I'll contribute to this thread's revival with the Mad River Byway in Vermont.  Taken in Irasville, August 16, 2015.

The Park Service can be somewhat prolific with named routes and unique shields.  Case and point the Generals Highway near the Sherman Tree Grove in Sequoia National Park:

Arizona uses this sign for Historic and Scenic roads, this sign may be accompanied with a Interstate, US or State Highway Shield and/or a Highway Name Banner.

Akin to this, I always like how Arizona goes all out promoting it's best highways:

Arkansas has a number of Scenic Byways using the round logo supplementing a route sign.

A guide to the highways and byways we've posted thus far.  Some posts were omitted because some people posted images without description or credit and I can't tell what they are.  This is a type of thread that makes it rather difficult to gauge what has been posted thus far, so I went ahead and did this.  In the process though, I noticed that user @Jim posted this:

Unlike the number-based threads, it's going to be tricky to keep track of what's been posted and not.  I wonder if someone (not me) will volunteer to keep an alphabetical list of what's been posted to avoid duplicates when we're hundreds of posts in.

Whoops!  I accidentally did something that someone dreamt of at the thread's inception, meaning that I wasn't the first to have this idea.  But here ya go.  I used quote format so you can click on the link to see the original post if you want to see it.

Here's a two-fer, if you count the boring Amana Colonies Trail one (really, Iowa DOT, that's the best you could do for a marker?)

I looked at the list and saw that we don't have Crowley's Ridge Parkway yet... So here it is.

Jonesboro, Arkansas - Taken on April 3rd, 2018



Crowley's Ridge parkway by TheInstrumentalist, on Flickr

I take pictures of road signs, that's about it.

General rule of thumb: Just stay in the "Traffic Control" section of the forum and you'll be fine.

Techknow

We don't have De Anza National Historic Trail either, let me fix that!

Found at the end of CA-25 just off the US-101 interchange. The sign is at the background, I just happened to recognize it. There's certainly many of them, one on US-101 northbound, one mile before the interchange with CA-85 at San Jose, and another before the interchange of CA-85 and I-280.

Another thread mentioned Ozark Frontier Trail
