Maybe it's time to start a game, similar to guess the city ones.

There are some rules though. The one that guesses the picture first, is allowed to post the next one. When there is no response in say, 24 hours, anyone can submit a new one. No new ones should be submitted unless the previous one is guessed correctly within 24 hrs.

Some other rules:
> Hints are allowed
> The pic must have something recognizeable, no rural highways that could be anywhere, unless they feature something special.
> All kinds of pics are allowed, Googled, selfmade, Google Earth, Live Earth etc.
> Don't make it too hard to guess
> No Struma
> The North must be on the upper side of the picture.
> Remember people are from all parts over the world, so again, keep it recognizeable.

I'll start with the first one.

http://i26.************/292s5dw.jpg

I'll make this thread sticky. If it doesn't work out, i'll remove it.

The New Jersey Turnpike!

That is correct. I guess you can also tell the near exact location? :)

Near Newark or Elizbeth. it looks like where the car & truck lanes end and split.

Yup, the next one is up to you :)

Haha, I just wanted to propose this game to make it more interesting. :D Anyway, next, please. :)

can we continue please?

^ As soon as Nexis logs in. :D Or at most 24 hours.

Just easy

http://i25.************/9a751h.jpg

The same highway a bit on

http://i29.************/2m2cc34.jpg

Italian A8 just northwest of Milano.

I'll pass my turn on to the next one :)

^^
Ok... that's easy too (how many hints in this pic!)

http://i28.************/2gt7nnr.jpg

Someone doesn't follow the rules. :D

Berlin A100, isn't it? I think I know the power plant.

EDIT: Oh and the S-Bahn of course! :D

Someone doesn't follow the rules. :D
I'm an Italian driver :D


--------
Berlin A100 interchanging with A104 (and obviously the S-bahn running close was the main hint)

Okay, next! :D

i´ll try:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2328/1564131269_6dd5b976e5.jpg

a lot of hints on the pic

Chile, but I guess that won't be enough. :D

Chile indeed, but you are right, it isn´t enough :D

Vespucio Sur?

nop. much easier, i guess that it´s probably one of America´s most famous highways! At least by its name, not by its number though.

Then i would guess Pan Americana

Then i would guess Pan Americana

that´s right Chrisz´ it´s the Pan Americana, also know in this part as Ruta 5 (Route 5).

next!:banana:

Someone else can post a new one, since i am at work. Except Skylandman, we must keep some diversity ;)

Ok, try to guess this one:

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee119/Verso1/Paris.jpg

:cheers:

Trieste

7 minutes... crap. :D Yes, it's the beginning/end of the Trieste bypass by the port. :)

Yep, the small dock at the bottom did it :)

But i'm still at work :D so someone else please post one, except Verso to keep some diversity ;)

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z244/ptalas/junction.jpg

My guess would be Birmingham, but i haven't checked.

My guess would be Birmingham, but i haven't checked.

Correct, M6 x Ashton Expressway junction...

Okay, i'll post the next one then :)

http://i28.************/spvqjd.jpg

^^ It's the US of A! :D

Not close enough :D ;)

I can't believe this, I thought it was LA, but I wasn't going to say anything. It's Ocean Boulevard at the ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach.

Yep, very good, but not too hard for someone from that region ;)

Now I'm not good with picture editing, so here's a link to the picture instead.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/phattonez/untitled.jpg

Dude you need to cut the photo piece out of the whole printscreen :D It's very easy, even with paint :D

Sacramento, CA

Interstate 5 is visible.

Where's this coastal freeway?

http://i29.************/6td8cl.jpg

Dude you need to cut the photo piece out of the whole printscreen :D It's very easy, even with paint :D

How do you cut out the top part and the left? I can get the right and the bottom.

And it's a desert, so here's a wild guess, Dubai?

Hmm, the coast is to the north of Dubai, so it couldn't be it unless Chris flipped the picture to confuse us. ;)

West coast of Mexico?

You are both wrong :) It's actually near a very large city.

is it Pacific Coast Highway?

^^ Nope, you are also on the wrong continent :D

Near Nouakchott, Mauritania?

