The Indiana Toll Road has a passable attempt at a M-217 shield at the Elkhart East interchange (exit 96).

Looks like they took from North Carolina. Is there an NC 217 somewhere within that state?

There is.

Indiana got the diamond shape right, but Michigan stretches its diamond shield for 3 digit routes (NC does not).
Control cities CAN be off the route! Control cities make NO sense if signs end before the city is reached!

I guess I hadn't thought about that; all I noticed was the missing "M".

BGS in Michigan don't usually have the "M."
Don’t ask me how I know.  Just understand that I do.

I was noticing that in NJ, on I-80 W Bound there are already signs for PA 611 (Exit 310) in NJ.

These signs are in Georgia. Both exits are in Tennessee, but only exit 2's sign came from that state. The exit 1 sign and the gantry are GDOT spec.



Almost certainly these are no longer standing, as the 75/24 junction was substantially reconfigured over the past year.

This one in Ottawa I find rather strange.

I would think Ontario would either sign it as "Aut 5 Via Nicholas Street", but they put Aut-5 with Gatineau, as if it is a control city.

The shield itself doesn't look bad actually, although Quebec would use a squished version of the shield when it's on a BGS I believe.

Yes. It's in my home town.

It actually varies by number of digits. The only 1-digit autoroute (A-5, as shown here) isn't supposed to get squished shields.

Ah, that's interesting. Thanks for the info

I know the BGS on the right of the gantry is 100% Georgia, but the one on the right is Tennessee's.  Both are in Georgia about exists in Tennessee.

That example was posted just 5 replies before...

Wasn't good enough.  Needed to be done again.

The sign for the Kanorado exit on I-70 eastbound, located in Colorado, is a Kansas installation. Dead giveaway is the use of extruded panel signage. Kansas uses extruded panel, while Colorado uses increment panel.
