| Starting off on US 9 at NY 9P. The Urologist’s Highway. |
| Looking down NY 9P east. |
| Official END! Shot of NY 9P. This is the southern END! |
| NY 9P describes a semicircular course around Saratoga Lake. |
| Here’s a spiffy truss bridge over Fish Creek. |
| East of the City of Saratoga Springs NY 9P becomes a dual carriageway. |
| Coming up on the Henning Road signal This is a short cut to NY 29 East. |
| At this point you’re in the city proper, hence the 30 MPH speed limit. NY 9P is also Union Avenue here. |
| Further into town, you lose the reservation. You should have called sooner. |
| A single signal on a mast arm. This is pretty common in NY. |
| New Water Road junction west of Saratoga on NY 29. |
| NY 29 west of Saratoga Springs. |
| I love shots like this. It’s like Americana and all that. |
| JN NY 147 at Kimball Corners. |
| Another ROAD! Shot west of NY 147. |
| And yet another. Though it’s long and straight through here, It’s hard to place this as any other part of the country. |
| Surprise! Bridge. It’s for Bridge Street! This is near the Village of Brodalbin. There’s an industrial estate just south of here. |
| NY 30 junction near Brodalbin. We’re a ways from the Thruway, but there are trailblazers just in case. |
| Sneaking up on Johnstown, NY. |
| NY 29 meets NY 30 and turns south here. |
| Sine Salad! |
| The route sines at the NY 29/NY 30A junction. Three times the UPD*TE POWAR of Worldwide Highways in just one snap! |
| Heading north on NY 30A for a bit.
This is a bypass of Johnstown and Gloversville. |
| We’re fixing to turn on NY 29A up here. |
| Heading west on Fulton Street(NY 29A) in Gloversville. |
| Bleecker Street and 8th Avenue in Gloversville. This is also NY 309. |
| At 11th Avenue, NY 309 turns off Bleecker Street, and heads west for a bit. |
| At the Gloversville City line, there’s a pretty obvious change between local and state maintenance |
| NY 309 starts looking like a typical state secondary highway. |
| Around the bend, there’s a surprise! |
| Holy Guacamole! An END! In the middle of nowhere. NY likes to do this. |
| Back ’ round the bend, going the other way, is the first NY 309 sine. |
| Second NY 309 reassurance shield. |
| And here we are back in Gloversville on Bleecker Street. |
| NY 309’s unimpressive southern END! at Fulton Street in Gloversville. |
| Back on NY 30A, southbound this time. |
| NY 29 turns west off of NY 30A at the signal. |
| Chase and Main Street(NY 29) in Johnstown. The junction is staggered. Hence the odd light install. |
| Close up of the light. I like the 4-way in the foreground. |
| Somewhat more modern light at the NY 67 junction. NY 67 runs concurrently with NY 29 for a few blocks. |
| Central Johnstown at Main and Perry streets. |
| I think this is a government building. It’s hysterical, as per the marker out front. |
| NY 67 and NY 29 part ways. We’re going with NY 29 to Johnson Hall. |
| Oh, dog. Doncha hate cheesey turista stylee shots like this? |
| Another staggered junction in Johnstown |
| In the next block you have this light: with the 8” arrow signal. |
| Johnson Hall in Johnson Hall State Park. |
| Funky wig-wag beacon on a monotube arm- not often seen these parts. |
| More long-shotness. NY 29 was good for this sort of thing |
| New York isn’t all NYC. A lot of it looks like this. It’s a world away from downstate. |
| One of the highways you’re sure to cross
east of the IH 81 travelling east and west. NY 10 is a long road. |
| You’re actually travelling south now, with the line of NY 10. |
| NY 10 cuts south, here; NY 29 gradually turns back to the west. |
| Bacon Brook Road junction near Dolgeville. |
| Getting ready to cross from Fulton into Herkimer County at Dolgeville. |
| This historical marker is at the west foot of the bridge, in Herkimer County. Brockett’s Bridge is the former name of this place. |
| Brockett’s bridge over East Canada Creek. Looking east. The historical marker is at left. |
| A side view of the bridge from the south. |
| Rumoured to be the largest repository of TV Guides in the known world. Salisbury Center, NY. |
| Salisbury Center is also the western END! of NY 29A The END! sine is posted in advance of the actual end, indicated by the reference marker on the NY 29 assembly. |
