Crappy photo, but this is on westbound I-90/NY Thruway.

Washington also does this, although I'm not sure it's done 100% of the time.  There's a sign on I-5 marking the Puyallup reservation.

I've also see on I-80 in Pennsylvania, only eastbound, I've never seen WB, a sign denoting the highest elevation east of the Mississippi River on I-80.

They used to have a sign westbound, too.

I just went by there Sunday night, but I didn't notice it, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

The sign on the westbound side was there when I passed it back in October.  I assume it's still there.

Is that US 81?

I am pretty sure that judging by the center wall and the yellow sign in the background that it is I-44/Bailey Turnpike. I-40 has a similar sign just a couple of hundred yards east of the US 81 interchange, though.

There is a sign on I-70 W. of Topeka that notes it as the oldest stretch of interstate in the country. Also, in the realm of geographical notations on signs, the two points at which I-8 in California crosses Sea Level are marked.

I may be passing the I-8 signs within the week, would you like a pic?

NYSDOT has a couple of reservations marked on I-81 (Onondaga Nation Territory) and I-86 (Seneca Nation - Allegany Reservation). Actually, I-81 Exit 16 was changed from Nedrow to Onondaga Nation Territory in the early 90s, complete with political boundary signs marking the border.

Ah yes...Right by Exit 58 of the NY Thruway.  I used to jump off that exit all the time to top off my gas tank, since gas was waaaay less on the reservation (about 5 minutes east of the toll booths) since you didn't have to pay any gas taxes.  One of the great little-known secrets about driving along the Thruway!!

in Illinois, on I-80, there is a sign for a test section of interstate built in the 1950s.  I do not recall the details, apart from the fact that I think it is not too far east of I-39.  the test section is still there as well - it was built to see how the road would fare under particular weighted loads.

Here is a pic I took a few years ago
