Do you know of any business/truck/alternate/spur county roads that are signed?

I recently discovered one: there is a truck route of Waseca CSAH 3 in Janesville, MN, allowing trucks to bypass downtown.

I think I've seen a grand total of none in TX.

New Jersey here, so there are a multitude of alternate, spur, and truck bannered county routes.

Yeah, that's where I've seen them the most, by far.

Florida usually just suffixes county roads with an A, B, C...so this Pasco County 579 Alternate is a little out of the ordinary:

The markers for many lettered county highways here in Wisconsin include at least the North/south/east or west tabs.

Does Wisconsin have any bannered County routes? I don't think I've seen any, but then again, a town needing to move that classification of route off the main street is probably quite small indeed, and would likely welcome the traffic.

This.  New Jersey has a ton of them.  For example, Spur CR 549, Bypass CR 533, Truck CR 541, and many others.

I don't think the OP is looking for directional banners.  He seems to be looking for alternate route type banners (i.e. bypass, truck, alt, etc etc).  Do any of those exist in Wisconsin?

I want to say I've seen an ALT banner on a county route in New York, but I'm not 100% and I can't remember where it might have been.

^^I have never seen a mannered county highway, but have seen a few instances that were possible, but given a different letter designation.

The only bannered county road I'm aware of in Iowa is county road S56, which has separate truck and business routes through Ackley.

That strikes me as odd for a Minnesota county route. I would have thought they would just assigned a different number, although Truck Route signage would stay in place.

The truck route is actually not a county road. It's a city street that posts courtesy signage for thru trucks to avoid the downtown area and a potentially problematic intersection.

I believe I've seen TRUCK or TRUCK ROUTE banners on secondary route signs in Virginia.
