TN-140 is a Triangle if the sign was done correctly.

UMM I know there is a I-530 in Arkansas.

Yeah you're essentially correct. This photo was taken in Abgindon, VA, so no Tennessee triangle, but the 140 should be in the Virginia shield.

Why are you quoting an 11-year-old broken image, and also, how are you able to see it and respond?

[ozarkman417]

The image was broken a few minutes ago but now I can see it just fine.

Great street name...very imaginative.  English teachers will love the apostrophe too.

In Texas, an I-35 NB sign south of San Antonio mistakenly labels FM 462 as Texas SH 462:
https://www.google.pl/maps/@29.0473984,-99.0240243,3a,75y,79.22h,78.97t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6S870ALB3GogKyl_TIP0zw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

It didn't use to.

About five pages back, I'd found this one:

...Farm-to-Market roads that are posted as state highways along I-35:

Texas tends to do this a bunch more on guide signs rather than reassurance, probably because most of that signage are simple rectangles.

There's another set on I-40 in the Panhandle for FM 295 (labelled TX295)

Somewhere between Laredo and San Antonio, I even once saw a white square with 'COUNTY' at the top instead of 'TEXAS' or 'FM'.  However, since then, I've been unable to determine what exit it was.  That was probably nine or ten years ago now.

I always thought that the TxDOT should just use the state-shaped shield for FM/RM roads on BGS', as nature intended.  And it's way more aesthetically pleasing than an Illinois-style square.

Much harder to read at a distance, though, unless you do those funky cutout things they used in a handful of locations.

Found it, and this time (for a change) I didn't have to page all the way through hundreds of possibly relevant sheets to find it--it turned out to be page 109 out of 739 that plausibly cover I-35 between Laredo and San Antonio.

I-35 Exit 125 near Natalia, Texas

This sign was (probably) installed as part of TxDOT CCSJ 0017-05-073, the relevant plan sheet being sealed March 5, 2009.

South Bay Galleria (mall) in Redondo Beach, CA.  California SR 91 (Artesia Blvd.) borders the north edge of the property; this segment was never US 91 back in the day.

Imagine if this rule applied to NE2.

Awesome!  Yes, it was definitely northbound.  I'm surprised it's still there.  The next couple of times I drove the stretch of highway, I looked but didn't notice it.

If you took the "farm road" out it wouldn't look too bad.

Hey, I like those! They just need a little tweaking to be easier to read at a distance.

I like that idea, too, but remember Texas has many 4 digit FM and RM routes. Many in the 2000's and 3000's.

Texas presumably also has copies of Series C and B, even if they don't seem to use them much.
