Math Bandito

As you cross over and through the San Juan mountains in New Mexico you are treated to many small villages. You feel almost as if time has gone backwards a bit, however the ever-present satelite TV dishes remind you that you are in fact in the 21st century.

The towns of Vadito, Penasco and Dixon however got together on their stretch of road to welcome drivers with some excellent math.



This is one of those elegant road signs that plainly puts itself out there. Similar to Genesis, I don't think it's possible to even see this sign without doing the math. Surely hundreds, or thousands, of people have commented in their cars about this sign. The math is

$$3 \times 6 = 18 $$

This sign is located on highway 75 in New Mexico as you enter it from highway 518 in the San Juan Mountains.
