This was taken on southbound I-75

QuoteThat's only the second posting of a US highway in a secondary route shield I know of in Virginia, other than the SR 220 shields in Rocky Mount that the Virginia Hwys Project has photos of.

There's a set of new "SR 340" shields south of Front Royal, near the Page/Warren County line.  I have photos but haven't gotten to uploading them yet.

Here is one from beautiful, downtown Minturn, CO.  This is supposed to be a trailblazer for US-24 and not CO-24.

By the way this is about 3 miles away from the moder-day western terminus of US 24 at I-70...Maybe C-DOT is looking to truncate US-24 even more??  :-D

They told me to put the word EAST on. Nobody told me to remove NORTH. So, I don't   :ded:

Here's one that been posted all over the new area in Detroit. But why did we change states...

If only M-DOT would have would have erred with  a US Shield, then it would have been a nice nod to the past (when the Lodge Freeway was US 10).

The closest state from Detroit to use a circle shield would be about 250 miles to the south in Kentucky.

This isn't the only instance. For example, when Oakland County replaces a state highway sign, they do this.

A new one I noticed this morning:  we apparently have a "US 233" in Arlington, VA.  Even has a white border...


Where in Arlington is that one?

Nothing very major, but I noticed when stuck in traffic the other day that the Exit 268 sign on I-64 Eastbound in Hampton shows VA-169 EAST, when VA-169 is signed North-South. East should be north.

(sorry for the poor photo quality, this was taken on my phone)

That one did get replaced with this one, while the errant I-94 shield was replaced with an I-194 shield which was a two-digit blank. Last I knew, that assembly was still knocked down.

what is the error on the Candy Mountain sign?  other than that it is aesthetically displeasing, and features a surface-level TO banner nailed up there?

I think he was going more for the fact that it says Candy Mountain on it. ;)
