In Jackson County, Oklahoma, the County installs street name blades that identify US & State Highways as numbered county roads.
Why would the county assign numbers to State maintained highways?
Are these legacy numbers from before they were state highways? The fact that US 62 is CR 164, and OLD US 62 is Cr 164.5 makes me wonder.
US 62/ Old US 62 west of Headrick. This number shows up in Google Maps:

I've noticed this before, but I'm having to drag the bottom of my memory.
Back in the mid-1990s, we had a CD-ROM mapping program that I used for trip planning. This was back before Google Maps became a religion. I noticed on that program that OK-136 between the Kansas state line and OK-3 was also labeled as CR-24 (it is also currently labeled as such on Google Maps). But I never saw any signs in the field suggesting the road was actually CR-24. Not sure what's going on in Oklahoma.
That ONE WAY sign is about as beat up as I've likely ever seen a sign.
Meanwhile, oh yes, the topic, this is the first time I've seen any locality street/blade sign a numbered (especially US) highway as a CR. Really strange.

Interestingly, that was the only ODOT sign still on the state highway system that I saw that was deteriorated.
However, there are tons of old ODOT signs dating back to the 60's still standing on former state highways what are in horrible shape, but are really cool because of their age:
