Israel


In Hebrew, Arabic, or English, Holyland is the same. In fact, it says "Holyland" in Hebrew, which as far as I know doesn't translate into anything, because this is just a former hotel (thanks, Asher Samuels). Courtesy Matt Kleiman.


In the West Bank area, courtesy Doug Swift. National Route 1 is red here, approximately equivalent to a US Highway. Elsewhere, NR 1 is blue, approximately equivalent to an Interstate highway. Routes can change colors. The road Doug was on is clearly a three-digit green route, though I can't make out which one - those are the equivalent of state highways.

Jordan


Except for most of the information missing or having fallen/torn/been ripped off, this is a typical highway sign. Doug Swift says he was on the "Desert Highway", which may translate into Route 40. Notice the apparent use of a yellow shoulderline.

Manitoba


Manitoba Highway 75 NB at Trans-Canada Highway (also Manitoba Highway) 100, which is the Perimeter Highway around the south of Winnipeg, courtesy Rich Piehl. The maple leaf shield is reserved for the TCH, while the trapezoidal 42 shield is a secondary highway.

New Brunswick


Courtesy Bryan Farr (via Doug Kerr), this is a US 1 shield erected by New Brunswick in Clair, and even though it's one piece it looks better than most states can do it. See the US in the 1? Only California can do it right. Rhode Island can do it terribly, and no other state even tries.


TCH 2 WB around Moncton, courtesy Steve Anderson - the green background is for primary highways, and the blue is for secondaries.

Prince Edward Island


The location and direction of photo are both easy to figure out (it's in Charlottetown, if you're lazy). This photo, courtesy Steve Anderson, shows the standard PEI shield, and then proves that ANY province will fit into the TCH shield. I wonder if they can be customized for birthday presents?

Sweden


E20 WB in Malmö and then on the new Öresund Bridge to Nyborg, Denmark, courtesy David Barnett. It begins with an Ø instead of an Ö in Danish, but they're the same letter in the slightly different alphabets.
