State-named interstate shields

[Ian]

Found these Nebraska state-named I-80 shields in Gothenburg earlier today. Apparently there were two more around town that I didn't know about, but at least I was able to get photos of these two.

I didn't get pictures, but there's a bunch at I-87 Exit 33 along US 9 and NY 22. Some of the only state name shields remaining for I-87 along state-maintained roads and the only ones I know of actually at an interchange. There are also BGSes on US 9 referring to I-87 as the "Adirondack Northway".

A couple I spotted on my recent midwest trip:


Beloit


I saw a few of these in downtown Minneapolis

What's the location?  I'd like to get a pic if I'm down there again.

There's a metric crap-ton of state-named I-66 markers along VA 55.

Speaking of Virginia, this assembly somehow survived a big replacement project along I-81 in the southwestern part of the state.

Spotted another I-4 Florida shield in Lakeland this morning:

West Virginia again. West Virginia is one of the best states for this.

Feel that this old Georgia state-named shield belongs in here:

Finally spotted a state named shield for Interstate 59 in Louisiana last week:



Jeff has scoured the area during the last two years and I checked out the interchange at U.S. 11 and LA 1090 last year and none were posted yet. Checked all of the exits north of there last Wednesday before finding this one on the southbound mainline. There are no shields even posted at the Pearl River Turnaround, just two guide signs instead.

My father working on assignment for me in Florida spotted this for me.  Thanks to Alex and Brent for the help!

Photographed 12 Nov 16 on US 20/NY 5 near the Silver Creek-Irving interchange entrance for the NYS Thruway.

I think that's the last one in Region 5.

Glad to see there's still one at that interchange.

While driving to Alabama yesterday,  I noticed that Louisiana now has non-neutered reassurance signs starting after the Waverly exit (157) eastward all the way to the Mound exit (182). A couple of these had the state name at almost a microscopic size.

Jeff R. texted that a number of signs for the I-55/US 51 overlap were just replaced and now use state named shields. Some weird looking US 51 markers were added too.

He also wrote that at least one of the mainline I-12 shields has Louisiana in it now.

So did we ever finalize the map of state-named shield use?

Found another set of state named shields for Interstate 75 on Saturday:

This is the last iteration of the map--let me know if I should change anything

[Mergingtraffic]

I'd say NY is virtually none.  True there are some older signs with the state-name but as for new installs.....it's none.

2 more for the collection...

This map is pretty.
