Here's a 1/8 mile sign for NJ 42 from I-295 SB near Camden, NJ

1/5 mile exit sign on the westbound I-94/US10/12/52 quadplex in St Paul between LaFayette Ave and I-35E. ...and I'm not seeing it in streetview. Can you clarify where it was, froggie?

1/8 mile exit sign on southbound I-35/westbound I-70/US24/40 in downtown Kansas City. And Google hasn't covered this one in streetview... I'll need to upload my video of I-35 through KC at some point.

And there is a 1/5 mile sign on Interstate 10 east at Exit 7 in Pensacola:

^^^ What's up with the separate FL 297 signs?

Did the FL 297 designation come after the original BGS were set up?

Take a look at the signs that were replaced:



I have no idea of why FL 297 was omitted from the sign replacements; the green box signs with FL 297 were added soon after the original install. These have been up since December 2002.

There is a 1/10 mile sign on westbound I-66 as you approach the Beltway (Exit 64); the sign is attached to the overpass carrying Virginia Lane over the highway. It originally said 1/4 mile but was plainly and obviously wrong, so they changed it to the rather odd 1/10 figure.

commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

I also remember a 1/5 mile sign somewhere on I-81 northbound in Virginia inside a cloverleaf.  I want to say it's somewhere in the general area of Roanoke, but I'm not quite sure.

The 1/5 mile sign on I-81 is at Exit 188, US 60 in Lexington
