Keeping us off Virginia circles while I can, I take us to SC for 641.

Staying in South Carolina for 642.

"BEGIN 644" when 644 goes in two directions from this intersection?????

Reminds me of the "I-80 ENDS, I-95 BEGINS" sign in New Jersey at the end of I-80.  That sign just pissed me off every time I saw it.  No, that is not the beginning of I-95.  Not by a long shot, in either direction.

Going up to PA for 643:

That's unusual, isn't it: Giving the 15mph warning 2 miles in advance of the actual exit? It is quite the abrupt exit, though:

I'd guess it's mainly to inform truckers that may want to use the exit, to give them plenty of time to start downshifting.  PA does this in a few areas.

There is no reciprocal assembly coming the other way - http://www.vahighways.com/va-ends/us/us360_et_02.jpg

Within the same VDOT district they have a more egregious example which says US 301 ENDS while it also continues to the right...

Directly opposite is another one but is slightly less offensive since VA 207 does actually end here

I think this district likes to delineate these transitions
Here is one that is actually correct - http://www.vahighways.com/va-ends/va200/va214_et.jpg

Totally nitpicking, but the 2 pics in the quote are a mismatch of sorts.  The 2 mi advance sign is heading WB (going up the steep hill), though the pic of the off-ramp is from the EB carriageway.

Nitpickey, of course, becuase both sides of the interstate have tight ramps like that at that interchange, and both directions have a 2 mi advance sign with an exit speed warning.

There is one sign I really hope gets shown soon. On I-70 near Zanesville, OH, there is a sign that says "State Route 666 impassable by heavy trucks." That sign has always struck me as funny because it implies skinny trucks go to hell. Since 666 is coming soon, that would be awesome imo.

That's not the only great 666 sign out there. Expect a race for that number.