^^ Nope, you are also on the wrong continent :D

You mean, it's not on American Contitnent? :)

I guess it should by somewhere in Middle East, looks like a typical arabian coastal location. But the orientation (north) confuses me, i can not fit it anywher :nuts:

hint: the city shown is a capital city in the southern hemisphere.

You mean, it's not on American Contitnent?

I don't want to say too much about it, but it depends on definition :D

Lima :hammer:

Well, I thought it was easy for you :cheers: Definitely

^ Yes, but it's hard to be sure. This (http://www.ktl.elf.stuba.sk/~vrabel/cykloexpedicie/rak2006/) helped a little though. :D

^ Yes, but it's hard to be sure. This (http://www.ktl.elf.stuba.sk/~vrabel/cykloexpedicie/rak2006/) helped a little though. :D

Oh man! Hmmmm that's the problem of deeplinking :bash: :colgate: I should have used some kind of image sharing server :)

this must me US - Mexican border

Laredo, Texas :)

Maybe it's hard, but what is the approximate location of this picture?

http://i26.************/15gp7io.jpg

The country shouldn't be that hard to guess ;)

The country shouldn't be that hard to guess ;)

Well the signage is french... it's autoroute and it carries also one E-road ;)

is it Normandie?

I need atleast a road number here :)

A84?

btw, i'm not sure that it's A road, SOS lane is kinda narrow, but i see red road number, so it could be anyway

A84 is unfortunatly not correct.

if it is Normandie and if it is A road, then it can only be A13 (if not A84)

Laredo, Texas :)

Which road? :)

if it is Normandie and if it is A road, then it can only be A13 (if not A84)

well, it's not the A13 so.... ;) Though you are not very far away.

Which road? :)

It's the western bypass to Monterrey. I don't know the number, but it's the Bob Bullock Loop according to Google Earth. There is also a bypass more to the west, to the Mexican state of Nuevo León.

^ Good, good. :)

N13? :D

Nope, N13 is incorrect. It's an Autoroute.

Wha´ts this fucking bullshit, no Struma, isn´t Struma a highway or what?

what is the matter of that posting, radi? what do yo want to express?

by the way, my guess is A29, but i am not sure, hm but i guess that the destination in the middle of the blue sign is Le Havre

A29 is not good. Though you guys are in the right region of France.

then A131. I miss Rouen on the blue sign for being the A28.

Nope no A131.

Hint: Bordeaux is signed.

damn :D

ok, last try: A28 to Le Mans (actually I don't really believe that ;))

then A131. I miss Rouen on the blue sign for being the A28.

Maybe it is the brand new A28 / E402 heading Le Mans, which could be the 2nd destination from the top...

EDIT: oops, Patrick, you were a bit faster...

it is indeed the A28 just south of Rouen. I drove there a few months after it was opened. Bordeaux is still some 600km away.

ok, here we go :)

Spain?

That tall brige in de German A61? don't know its name

That tall brige in de German A61? don't know its name

the country is right, but not the number

the bridge you meant is the Moseltalbrücke :)

A45 Siegtalbrücke :) - Sieg :banana:

of course ;) your turn now :applause:

Damn, too late;)

OK, so my turn - it has to do a bit with history, though I think for H&A readers it's easy :)

D1, Czech republic? I posted to that thread, but now I can't find it.

Edit: I posted first, but I don't want to post for the next round, so I defer to x-type.

It´s indeed the Czech rep. but i´m not sure about the road number.

D1, Želivka bridge :)

D1, Želivka bridge :)

Yes, it is bridge over Želivka basin near Píšť on D1 Prague - Brno. There are two decks, lower one built in 1940's and upper one built in 1970's. The lower one was never used for motorway traffic, today it is used for local traffic in half-profile. English info: here (http://www.dalnice.com/english/gal_pist.htm), gallery here (http://www.dalnice.com/fotogal/d01/pist_most/pist_most.htm).

x-type - it's your turn, as Tom stated ;)

easy one

Croatia, A1 ! :) That's my guess

Beautiful landscape. :cheers: Can't wait to go back.

ok, who is next? wyqtor?

Wyqtor, yes. But it's been a while, maybe someone else can post one.

OK, now this shouldn't be hard...

http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/1814/img0308sg8.jpg

Somewhere in Italy. Perhaps A12 near Genova?

