothing if a car smashed into them. Just a bad thought...

This is an old photo, so it could be Cali, definately not Chicago. I'm going with Texas I-30??

    Uh, guys? Note the lack of yellow paint. That's definitely not in the US.

    So, I'm going to guess Germany.

    Since when does my name have a "the" in front of it?

    (cookie if you can tell me what I'm quoting)


    If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.
    If you can read this, you deserve a cookie.

    I am going to guess Denver, Colorado USA. Duke, the lack of yellow paintdoes not mean anything as the sun light is facing us, so the yellow paint is real hard to see.

    Now, I know why you have "The" in front of your name. It is refering to Duke Ellington (musician) and he was known as The Duke. Now give me my cookie or I will send my dog Duke after you. JKB

    Texas, U.S.A is correct!

    Duke87: I said The Duke because I was referring you.  I rather say The Duke rather than Duke.

    Anyways here is my last photo before The Duke (Duke87) takes over:

    This ought to twist your mind.  Good luck!

    Wow, I really thought that was LA. What a lucky guess...

    I mean... I'm so smart. I knew that the whole time...

    Now I feel special. Let's go with New Mexico.

    I'm going to compliment that by saying old Mexico. Or Mexico classic. Whichever you prefer.1.gif

    The cookie offer was not for an explanation of why the "the" is there, it was for naming the source of the the line I used:

    . No cookie unless you can tell me what that line is from.

    Aww... and I was almost correct!

    I think this highway is somewhere in desert Australia.

    EDIT: Darnit!  Didn't notice the right-hand-drive... this guess is void 3.gif

    So was I right, was it I-30 and this was and old pic right?

    My guess for this new one, somewhere South America. That's all I could come up with.

    Hint #1: Not North America.

    By the way, guesses like South America and Antarctica are void. Its like saying that highway's from Europe, but there are a ton of countries in Europe.

    Umm.. No its not.  Guessing two countries voids your answer completely.  Please guess again with 1 country, or state/province/territory/region!
