Cleveland’s Public Square is the heart of the city, and is the home of the termini for US 42, 322, and 422 along with a host of Ohio state routes. In addition, US 6 and US 20 pass through the square.

Public Square features specialized brown signs on each side, the one that interested me the most had this seemingly out of place, but accurate, green Ohio Turnpike shield embedded in it.
Unfortunately, much of the square is currently torn up due to construction and some of the signs were down or difficult to photograph. Ontario Street is being rebuilt on this block to add more capacity and more bus lanes, as this is a hub of the bus system in the city.
Euclid Street runs east out of downtown, and hosts US 20. The interstate system in the downtown area is well signed, but there are very few if any standalone signs. Most interstate shields sit on these specialty green background signs mounted on various existing poles.
More Cleveland soon, including Ohio 2 (The Shoreway), and I-490.
