Do You Know Our ABCs?
Sure, there are volumes of video games out there these days, but perhaps we all can agree there is nothing quite like CT News' "Do You Know Our ABCs?"
The game play is simple. Below are links to three narration-free videos, all under 40 seconds. They were shot recently alongside (or over) California roadways that are maintained by Caltrans. Click on each image, watch the videos, and guess (or even determine!) what roadway is shown and where it is (approximately). Email your answers to CT News and you might just be eligible for one of our jaw-dropping virtual prizes! (Your name mentioned at the bottom of this page!)
The deadline for submissions is July 20. Thanks for playing, and good luck!
