Select OR 58. Dough 48 72 18:12, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Bikers using the Salt Creek Tunnel along Oregon Route 58 activate a signal to let drivers be aware of their presence in the tunnel.

If this picture looks familiar, it's actually a holdover from 2007. It was nominated twice then and didn't achieve consensus. I still like the photo, so I thought I would try it again now. –Fredddie ™ 03:55, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Support - Interesting and scenic picture. Dough 48 72 00:17, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Select I-40 in OK. Dough 48 72 00:20, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Rolled over nominations

A new segment of Interstate 40 in Oklahoma immediately prior to opening. The eastbound lanes were opened to traffic on January 5.

Don't you just love that new road smell... Alternately could link to Oklahoma City Crosstown Expressway. —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 20:33, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Select Mini Stack. Dough 48 72 01:36, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Looking south on the Sam Rayburn Tollway (Texas State Highway 121), with Business Texas State Highway 121-H in the background.

Oppose - Blurry, can see the visor. Dough 48 72 02:19, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Oppose ditto. --Rs chen 7754 02:25, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Oppose per above. Our SAs are supposed to be representative of some of the best photos in our articles. I'm sorry, but this isn't very good in a technical sense for the reasons Dough identified. Imzadi 1979 → 02:33, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

The start of Indiana State Road 26 at the Illinois border near Ambia.

Never had IN before. Nice countryside pic. Dough 48 72 01:14, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Meh, the problem with this pic is the blue milepost visually dominates and disrupts the focus of the image. Dave (talk) 00:20, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Maybe crop the image to remove the milepost. Dough 48 72 03:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Looking north on the Seward Highway (AK-1), with the Kenai Mountains approaching.

Support, but change caption to: Looking north on the Seward Highway portion of Alaska Route 1 as the highway approaches the Kenai Mountains. — V C 20:55, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Looking east at the Mini Stack, an interchange in Phoenix, Arizona between Interstate 10, State Route 51, and State Route 202. — P C B 05:43, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Support. --Rs chen 7754 05:45, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Select US 220. Dough 48 72 23:44, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Eastbound Indiana State Road 45 west of Trevlac in Brown County.

Never had IN before. Dough 48 72 16:04, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

This isn't particularly inspiring though. Surely we have something a bit better? Imzadi 1979 → 17:12, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

U.S. Route 220 in Lamar Township, Pennsylvania approaching Interstate 80.

Select I-5. Dough 48 72 00:59, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

The first assurance shield on New Mexico State Road 456 just west of the Oklahoma state line.

The only other New Mexico picture ever used was in December, and it didn't actually have anything to do with roads, other than being in an interchange. —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 12:19, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Meh, not my first choice. The focus of the photo is a leaning "Do not Litter" sign. I'm ok with this; just hard to believe this is the best photo we've got that hasn't been featured. Dave (talk) 15:54, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Interstate 5 in Portland, Oregon.

Nice nighttime city picture. Dough 48 72 00:36, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Out of the two choices, I prefer this one. V C 21:29, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
