Longest Distance on a Mileage Sign in Each State

[jeffandnicole]

On NJ 42 in Turnersville:

The thing about this one: Only Atlantic City can be reached by continuing straight on the road (which involves a route number change from 42 to 322).

In order to access the other 3 roads, and be accurate on the mileage, you have to guess which routes they want you to use!   Logic would dictate 42 to 322 to the GSP, but then again, logic would also dictate one would've taken the faster AC Expressway already...or have taken Rt. 55 for a more direct route!

For Illinois to a city in Illinois, probably this one with 371 to Chicago on NB I-57 after the IL 3/US 51 interchange

For in Illinois but to a city in another state, probably the first distance sign with Memphis on the bottom line for I-57 - I believe that would be 496 on this sign south of the Manteno Exit.  If there is one for Memphis with a distance over 500 south of I-80 I cannot find it tonight.

I could have sworn there was a Distance Sign with Memphis on I-57 near the I-80 Exit, but I can't find it on Street View

Of course, IL's longest should be on I-55, just South/West of US 41/Lake Shore Drive, with a Distance to New Orleans (or at least Laplace, LA)...

But then again, would you post that Mileage, using all I-55 Mileage, or would you post it using 55->90/94->57->55 more Direct routing?

About the only other Longer Intrastate ones that would be possible, is if US 51 has Mileage to South Beloit from Cairo or to Cairo from South Beloit or if US 45 has Mileage to Antioch from Brookport or to Brookport from Antioch. I don't think those exist, tho

Who knows, if I-57 thru MO and AR actually happens, maybe we'll get Long Distance Controls and Mileage on the I-57/I-30 corridor for Dallas in Chicago and for Chicago in Dallas. At the least, hopefully Memphis can be replaced with Little Rock on I-57, once I-57 actually reaches Little Rock

For Ohio, found someone's Baseball Roadtrip Blog, that has an I-80 East Mileage sign with 405 Miles to NYC on it. Blog is dated from 2011, so a few years old

I remember seeing a sign or two along I-40 in Flagstaff, Arizona promoting Los Angeles -- somewhere in the neighborhood of 485 Miles.  Probably was one for L.A. being over 500 miles somewhere east of Flagstaff, as well.

Got a pic of Kentucky's yesterday, and as soon as I get it off my camera and onto Flickr, I'll post it here.

At least I'm pretty sure that it is; I don't think there is a mileage sign to St. Louis on I-64 between I-65 and the Ohio River/Indiana state line.
