Signs in one state about exits, or state highways for another state; BGS

[roadman65]

I like how on I-95 at the South of the Border Interchange on the NC-SC State Line there is a gantry SB for both exits put up by NC, while the other one just over the State Border is put up by SC  in both cases using their very own methods of signing.

US 301/501 are not state highways, though, but on the NC sign the ramp for Exit 1A is a SC exit and technically the two route concurrency is a state highway.

Sign for KY SR 8 in Downtown Cincinnati, before Fort Washington Way traffic merges in:

I-471 Northbound approaching the Big Mac Bridge in Kentucky:

(NOTE: These are likely to be out of date, as roadwork has been in progress on I-471 the last couple of years.)

Signs for Covington, KY exits 192 and 191 on the Brent Spence Bridge where I-71 and I-75 merge downtown:

On EB I-20, signage for Mississippi Exits 1A and 1B on the Louisiana side of the river. Not sure who's responsible for these, as some of the signage for LA Exit 186 is in Clearview as well.

The first exit in North Carolina on I-85 southbound is in Virginia. Pardon the glare.

[Beeper1]

There is an RIDOT 1-mile advance sign on I-95 SB for CT Exit 93.

There is a MassDOT 1-mile advance sign on I-395 SB for CT exit 100.

The newer small green signs on the Delaware Memorial Bridge NB are for the 295/NJ Turnpike Split in NJ.  Over 3/4 of that bridge is in Delaware, including where most of those signs are mounted. (Delaware's state jurisdiction includes ALL of the Delaware river in that area).

There used to be small signs showing where the state line was, but they've been missing for many, many years.

[Ian]

Not sure if this counts, since the sign is technically in Maine for a Maine exit, but since this is a New Hampshire DOT sign, I'll post it. This is on I-95 northbound on the Piscataqua River Bridge.

How could I forget in El Paso, there are several trailblazers for Mexico Fedral Highway 45, but they look like Texas state highway shields with "MEXICO" written where "TEXAS" would be.

Do you have pics or street view links?

[ethanhopkin14]

I have a picture. I will have to dig it up.

There are the BSGs on the Oregon end of the Interstate Bridge to Washington that mention the first exits on the other side.

[CentralCAroadgeek]

Surprised nobody has mentioned this ADOT sign for the Ehrenburg/Parker exit on I-10 east in California...

[Rover_0]

I want to say that there's a mileage sign on SB I-15 in NW Arizona that mentions distances to Mesquite, Glendale, Las Vegas, and the junction with US-93...all of which lie in Nevada.

EDIT: OK, it doesn't mention Glendale, but you do have Mesquite, US-93 (shield!), and Las Vegas...http://goo.gl/maps/tjhcJ. Hopefully it hasn't been updated to use Clearview.

The others are here.

I'm sure it's been discussed elsewhere on the forums, but there's this overhead on the Pennsylvania Turnpike at King of Prussia.

http://bit.ly/112qimH

It's always puzzled me that there would a pull through for a road that's still over 30 miles away–and that the signs would completely ignore the designation of through lanes (I-276). With the NJ Turnpike shield haphazardly slapped over what I imagine is an I-276 shield, no less. I don't think I've seen any NJ Turnpike shields further east in PA–even over in Bristol.

And if I recall, the NJTA is vague about posting shields on the east-west connector.

That sign has been replaced.  There is now a separate roadside sign that says traffic to the NJ Turnpike should follow I-276.

Looks like an all-LADOTD installation. The gantry is another clue (even though I have seen MDOT use this style gantry in Laurel).

That sign is hilarious.

A long-awaited correction was finally made with that pull-thorugh BGS.  There's now just an I-276 shield.  However, there's a supplemental sign (not sure if it would be considered a BGS) erected shortly before the interchange that reads in a vertical fashion:

NJTP *shield*
USE
EAST
276 *shield*

IMHO, much more appropriate.

On the North-South mainline, there are now an I-276 shield for Exit 6 & the words 'Penn Turnpike'.

The offset is due to the greenover, with the I-95 shield underneath.

On US 130, there's an actual Penna Turnpike shield directing traffic onto the NJ Turnpike Extension WB.

[sp_redelectric]

I-82 East, OR exit on the WA side, WSDOT specs. I don't know why a "TO" is included on there when that exit does put you directly on US-395 and US-730 - http://goo.gl/maps/oChsY

There must be something with that area, because the following pull-through sign on the Oregon side of the bridge has an Interstate 84 (not 82) shield on it.

Here's one in Nevada, clearly applicable to California.

It's a sign on US 395 southbound just past the Minden/Gardnerville (pic taken & hosted by AARoads). It notes whether mountain passes over the Sierra Nevada on certain California state routes are open--they can be subject to snow closures.

The sign is made to Caltrans specs, evidenced by the wood posts (which NDOT doesn't use for permanent signs), but is located in Nevada--it is about 17 miles north of the California border.

Stolen from Steve's website, an advance sign for Exit 1 on A-40, erected by the MTO in Ontario:


CR 14 is not signed on the Québec side.

On A-20 / ON 401, advance signs for the welcome centres on each side of the border have been put up in the other province. Going Ontario-bound, MTO has snuck their own signs into Québec on A-20, and on the Québec-bound 401, the MTO more or less attempted to mimick a Québec-style welcome centre sign, although it's obvious who made it. The sign that predates this one was more faithful to what MTQ does and may have been made by them.

[Road Hog]

I've noticed in Texarkana, the signs for the State Line Avenue exit are TxDOT specs, even approaching from the Arkansas side. I guess it's because the exit is numbered 224A-B in the Texas mileage system.

I think also the BGS 1-mile sign for Exit 1 on the Arkansas side is on the Texas side and also TxDOT spec.
