Here we are. That's me, J.P. on the right, with my "co-pilot" Earl on the left. On our infamous road trips I do the driving and Earl takes the majority of pictures and writes down the notes. Most photos on this site have been taken by Earl unless credited otherwise.
I am interested in all aspects of the highways of The Empire State, from our freeways (expressways) and the Thruway, the longest toll-road in the world, to the lightly traveled town maintained roads in the most rural reaches of the Adirondacks. I am particularly interested in signage, especially the signs on the freeways and expressways. Since I grew up in the Syracuse, N.Y. area, I tend to use NYSDOT Region 3 signage as the standard for which I base all other signs in New York State. As I've studied and learned over the years, Region 3 actually does a very, very good job at what they do and deserve to be the standard after all.
