Highwaymaster: Okay, did I just actually see that?
101 South _TO_ South I-5, East I-10, East Route 60? :-o
A TO sign by Caltrans, instead of signing a route for its post-terminus successors?! Amazing!!! :clap:
How new is this? Looks like there are no exit numbers there, similar in style to the complete avoidance of exit numbers at the brand new signage in metro Sacramento located within the I-80/US 50-Business 80 and Route 99/US 50/Business 80 freeway-to-freeway junctions.

TOO good. The BGS's have been replaced and his sign was sold as scrap to China.

A "fan" of Ankrom's sign wrote this piece which somewhat reminisces about the sign.

The Ankrom sign is still up on Google Street View!

Uh, it's perfectly normal for Street View pics to be a year or more behind.
