I couldn't find any photos of a US Route 420 sign in the wild (it lasted a mere 7 years), so here's the Shield Gallery's entry for Wyoming:

I've got one for 425.

I'll use this wrong-way concurrency in Boone, North Carolina, for US 421.  I think I've posted this one in other threads.  August 13, 2002.

I couldn't find a photo of a US 511 shield - it only lasted a few years.

US Route 521 is next; this one is on I-20 in South Carolina:

I was hoping the US550 would be a spectacle from the beautiful red rock lands of the American Southwest, and you didn't disappoint.  Excellent stuff, Jim.

This time, I found an old route that does not exist anymore, US 611 (now PA 611):

I can see the end of this thread already, here's US 641:

Probably my last contribution (I have a 701 but not a 730) will be this former US 666 near Gallup, New Mexico, from September 26, 2003.

Let's go with a real US 666 marker.

Former US 666, back when it wasn't "former". This is from Cortez, Colorado in 1996 (with a younger and skinnier version of me in front of the sign assembly), before US 666 was renumbered to US 491:

While we're adding errors, I can go back to fill in this one from New Mexico 537.  February 7, 2004.