| This is the Fairview Street Covered Bridge at Salisbury Center. |
| There’s a dollar fine for crossing faster than a walk. Natch, I jogged across. I’m such a rebel. The view is north. |
| And inside, it’s delicious! Well, if yr a termite, that is. |
| The short span from the west. |
| And the covered bridge from the west. I’ll wager that’s not the original abutment, there. |
| The NY 170A junction between Salisbury Center and Fairfield. |
| Another curve shot just west of NY 170A. |
| We had NY 170A, now here’s NY 170, east of Fairfield. |
| Here’s the start of a cattle chute on a downgrade between Fairfield and Middleville. |
| Hope yr not claustrophobic. |
| Well, all good things come to an END! NY 29 happens to have it’s western end at NY 28 That’s cool and FUNNY! This is also the northern END! of NY 169. |
| Two-Span Horsie Pony COW!(look out ScherPHPoo!) Truss on NY 28 in Middleville over West Canada Creek, eh? The view is west. |
| NY 28 bends back to the south here. |
| Heading south on NY 28. One day I’ll travel this entire road. |
| NY 28 meets NY 5 in Herkimer. Those NY 5 sines are a leetle olde. NY 28 is also part of the Southern Adirondack trail. |
| Heading west on NY 5-NY 28. The signal has sort of a backplate. The eastbound signal is an Econolite Square-Door Bullseye. There are a lot of these in NYSDOT Region One. |
| I like to call this an ‘ONLY box’ All four directions have a compulsory left, so the box hangs over the center of the junction The signals are McCains, NYSDOT's brand of choice these days. |
| NY 28 passes under the Thruway(IH 90) at J30. NY 28 is the only highway that junctions with the Thruway twice: At j19(IH 87 section) in Kingston, and here at j30(IH 90 section)in Herkimer. |
| Sines at the Thruway entrance, and the END! of the Southern Adirondack Trail. |
| Just over the Mohawk River (That bridge picture was too blurry) NY 28 meets NY5S. Continuing ahead, is East Main Street into Mohawk. |
| NY 5S bypasses Mohawk on this expressway. NY 28 turns south here and goes into central Mohawk. |
| Here’s the traffic light for the split. |
| NY 5S is wiggy in this area. It’s a regular highway in bits, a freeway in others. Here it’s a super-2 freeway. Note the serifed ‘I’ for Ilion. |
| Note the TO NY 5 sine in the background. It’s like a quarter mile to the north, over the Mohawk River-that’s a cool partially elevated trumpet junction. |
| The super-2 some more. The ribs in the opposing lane are to get drivers to slow down for road works. That new surface you saw laid in the previous snap. |
| Bikes have to leave the highway ahead. This is a crossing of old NY 5S and links Ilion and Frankfort. |
| Past the Fraknfort junction, the dual carriageway begins. |
| NY 5S is a full freeway, now. |
| Heading toward Utica- there’s a bit of countryside left. That’s a great huge power line in the distance. |
| An advance sine sure to bug J.P. Wing. As you can see, this practise is inconsistent. |
| Killer railway overpass in the middle of the Schuyler Road junction. |
| TO is a Region 2 specialty. I don’t like this sine stylee, either. |
| Here’s a fine place to start a road race. Someone running up on yr arse in an SUV doing 80 rilly motivates you to run faster, or jump into the verge. Whatever. |
| Just a reminder of america’s past industrial glory. Pay it no mind. |
| The eastern outskirts of Utica and the freeway ends. |
| Utica goes upside yr head with a club! Also notice the area is reasonably neat, given the fact that two cities collided here For those who wondered, this sine sports ZED bars in abundance. Now you know. |
| Spiffy new Box Gantry with not-so-spiffy box sines. |
| Followed immediately by an olde schoole text sine! |
| Oriskany Street becomes a boulevard, and passes by the Utica Auditorium thingy on it’s way to the unloved IH 790. |
| The junction with the IH 790 and the NY 5-8-12 triplex. This is partially a freeway junction and a half junction eastbound with State Street. The south side is squished. |
| The IH 790 ENDS! here. The NY 5-8-123 triplex passes overhead. |
| Getting ready to join the tri-plex. That’s the end of this part of the programme! |
