US/State mixup shield error signs

[Max Rockatansky]

US 99 at Fresno-Yosemite International Airport where CA 99 ought to be:
The US 99 appears to be a contractor error while the US 61 is a leftover from when the highway still existed north of Duluth.

To be fair -- weren't CA-99 and OR-99 intended to be US-99 someday?  Obviously not anymore, but ... ?

Actually they "were"  US 99.  In the case of Fresno Yosemite the sign was installed way past the late 1960s when US 99 became CA 99.

Found this one out driving near West Linn, Oregon back in October. This is along Willamette Falls Drive a.k.a. old Oregon 212:

Most travel guides will have some sort of mix up on someway shape or form.

[US 89]

The US 200 in this one should be MT 200.

^^^Would US 200 be a daughter route of US 400?

[tckma]

The US 200 in this one should be MT 200.

200 is basically a US route anyway, sharing the same number across (off the top of my head) MT, ND, and MN, as well as possibly other states.

ID is the other.

Now I kind of want that "US 200" sign to go with the rest of my collection.

Westbound reassurance marker off of IL-103.  I had to center the sign panel in the photograph to keep the sun out of the viewfinder.

"PA 19" signs along Ivory Ave. in Pittsburgh (should be US 19)...

At one time California featured US 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80.  US 50 was the last surviving dinosaur, but, alas, it too has now succumbed.

Found a "US 9A" sign in Bronx near the Henry Hudson Parkway, digging though my old 2013 photos:

The US 200 in this one should be MT 200.

The whole Highway 200 should have just been marked as a western branch US-4.

These aren't very common in Arkansas.

AR-67, which doesn't actually exist. It's US-67 in Searcy. Taken today.

I took the photo of the green "CA 50" spade above at the end of February.  It didn't last long because going by there today I saw the proper US 50 cutout replacement.  I imagined jrouse seeing the photo, storming across the office and pounding on somebody's desk.

I was leaving the South Terminal at the Austin airport last week and they have a "Texas 183" sign on the road leading you to US 183.  I took a picture but can never post successfully on here, happy to email it to someone.

You first have to upload your picture to a picture hosting service (such as Flickr), then link to the picture in your post.

US 222 makes an appearance in Gainesville, though only on an airport guide sign:

[PurdueBill]

Appeared on the ramp carrying IN 25 to Burlington Ave near Logansport; seen before but finally photographed on Saturday.

Appeared on the ramp carrying IN 25 to Burlington Ave near Logansport; seen before but finally photographed on Saturday.

Friendly suggestion: would be nice if the mix-up were pointed out along with each picture, for people unfamiliar with the area. I had to look up a map of Logansport to figure out it's supposed to be US-24, not IN-24.

It's half the fun.    (US 29 and 25 don't come near Indiana so 24 was left by process of elimination, but that isn't common knowledge for folks from farther away.  But finding that out looking at the map is fun!)

The other part of the fun is that the ramp of the split diamond between intersections ahead carries 25 NB, 24 EB, and 35 SB together, while the dual carriageway adjacent has no routes on it between the offramp and onramp.

One of Birmingham's old and funky / weird / awful painted Truck shields was re-purposed for directions to I-59:



I wonder if there was ever a corresponding I-20 (or even a US 20) shield?

Looks like US 441 got extended to Penfield, NY: https://goo.gl/maps/ycBkX9ebf442

Looking though some old 2012 photos, found this "GA 129" where US 129 belongs, near Eatonton, Georgia:



It looks like the bungled sign error is still there, but in a different arrangement, as of May 2017...
