2021 Indiana State Roads

Scour the Indiana’s state roads and take pictures of the many Indiana State Road Shields along with your motorcycle.  Task# equals “SR” plus road number. As examples, State Road 135 would be SR135 and State Road 3 would be SR3.

State Roads in the U.S. state of Indiana are numbered rationally: in general, odd one-digit and two-digit highways are north–south highways, numbers increasing toward the west; even one-digit and two-digit highways are east-west highways, numbers increasing toward the south, the opposite of the Interstate Highway System. Three-digit highways are related, as a rule, to the single-digit or two-digit parent US or State Road; thus State Road 205 (SR 205) is related to SR 5, and SR 120 is related to U.S. Highway 20 (US 20).

Exceptions to this system are SR 37, SR 47, SR 56, SR 57, SR 62, and SR 67, diagonal routes, the defunct SR 100 beltline around Indianapolis, SR 135 (which acts like a two-digit state highway), and both SR 149 and SR 249 (which are arterials between SR 49 and SR 51). Another exception to the system is SR 265; this highway is a two-mile-long (3.2 km) extension that exists between Interstate 265 (I-265) and I-65 and is over 100 miles (160 km) east of either SR 65 or SR 165, both located in Southwestern Indiana near Evansville.

The numbers of several important U.S. Highways that travel through Indiana are not used as State Road numbers: these include 6, 12, 20, 24, 27, 30, 31, 33, 35, 36, 40, 41, 50, and 52. US 40, in fact, roughly corresponds in location to where "SR 40" would be; SR 38is north of it and SR 42 is south of it. US 6 is located similarly, and, in fact, follows the general course of former SR 6.

Members will be tasked to take a picture of their motorcycle with the Indiana state road sign easily distinguishable. See task list for eligible state roads.