You are right about "near Genova", but it's not the A12. ;)

Then it's A10. :D

Correct! It's the A10 after exit Voltri, just before the interchange with the A26!

It was a piece of cake. :colgate:

Well, post another one then ;)

This odd curve should be easy:

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee119/Verso1/guess.jpg

You have searched for Rouen. What should i think of that? :D

Well, i'm off to home now, some traffic jams and dinner, have no time to search right now ;)

You have searched for Rouen. What should i think of that? :D

I just wanted to get it ASAP, France is big. :colgate:

isn't it a topic "guess motorway (or expressway)", not street? this one seems to be a street

^ It's guess the highway (main road), and this road is important, and I think it's interesting that a 4- or even 6-lane road like this has such a sharp curve (90°).

This odd curve should be easy:

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee119/Verso1/guess.jpg
OMG SimCity?

^ It's guess the highway (main road), and this road is important, and I think it's interesting that a 4- or even 6-lane road like this has such a sharp curve (90°).

well, that's for sure.

(my weakness is talking, if you haven't noticed :D )

I didn't think it would be such a problem, especially to you, x-type. ;) I'm not sure, should I start with hints now or when Chris comes back? :D

Ok, here's a hint: it's the European route E75.

Ok, here's a hint: it's the European route E75.

Well, this was a big hint ;)

Serbia, NW of Beograd on route 22...

omg, i had no idea about this! :eek:

Well, this was a big hint ;)

Serbia, NW of Beograd on route 22...

Exactly, and it's your turn. ;)

Well, so what about this place? (I've been already there, so it's not only random place ;) )
http://mapspace.ma.ohost.de/storage/shot02.jpg

China?

Dubai

Dubai Int'l Airport is in the background.

Nope Verso ;)...

Chris is right... He is on...

Too much greenery. :nuts:

New one. Country or region shouldn't be too hard to guess. But i'll need a better answer than the country alone :D

http://i26.************/2mzyxkx.jpg

^^ What do the signs say? :D

it is Latin Ameria 100%, i'd say Mexico. but it's not enough

omg, it's not, it's China :D

Pretty hard this one, the motorway doesn't look new. Anywhere in Shanghai or Bejing maybe?

Nope

Chris, are you telling us there's any famous building among these commies? :lol:

Hint: It's a multi-million city. (Though there are lots of them in Asia :D )

What about HongKong - freeway green signs, arrows, mood...

Hong Kong is not correct. It is not a coastal city.

China has more than 25 multi-million cities:nuts:

If you had a close up of one of the license plates it would be alot easier:)

What about HongKong - freeway green signs, arrows, mood...They drive on the left in HK.



Is it Harbin?

Harbin is not correct.

This was the question:
http://i26.************/2mzyxkx.jpg
(because of the page switch).

Chongqing?

They drive on the left in HK.


:bash: grrrr :bash: definitely ...

Next guess - Nanjing?

Nanjing? The spire visible in this photo looks alot like the one visible on Chris' photo.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/05/Nanjing_skyline.jpg

Nope :D

You guys are just taking a shot, it's like playing darts ;)

Another hint: The city name has an somewhat unusual spelling.

Ürümqi?

Ürümqi?

Woooohooooo :) :lol: :cheers: :banana:

It's one of the cities that is the farthest away from any ocean.

Woohoo!:)

New one:

http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/3540/gthyh4.jpg

you should post closer image, this doesn't say anything (except a bit unusual shape of intersection), but too hard

Well, then we should try to get closer... It's Europe?

Yeah, how the hell should I know where this is, and how the hell should I know that was Ürümqi, damn it. :D

It's european, but not Europe:)

Noumea, New Caledonia, France, Pacific Ocean :)

Noumea, New Caledonia, France, Pacific Ocean :)

Carrefour EXIT :D

Where's this desolate highway?

http://i32.************/2qknijb.jpg

Exact location is not required, but i want at least the road number and administrative division. I'm off to bed now, i'll see it tomorrow.

Looks like Iceland... is it somewhere around Reykjavik?

khm, this looks like Andes, but eastern side. Argentina?

You are both wrong

i repost this image because of the page switch.
http://i32.************/2qknijb.jpg

Norway?

Alaska? It also has a few freeways...

