January 21, 2018: To celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, find roadways that honor him.

Martin Luther King Jr Pkwy forms an L-shaped route around the south and west sides of downtown Des Moines. The east-west section of the road, west of the dividing line, is the only street in the city prefixed with the "West" direction. Here's a sign at the corner of the L, where it intersects Fleur Dr and the unprefixed N/S section of MLK Jr Pkwy (straight ahead in this picture).

^^ Was there ever an I-170 shield on that sign?

I don't think so. The right did say Harbor City. Other signs in the area had an I-170 though.

There's not many opportunities to mix up both of my interests, so here's the start of the 1978 Long Beach Grand Prix with "Left ONLY" signage on a BGS:

January 26, 2019: Road signs that probably won't be seen/noticed by the general public.

Mile marker on MA 110. This road has more typical markers every 0.2 miles; this type of marker can have an odd decimal digit but is not placed as often as every 0.1 mile.

Interestingly, the mile markers on this segment of road are off by about 2 (should be 47.x). I would expect internal mile markers to be more accurate.

Note: "Almost invisible" is not the only option for this challenge. If it's not seen because it's not open to the general public, it still counts.

I don't know if this counts as a road sign or not...

This is a right-of-way marker for US-65 near where it crosses over Lake Taneycomo in Branson, MO.
Most people wouldn't see it because it's along a hiking path in a little-used city park.
GSV of the back of the sign here.

I think New York's reference markers fit this.  Here's one on the Lake Ontario State Parkway.  August 14, 2016.

I'd say most of the motoring public never notice this sign as it's behind a fence and shrubbery in Queens, NYC.

I thought I'd be able to contribute at least one here, but even with almost 18,000 pictures of road signs and I don't seem to have a single one of a blue logo sign.

I have one despite only having a few hundred photos. I took this photo because I thought the decimal mileages were interesting. Atlanta area; not sure which exit.

I don't generally take photos of these, but it turns out I do actually have one. I-75 northbound approaching exit 350 for FL 200 near Ocala (2018-12-17):
