I like that error. We wouldn't get an I-100 otherwise.

I'm not sure how this contractor error happened. That's supposed to be a Western Kentucky Parkway route marker. Instead, we now have I-100!



You should save that pic on at least four different thumb drives, a few SD cards, and maybe the Cloud. It must be cherished foreverrrrrr!

I think we have a winner here. This might be the most baffling error there ever was (unless the Parkway is secretly KY 100?).

Is that a one-off, or are all the approach signs that way?

You have officially won the thread. I still think there one day could reasonably be an I-100 on the very top of the country hugging the Canadian border.

The most northern US route US-2 sees little traffic.

There's a really simple explanation for I-100:

Exit 42 + I-69 — I-24 + Lucky 13 = 100

Never mind, it's just amazingly weird.

Plot Twist: It's not an error.
Just a reminder that US 6, 49, 50, and 98 are superior to your fave routes :)

Yes, a spur route of famous I-0...  :hmm:

I mean, it's the same logic that gave us US-101.

Nope, its secret designation is KY 9001 (and part of it is future I-569), which makes me wonder where the contractor got 100 from in the first place.

Same locale in NJ.

Aren't those just US/State mixup shield error signs?

I tried to find the page, but the site engine was no help.  I typed in US routes signed as State routes, but no help.

Yeah, the search engine is tough to use sometimes.  I tried a few times, then gave up and just searched the child board for it myself.

I've been having trouble using the search engine lately. I find using quotes helps, but even lately that hasn't helped. Most recently I was trying to find an image by searching with the link from Imgur (using just the end of the link) ... no luck. Still haven't found it, even though I know I posted it.

I use Google as the search engine for here. Adding in 'aaroads' to the search normally results in forum posts here as the top results. The exception is for fictional highways, which is locked behind a login and Google can't search for threads there.

Yeah I posted it on there as well as I used your link above.  Have to remember that one next time as I always can't find certain threads on here.

I think it's a one-off. The original sign must have gotten knocked down or something.

This is what it replaced. I was in error on the original location. It's I-24 westbound. The eastbound signs have Henderson listed as well as E-town. Best I can tell, this photo was taken last summer.

I drove the I-24 and 69 concurrency in September last year and saw no mistake. I drove it EB and nothing odd then.

Something tells me it's being used for other than its originally intended purpose.
