The hairpin turn on US 44/NY 55 near Gardiner, NY. Self-nom. I like the way it captures the tightness of the turn (official speed limit here is 5 mph), its busy nature due to its proximity to one of the Northeast's most popular climbing cliffs, and the sky and bit of fall color.

I would like to nominate this picture because it captures the amount of traffic that I-495 has to handle.  V60 干什么？ · VDemolitions · VRoads (路) 19:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Support. The presence of exit signs in the picture allow a viewer to quickly determine where the image was taken, and the heavy volume shown in the image is, as nom'd, a good indicator of how much traffic I-495 carries. A nice departure from the last two featured pics, both depicting largely rural roads. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 03:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Support because it conveys the information but with some reservations. I personally would prefer that people not take pictures through windshields for our road articles (only one of mine has been). You inevitably clutter the picture with the wipers or dashboard and you lose a bit of the color range because of the green tint of the glass. A traffic jam on the LIE could have been better captured from one of the overpasses and conveyed the same information more effectively. Daniel Case 01:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

The result of the poll was support 2nd image.

I would like to nominate this photo because it shows that the New Jersey Turnpike is a major artery in the most dense state in the country. Bernstein2291

  • Weak support. OK, it does show that. But I think the best possible image would be taken from an overpass at rush hour, somewhere with the dual-dual system, where you could show much more of the highway and thus much more of the congestion. Daniel Case 15:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I would love to nominate this picture. The picture shows the Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge on Pennsylvania Route 462 the old Lincoln Highway. It is a beautiful picture. JA10 T · C 00:03, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Support. Great image. Too bad there's not also a bridges portal. Daniel Case 15:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Self-nom. How can we not use this? The Hawk's Nest, the stretch of NY 97 perched above the Delaware River that launched a thousand car commercials. I took a lot of care to make this one that shows the whole landscape around this section of road. Daniel Case 04:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

The four-lane Foresthill Bridge was built in 1971 to replace the low crossing of the American River on State Route 49 in preparation for the construction of the Auburn Dam. The dam was canceled for environmental reasons, but the bridge, the tallest in California, remains along the local Foresthill Road.

I just think this looks cool. --NE2 07:49, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
