which shows what looks like an interstate at an 'Exit 78A', has been
wracking everyones' brains. Where exactly it is taken? The car has
Pennsylvania 'FOP' plates, but I have not been able to match the
image with any specific location in the northeast.

The closest match that I could find is I-79 just north of the
PATurnpike (at interchange 78), but the ramps, buildings and sun
angle are not correct.

Any ideas?

Looks Canadian to me. SW Ontario?

Does that part of Canada use rectangular exit gore signs? Or do they
use the odd shaped rhombus ones like are used in the western Canada?

Take care,

God bless the USA

I'm not sure about the exit gore signs, it's been a while since I've
motored around Canada. I do seem to remember they had rectangle/square
signs not some 'odd' shaped animal.

My feeling about the photo being taken in SW Ontario (London say) is
that the topography is flattish, trees appear to be deciduous and things
in Canada always struck me as being "almost like the US, but some how
different". Sorry nothing concrete to go on.

Kevin Flynn's point about the dump-truck looking odd, I think it's one
of those work-site dumpsters that's on the truck going somewhere.

As posted above look @ the painted line on the left it is white in the
United States it is Yellow on the left & White on the right

I disagree with this also. I've looked at that line and I believe it
is yellow; it is not nearly as bright as the known white lines, so it
is not refelcting as much. Especially if you look ahead at the
distance in the photo. IMO, it's a faded yellow.
