In later seasons of the Original sitcom "One Day at a Time" you can see the sign for I-70 Indianapolis.

Former Legislative Route Number 127 on Main Street in Darwin, CA appears in Tremors.  Darwin is the film location used for the fictional Perfection, NV.

Train has CA-37 in the middle of the desert.


But the real CA-37 is on the northern edge of San Pablo Bay from Vallejo to Novato.

Darwin also turns up in the movie Highway 395, even though US 395 never went through it. I imagine it's there as "generic Eastern Sierra dusty place."

The Rue Hutchison/Avenue Fairmount intersection in Montréal is featured in Hutchison Fairmount by François Pérusse. It has remained a running gag in my family for a while, so when I got the occasion to go to Montréal in March, I had to get my own photos:

California State Route 211 and the Fernbridge appear as part of the fictious "Cedar Creek" in the movie Outbreak.

I don't know if it was mentioned here, but I like the 2002 film "Interstate 60" starring James Marsden and Gary Oldman.
The film is about a young man named Neal Oliver who meets a mysterious wish-granter named O.W. Grant and embarks on a road trip along a fictional highway that does not exist on any map of the USA. Along the way, he encounters various characters and situations that challenge his beliefs and values. The film is a parable that explores the themes of truth and lies, dreams and reality, consequences and choices, and the meaning of life.

I noticed an old-school black-on-yellow stop sign in Oppenheimer. A good attention to detail!

Indeed that is. I'm basically one of the very youngest Baby Boomers and I don't remember seeing any of those yellow STOP signs out on the public roadways. I did see them in a few other places though, like on the grounds of an old factory. So, good catch there.

Too bad they had someone waving a 50-star American flag though. That was a rookie mistake.

Wow, dunno where they came up with those (and on the same gantry, no less). The exit sign at least somewhat resembles real life.

I don't know exactly when (late 90s-early 2000s), but Honda aired a commercial where two men were driving on H-3 and discussing the existence of Interstates in HI.

I remember this commercial. It was closer to the mid/late 00s, though. I want to say maybe around 2006-07. The premise was one guy was asking the other one why Hawaii has interstate highways, since they don't leave the state borders. The other guy said "maybe they're planning to build a long bridge or tunnel." Of course, this is based on the (common?) misconception interstate highways are related to length. When in reality it's based on how they're funded and designed.
