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. Dough4872 00:17, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Nice winter picture. Dough4872 00:17, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Rolled over nominations
![](../../../../I/I-40_Crosstown_before_opening.jpg.webp)
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. Dough4872 01:36, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
![](../../../../I/Business_Texas_State_Highway_121.JPG.webp)
- Oppose - Blurry, can see the visor. Dough4872 02:19, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose ditto. --Rschen7754 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)
![](../../../../I/Indiana_State_Road_26_start.png.webp)
Never had IN before. Nice countryside pic. Dough4872 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. Dough4872 03:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
![](../../../../I/Seward_Highway_(1).jpg.webp)
- Support, but change caption to: Looking north on the Seward Highway portion of Alaska Route 1 as the highway approaches the Kenai Mountains. — VC 20:55, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
![](../../../../I/Interstate_10%252C_Loop_202_%2526_SR_51.jpg.webp)

![](../../../../I/NY_32_in_Cornwall.jpg.webp)

Select US 220. Dough4872 23:44, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
![](../../../../I/Indiana_State_Road_45_Brown_County.JPG.webp)
Never had IN before. Dough4872 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)

Select I-5. Dough4872 00:59, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
![](../../../../I/New_Mexico_SR_456_adjust.jpg.webp)
- 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)
![](../../../../I/I5inPortlandNight.jpg.webp)
Nice nighttime city picture. Dough4872 00:36, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
