State-named interstate shields

[route17fan]

(NY) Rochester, NY is still a state-named shield mecca! This link is to a shield that is still there - it's out of the way but still kickin'!

Found a rare North Carolina I-40 shield in The Triangle...

[Mapmikey]

Anybody know if these two sets of I-75 Michigan shields and M134 cutouts are still around?

So I really haven't been going as crazy as I was beginning to think I was. I have been searching all over the state for one so I could prove they actually existed and I was beginning to think I dreamed it up when I said that I had seen state named shields in NC within the last 20 years. You sir have found the unicorn and I salute you!

As of last summer there were still state-named I-85 shields in the City of Durham

Oooh, going to save those for my next visit.

Here's the link to the one I found; not vintage spec, but unusual enough.

Got them a while back. I'll add the bbcode vs. A link when I get home.

Has anyone mentioned this gem from Las Vegas:

Kinda opposite of the thread but worthy of mention.

That is a new one for me. Interesting.

There were several of these installed with the initial segment of I-215 in Las Vegas (I-15 to Warm Springs Road) in the mid 1990s, both on the mainline and at a few intersecting locations. These were also notable for using 2DI shield specs. The AARoads pages on I-215 have a few of these documented.

I'm fairly certain most of them have been replaced by now (the linked one above might be the last one left).

Some new (in the last few years) Indiana I-70 shields have appeared at the Holt Rd interchange approach. https://goo.gl/maps/HwBamdG1xu92

From Roadsguy2's post in the Daily Picture Challenge thread, this one's appears to be a fairly new installation:

That was installed in 2015 when that section of I-15 was reconstructed.

Actually, almost every Interstate shield installed by UDOT since around 2013 has included the state name. Before then, Utah had exactly zero state-named shields.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but I found this gem last October while walking a side street in Olympia:

Holy crap! No, I don't believe it was. That's one of only two state named cutout interstate shields that I've been made aware of (in addition to this beauty in Mount Vernon: https://goo.gl/XRybdY).

CT still uses state-named shields but this one is a gem:

An I-90 one like the Mt Vernon example was still up in 2010 when I drove by this one located at WA 970 leaving US 97 at night.  Gone by the 2013 GMSV.

Can't help but wonder if that was ever captured up close. Too bad GMSV was such poor quality in most areas pre-2010.

It's really amazing how many WA state-named cutout shields completely dropped off the map between 2000 and 2010. Almost all except for the two noted above, and the straggler you found in Eastern WA.

A NYC installed state-named I-95 shield. It actually looks pretty good...NYCDOT known for square borders and funky arrows.

Trying to save nuts & bolts by squishing the banners & shield together. So sad.

I want this sign. I want it. I need it. My collection of Minnesota highway markers demands it.

I found it on the on-ramp () from MN-60 to EB I-90 in Worthington today.

Steal it lol

I found this beauty yesterday, still posted on MN-13 SB just west of the MN-55 intersection. It points I-494 bound traffic south onto Pilot Knob Rd, since MN-13 does not interchange with I-494.

Found this old boy on the west side of Chicago today. How old of a spec are circular "TO" placards?
