the 265 is a Connecticut shield.  I wonder if a Conn contractor goofed.

Do you have a higher-resolution version of the US 15 shield?

I do and its already posted: www.aaroads.com/shields/show.php?image=NY19700151t200150.jpg

And FWIW, I remember that being a U.S. 15 shield in the late 1980s. So either it was carbon copied later, or its held up incredibly over the years...

And this U.S. 15 shield at Exit 1 of Interstate 390. Not that I mind it, I wish U.S. 15 still traveled to Rochester...

agentsteel53

that 15 might also be an old shield.

US 15 was truncated to Painted Post in 1974, and that shield looks too new.

It's the contractor's fault on this one. AHTD would never put up something that ugly

it is the older style with the C numbers and the classic shape.  I wonder if it sat unused as inventory for however many years?  Or if, indeed, it's an error US-15 manufactured in the early 90s or so.  The sign looks like it's been out there for 15 years but not significantly more than that.

It must've held up well, for you can see the same shield on Google Maps' street view: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=42.567722,-77.590524&spn=0.000433,0.001725&z=19&layer=c&cbll=42.567709,-77.590651&panoid=6ydbgS5f4M87WFLUnK6qFQ&cbp=11,97.75,,1,-2.06

Also, I found another one:



NY 20 should be US 20.

Either a Business I-15 or I-315?

Probably Business 15, as I-315 isn't signed.

Hmmm,  that hwy 90 photo looks like it could be the intersection of Okaloosa Co 393 and US90?? I've noticed alot  of US90 signs in Okaloosa & Walton counties as being signed as FL90. I thought perhaps the state was "decommisioning" US90 but then I remembered US90's state designation is FL10. It seems I even saw a FL90 sign on the actual row of US90, I'll have to look for that and get a pic.

Speaking of US routes erroneously signed as state routes:

In this instance, North 265 goes to the right. Straight ahead is South 265, to the left is somebody's yard.   :-P

WIS 14?

The county is in charge of these signs as the route is under local control.

I know of a similar WIS 141, as well as a state route shield of that style that says US 8.  I really need to process my photos of my November MI/WI/IL/MN trip!

I've been noticing many more NY route shields being posted with US route shields recently.  In Cobleskill, NY, you can go to the intersection of US 10 and US 145.  There is also a bevy of US 10 shields in Delaware County.  Recently, I saw a shield for US 89 on NY 89 near Trumansburg, as well as a shield for US 290 on NY 290 in East Syracuse.  The US 290 shield looks to just be a temporary shield for reconstruction though.

The error that never ends in Richmond.  US 33 hasn't reached I-95 since 1981.

It gets worse on the other side of I-95, with overheads showing US 33 going in BOTH directions on Broad. I emailed VDOT two years ago and they feel that the exit doesn't see enough traffic to warrant them coming out to fix it.