Nope: Hint: Country is guessed correctly.

I-5 in Washington? :dizzy:

Nope, but you guys are getting (a little bit) closer.

Canada?

No it's a US road.

Hint: It's an Interstate Highway.

I70?

Interstate 70 is not correct. We are also need the name of the state.

Can we continue with some other highway? :rofl:

Ok, my guesses:
roads: I-90, 84, 15, 25
states: Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming

Any? :)

Okay, maybe this one was a little bit too hard.

It's the Interstate 90 in Wyoming, just north of Sheridan. You are looking at the Bighorn Mountains which are over 4000 meters high.

ok, let's say that Verso got it. Naprej Slovenec!

Okay, maybe this one was a little bit too hard.

It's the Interstate 90 in Wyoming, just north of Sheridan. You are looking at the Bighorn Mountains which are over 4000 meters high.

You're kidding me! Maybe without clouds we'd see their height. :lol:

So it's my turn, b/c I've guessed it. :angel:

I think every road and railway geek should know this one. Actually it's a broken road :laugh: so the bridge is in fact railway, but you can continue on road after that. At least I think so. :laugh:

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee119/Verso1/slikca.jpg

That looks like I-15 in northern Montana.

Oops, the answer was already revealed...

:nuts:

Mike

Come on, boys and girls, be brave! :colgate:

I hape no idea. Maybe somewhere in southern Africa?

^ No. A hint: it's an international border (but I erased it from the picture :P).

Is it the Senegal river?

No, it's not in Africa. It's the only land border crossing between the countries. So the picture again:

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee119/Verso1/slikca.jpg

The Russian - North Korean border :D

I first though it would be North Korea and China or South Korea, but Russia also borders North Korea.

Bravo! :D Isn't it interesting? =)

Maybe a harder one:

http://i32.************/vgm0kg.jpg

South Korea... my guess ;) Or at least Asia...

i would say Abidjan ar Lagos or somewhere in that direction

I think this is it, in Seoul:

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=37.53345,126.945047&spn=0.009393,0.018883&t=h&z=15&om=0

Don't know the number, though, and I'm too lazy too look it up. :ohno:

^ Good job, thank gods I didn't go guessing, I was quite positive it would be China, cause I'd forgotten they'd also driven on the right in S. Korea.

Seoul is correct. Good job.

They have entire interchanges above the river Han.

Though i can´t find a good system in the expressways of Seoul.

Ha ! South Korea, at least that was good ;)

I looked via Google Earth in some rather stupid places (Barcelona?), but then I remembered the God-enormous riverfront freeways of Seoul (thanks, MateoW!) and found it quite quickly.

OK, I guess it's my turn. I don't remember precisely where this is, but I'll look it up (edit-- now I've got a Google Map link and a guess at a route number):
http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2046/2trianglesyt4.jpg

Hey, thanks, everyone-- this is a good game. :)

Northern hemisphere? :D

Hmm the road markings are quite long, not very usual in Europe, though the road markings looks European. It looks a bit Spanish though.

Some triangles...

I'm sure I saw those triangles in some thread in this section

Maybe Croatia?

it's not Croatia. Poland sometimes has strange pylons, but this looks like Calatrava ;) so might be Spain

^^
I don't know: I remember it in some Eastern Europe motorway thread

Romania? Bulgaria?

Japan?

Whoa, maybe this one's too hard. Two clues:

The northeastern leg very shortly becomes one of the most famous boulevards in the world, and

None of the guesses so far are even close.

Clue three will be the answer to Verso's question. :)

The triangles are what caught my eye. I spotted them GoogleEarth-surfing and saved a picture. It's not inconceivable that there's a ground-level photo in a thread here, though I've not seen it if there is. Perhaps I should look...

Paris (F) suburbs?

Mike

Yeah, i think we need a hint here :)

Yeah, i think we need a hint here :)

Yes, I believe so. It's in the northern hemisphere-- and the western.

Mexico?

Mexico?

(sigh) Yes, it's in Mexico. It amazes me that people thought of Spain but not Latin America.

Anyway, between that and the first clue-- "The northeastern leg very shortly becomes one of the most famous boulevards in the world"-- someone really should get it soon.

