Alright everyone! Welcome to the Interchange edition of How well do you know highways!

First off, it's going to work a bit differently...I'll still do international highways every once in a while, but since I run the AARoads.com forum, most of the images will be taken from there in the United States. The other parts of the game will still work the same though. Here's your first photo:

    Yup. California, on Interstate 15.

    Gotta edit out any and all visible text in the image.

    If you don't, the answer is a simple google search away. 49.gif

    EDIT: Um, are you familiar with the rules here? "California" is as specific as necessary. It's time for the next picture now.

    Virginia, on I-81.

    First of all, there's still text visible on the sign. That's a no-no. Gotta photoshop that out if you're going to use that picture.

    Second of all, it's obvious that you're taking all your pictures from AA Roads, which is an obvious weakness because it allows me to do this and find this through only the second result.

    The only text on the sign is the rest area. There are those all around the country that look the same. How the hell did you do that?

    Alright, let's see you get this one:

    Well, I didn't know for sure, but I had a hunch, that the picture was from AA Roads. So I went to Google, typed in "site:aaroads.com welcome center" and, sure enough, the second result was the I-81 Virginia page and there it was.

    See, this is why you just need to eliminate any and all text. You never know what could give it away.

    And, as I said, you probably should take pictures from other sources, too. It's a vulnerability if everyone knows what site you're pictures are coming from since it makes finding the picture on it's original page a lot easier.

    EDIT: Okay, this isn't my rule, but it's a Simtropolis forum rule: no pictures larger than 800×600. You have to size that down.
