Roadtrippin' Colorado Style

Cool things

Lookie the neat stuff I've found!

Aahhh, the holy grails of roadgeekdom. The random road-related things that roadgeeks love to come across and then brag to his cohorts about. This page is how I brag. :) The pics on this page are at their full size, so this page is optimized for broadband connections. All pictures are taken in Colorado Springs, CO, unless otherwise specified.

I-25 Road shields #1 I-25 Road shields #2

Colorado is now painting interstate shields on the roadways, joining a small but growing list of states that do this. This shot is on Spur-83 (N. Academy Blvd.) approaching I-25, obviously. If you look closely at the top pic, you can still see the markings placed on the asphalt showing where the shields are to go. This is a very recent install. The only other place I know of in the state that has the painted shields is at I-25's exit 184 in Castle Rock. US 85 rejoins the interstate there, and the shields can be seen when traveling EB on 85.

Yield line on road

A shot of what the MUTCD-specified Yield line looks like. This is seen at the I-25 exit to S. Academy Blvd. These are seen at every offramp and onramp at this diamond interchange.

As I find more items, I'll fill the page! Check back often.

Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with any of the orginizations listed within this site. I'm just a bored roadgeek with way too much time on his hands. All of the picts in this page are mine and mine alone unless otherwise noted. Remember, kids: stealing is bad, mmmm-k? I get quite pissy if things are taken without telling me. I don't like to be pissy. You won't like it either. If you want to link to this page, that's fine. Please shoot me an email beforehand so I can link to your page as well. K? Thanks. --Ryan