This is how it looks from the ground :D

http://static2.bareka.com/photos/medium/4624693/puente-puerta-santa.jpg

Cool-- way to go, Chris! Did you find the pic on this site?

Nope, on Google Earth :)

Maybe it wasn't clear, but the city was Ciudad de Mexico (Mexico City if you will). Autopista Constituyentes La Venta.

Maybe this is an easy one:

http://i28.************/2wggn12.jpg

Milau?

Nope, not Millau.

is this Spain?

Maybe A13 in Switzerland near San Bernardino?

is this Spain?

Maybe A13 in Switzerland near San Bernardino?

Nope. Hint: this motorway-grade road is well over 2000 meters altitude.

Is this 3+2 lanes? Which continent? :D

Nope. Hint: this motorway-grade road is well over 2000 meters altitude.

Then not Netherlands I suppose :D

Nope. Hint: this motorway-grade road is well over 2000 meters altitude.

that is obvious, that's why i said Spain. i'll think further

If it is over 2000m....

Maybe I-70 in Colorado?

Or MEX190D in Mexico?

Maybe this is an easy one:

http://i28.************/2wggn12.jpg

No.. not again Mexico

The Highway is Autopista 95D Mexico-Cuernavaca
Climbing to Ciudad de Mexico there is this branch named la pera (the pear)

I love Google :D

This freeway is really steep, it has to climb over 1500 meters in a relatively short distance. The freeway tops out over 3000 meters altitude.

My turn now....

Easyeasyeasy

http://i30.************/1zecw0i.jpg

You can almost read the sign :D

:nuts:attiki odos i think.

Oh, I'll piss off. :D I was certain it was Italy (plus GENIUS LOCI is an Italian), and I've searched all of it, but now when I look at the signs better, I see they are Greek!

:nuts:attiki odos i think.

I said it was easy

^ Where exactly? I can't find it.

Oh, I'll piss off. :D I was certain it was Italy (plus GENIUS LOCI is an Italian), and I've searched all of it, but now when I look at the signs better, I see they are Greek!

Not so many motorways have a railway line in the median. :)

I didn't even notice the railway. I just went immediately searching for it in Italy. :D I know it has it though.

Ok, here's the next one. Excuse me if something is wrong, it's my second post. However, it shouldn't be too hard for someone from that region.

Northern America?

Yes indeed. And i'll give you one more hint: it's located near a big city.

I don't know why it makes me think of Atlanta

unfortunately it's not atlanta. but you guessed, it's located in the eastern part of USA

Boston?

3 looks like Essen, and 4 like Copenhagen or Malmö.

#3 won't be Essen. It's way much smaller there than as shown on this picture.

Hmm treelined roads somewhere along the eastern seaboard. That reminds me of New York Parkways, though i haven't find it yet, assuming that the north is up (i am adding this to the rules, when the north isn't up, it's too hard to find).

Not totally sure, but I want to say I-95/MA 128 in the Boston, MA area. It is a very generic image, though.

Mike

Interstate 78 west of Newark, and North of Somerset?

No.. not again Mexico

The Highway is Autopista 95D Mexico-Cuernavaca
Climbing to Ciudad de Mexico there is this branch named la pera (the pear)

Way late, but...

I frickin' knew it as soon as I saw it this morning. :lol:

3 looks like Essen, and 4 like Copenhagen or Malmö.
Wooo... and I said it was though

#4 is Malmö, the way running to the Øresund Bridge, which is a motorway/railway bridge

#3 is not Essen, but good guess

Obvious hints:
#2 and #3 are in Europe
#1 and the bonus pic are in NA

Interstate 78 west of Newark, and North of Somerset?

yes, you're right. congratulations!

I have not the ability to post another one, so someone else can go.

i'll do it if you agree :D (i hope you do)

Spanish A4 Desfiladero :)

Spanish A4 Desfiladero :)

ok, i expected somebody to say Italian A6 before you say the correct answer :D and you've ruined it:D

Actually, it's known as Despeñaperros (translated would be something like 'where dogs plunge into the void').

The complete name of the place is Desfiladero de Despeñaperros, but 'desfiladero' only means 'narrow pass'.

It's for sure one of the most famous (and worst) motorway streches in Spain.
