I like those signs under the bridge, so unique!
Call me Kenny/Kenneth. No, seriously.

Well rare anyway.

Here's two pictures courtesy of AARoads of signs on the lower level (I-71/75 North) of the Brent Spence Bridge between Kentucky and Ohio.

You want unique road signs on lower decks? 

Take the road less traveled.

Out of curiosity, where's the pic in your second post from?  (The one with the two I-5 North panels)

I've been up and down most of I-5 in Washington, but I can't imagine where it would be.

I-405 North in Portland.  It's the lower deck of the Freemont Bridge.

That ramp setup is almost ideantical to I-279 SB on the Fort Duquesne Bridge.  Well, the ramp setup.

I had a feeling that the answer to the question of why I didn't recognize it was because it's not in Washington.  Once I posted it, I figured it was either 405 or 84.  Thanks. :)

Here are some on the lower deck of the Bay Bridge (I-80 eastbound) in San Francisco complete with exit numbers...




Note: Exit 4B is currently closed and won't reopen until the new eastern span of the Bay Bridge is complete.

If I owned a dam and decided to donate it to charity, would I be giving a dam? I'm sure that might be a first because no one really gives a dam.

Another fun one from I-405, especially since it's only exclusively 30 on the ramp- really surprised they didn't use that space to say I-5 SOUTH or TO I-84

Wonder why they didn't push the whole thing to the right so they didn't have to have "The" on its own little panhandle thing there...

I believe there are some overhead signs on the double-decker section of I-229 in St Joseph, MO.

The lower deck of the Fort Pitt Bridge has rectangular signage similar to what Ian posted from Boston.  Instead of trying to squeeze both route and destination on one, they are spaced between two signs:  first set then second set and even auxiliary signage.

A few examples from I-280 in San Francisco:


I think this is gorgeous. Beefed-up supports, boxy-shape, almost art deco. It's prudent, economical, and almost perfect. I think.

I-93 southbound in the Tip O'Neill Tunnel in Boston:

These are nice, though the exit only tab is way too small for my liking.
