The routings of US 62 and US 68 have changed a number of times since the new bridge was built. Originally, US 62 and US 68 followed the AA Highway west to the turnoff for the new route and bridge. The new connector route originally had a 3000-series state route number before both US highways were routed onto it.

When the US 68 bypass was built, no intersection with US 62 was created. The roads cross at a grade separation with no interchange. Therefore, US 62 is routed back through downtown.

It's signed properly in Kentucky, but still signed as Business 62 in Ohio.

I have a number of photos over the years showing how the signage evolved on both sides of the river.
In my experience, old routings of state routes still have some signs on them in KY.  KY 15 in Whitesburg comes to mind.  Wouldn't be surprised if there was an old KY 3 trailblazer or two around Jenny Wiley.

US 206 ends here. It hasn't connected to its parent in decades.

Though nice button copy signs though.

That's a classic. I'm impressed it's still up. I remember it when I was driving US 6 in 2006.

Port Jervis is straight ahead not left onto I-84 as it says here..

Saw this sign when driving back from Cheyenne this weekend. SH-34 doesn't exist, it's referring to US34 at Loveland. I also don't remember any other use of SH terminology on distance signs in Colorado.

This sign needs to say EaST US 46 not WEST.

Although one can argue that it implies a u turn at the next signal, this next image is that intersection with a Truck Prohibition on U Turns.

To get to I-80 from this side of the road, you would use US 46 EAST to Howard Blvd. North.

Another NJ mistake.

Implying that NJ 29 and 129 overlap when they don't.

This is 5 years old and probably long since fixed, but here's an Albuquerque local news report on a NMDOT sign goof.

I believe the road to the left is NJ 87 North and not NJ 187 North.

This is on southbound US 65/US 165 at the intersection with AR 138 between Dumas and McGehee, AR.  The direction sign for US 165 is correct, but not the one for US 65.  The corresponding northbound sign correctly shows "NORTH" for both highways.

US 160 does a pretty good job of avoiding much of anything noteworthy.

It does serve the third-largest city in Missouri, y'know...
Having been to Springfield many times, I stand by my statement.

Ever visited Shell Knob?  :p

Wow, you dug up a post from nine years ago?

For what it's worth, the most noteworthy thing in Springfield served by US-160 is a Wal-Mart...

Springfield also has 2-3 local pizza places and too many Oriental-type places to count (being the home of Chicken Fried Rice). :)

I'm not saying Meth Capital USA Springfield isn't noteworthy.  I'm just saying that US-160 avoids all of its noteworthy parts.

These are not Tennessee route shields: https://goo.gl/maps/Ta3zA8Q8pP9XJVZd6

The Natchez Trace is loaded with round shields. I don't think there are any Tennessee shields throughout the route, though I have not clinched it in both directions.



Hey, it least it works for Mississippi...

^That's interesting. Obviously I have no knowledge of the area personally.
