Fewest miles on bottom line of mileage signs

[bassoon1986]

We've had lots of discussion and pictures of furthest distance to control cities on interstates. What about the fewest miles to the control city? I don't foresee a lot of examples of the big cities, because you won't necessarily see a San Francisco 10 miles or Houston 5 miles because you are well within the city limits for those type of cities.

Here's a 4 miles to Lafayette, LA. If I-49 is extended further south I don't know if mileage to Lafayette would change further towards downtown as well. This is basically 4 miles to the terminus at I-10 now.

This one, on E Army Post Rd (old IA-5) at SE 14th St is actually within Des Moines city limits.

Might the lowest for Illinois:  9 for St. Louis on I-55/I-70.

Try this one, in rural Maryland:

We have definitely had this thread before.
I-490 has one near Victor reading Pittsford 6/Rochester 9.

This, and two of the photos posted, have given me a new idea (tell me to buzz off if you think it's too much of a tangent):

What is the lowest combined distance adding together every mileage on the sign? Obviously, we can only do this for signs with two or more lines.

If to exit (list of 3 exits) mileage counts, that will change things here. Just saying.

I thought someone posted a sign here, which had two towns, that vaguely looked like this:

Whoville 1/2
Whatville 1

Ah, here's that old thread: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=11159.msg266170#msg266170

I'm pretty sure that I've seen fractions along the way, although it was probably to interchanges rather than control cities.

Fractions are common on Community Interchanges Identification (i.e. Whoville Exits) signs.  However, I've never seen a fraction used on post-interchange distance signs.

You started this thread right when I posted this to the city name challenge.  This sign sits along US51 northbound in Minocqua, WI, which might as well be a twin city with Woodruff.

There's a 1/2 along US 64 in Oklahoma near Roland

And here all I could come up with are the Newburgh and Thruway signs on I-84.
