Ohio has been really bad lately.

US 175 posted for OH 175 at US 6  * new installs
US 237 posted near Cleveland Hopkins Airport
US 2 (contractor error) for OH 2 at OH 91 southbound

Once I am out of Facebook "prison" I will post - Google Maps showing correct shields.

New York never seems to run out of these, do they? US 219 stands in for NY 17, for some reason. Maybe it took a break.

"Hey, which shield gets the state route treatment?"

"Doesn't matter, just NOT the 86!"

"Okay, got it. Uh, which was the seventeen?"

"...it'll take care of both and save $200."

I-86 and US 219 are concurrent.

I think the infinite number of US/State mixups in NY is due to NYSDOT's practice of officially calling any non-Interstate route as a generic "Route" and an overemphasis on the idea that US Highway routes are just State routes in practice.
