Afficionado of mathematically significant road signs, David Slauenwhite, picked this sign up while pedaling on two wheels through the Empire State. This sign has the unique characteristic of not being terribly interesting in any way other than the math that it contains. All of the cities are fine, but do not pique ones interest in any particular area.

This sign uses the oft-overlooked but highly effective modulo operator to find it's relationship. If you divide seven, by three, you have a remainder of?

$7 \bmod 3 = 1$

This sign was found on NY 208 southbound as you approach NY 17K.
