Great angle. Could be more dramatic with a levels tweak of the dark end. Nice work.

Nearly took my "longest title" title. I like the repetition of the yellow walkers. Haaaate the red border.

Slight Turn Ahead

Nice color and clarity. Possibly better with the diagonal of the hill not directly behind the sign.

Interesting. Is that sign in Arabic? I really like the curve of the road, and the way the sign and lamps lean into the frame. The road leading toward whatever's under that hotspot in the sky works for me, too. Would like to see this bigger, though, and a little less grainy if possible (although the graininess is consistent with the feel of the pic).

One way or the highway

There's something to be said for keeping the composition simple and the content minimal, but I think you'd have done better to exclude more of the background here. I like the fence and the sign, but the power lines are a major distradtion.

This looks like it was taken through the window of a moving bus or train. A crop to exclude the background at L and the bit of wall (?) at R would be a good start, followed by a dose of auto levels to give it some snap.

Ironic Intersection

Needs a little brightness adjustment, but what a catch! Crop is a little tight for my taste at UL.

Tasty. This is the image that's sticking in my mind in this competition. Great approach to the challenge. One nit: since you don't have any pure white in the image, I'd avoid a white border. All black would look better.

On second viewing, this needs a higher score. Very nice B/W with good story. Compositionally, I'd like the see the S just a little bit higher, but that's small potatoes. Very fine.

No Pedestrian Crossing

Very nice tones, and a good, desolate feeling. Plenty of depth for that walk-into-the-picture feeling (especially tasty irony w/r/t the sign). The top feels a little too tight to me, and the white border aggravates the problem.
