The thing that bothers me is that red-white vertical barrier; I don't think that such barriers are in the Four Corners region. But then again, I'm not sure.

Uh, but the shadows—haha oh man 12-hour clocks lol, it's not necessarily 6:30am, it could also be 18:30pm! Then the shadows would fit Rangely very well. And the 139 does have that big red/white board at its terminus that you can just spy in this picture. I think Quark is onto something. :)

About the San Diego screenshot: I've tried to make a screenshot without using Photoshop and without disabling the XXX barriers. I have to say, it's perfectly doable, although you have to be creative. And that's the challenge I think. Be creative.
That having said I have more trouble with disabling the XXX barriers than with photoshopping some signs. But I think both must be avoided:

- XXX barriers must not be disabled because they are part of the game; if disabled it can give us wrong information about driveable roads, while in the game they are not driveable. It leads to misinformation, and that's a bit bland.
- Photoshopping by erasing texts is really not necessary. Try to use the environment/scenery, or use your truck/trailer to block the signs: just use dev cam with a very slow camera speed.

Most important: be creative. See this screenshot without using Photoshop. By moving the camera a little bit to the left it should even be possible to block the leftmost XXX barrier.

if you ask me. Just turn left at that junction and you are right in the town.
That is the Four Corners Region. This region is all four states thwt form the Four Corners (Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico).

Yes, @Quark got it exactly! It is CO-139 heading into Rangely. And yes, I use 12 hour clock in ATS, so it is 6:30 PM, meaning I am facing northbound in the picture.

Ah, 12-hour.
As you can see, the truck isn't designed for that (it doesn't specify AM or PM). Makes sense, as the freight industry is based on 24-hour time as a standard.

It actually does IRL. It's a detail that SCS left out, probably due to space limitations since the fonts in-game are larger than the fonts in real-life.

Even the customers set their appointments in 24-hour time.
It makes for much less confusion, as you never have to worry about someone forgetting the AM or PM, as SCS did.

I'm sorry for the delay. Had some stress last few days and totally forgot this game here :(. Well, here the next pic. An easy one for those who have good eyes :D

Thank you for the correction, bobgrey. For some reason, always thought this label only applies to the immediate region around the actual meeting point of the border lines, thought maybe of a few dozen miles around this point. You never
stop learning.
