I can't remember if Truck OR 204's signed, but it only clocks in at one block long in Elgin, connecting OR 82 to Truck OR 82. Speaking of, Truck 82 and Truck OR 131 in Tillamook aren't especially long... and OR 131 itself, running between Oceanside and Tillamook, is one of Oregon's shorter highways (not the shortest mainline though... 103 and 104 are shorter).

Here's what I think are Louisiana's shortest and signed:

LA 355 in Breaux Bridge, LA: 0.24 miles
https://goo.gl/maps/fuuC7

LA 799 in Gibsland, LA: 0.15 miles (signed only from side road)/Truck US 80 is fully signed
https://goo.gl/maps/ZHlB1

LA 1250 spur in Pineville, LA: 0.08 miles
https://goo.gl/maps/1jVzJ

According to the route log, LA 1035-3 in Livingston, LA is 0.07 miles long (the sign is difficult to read in this image):

It's at least signed from Oregon 82

Alabama State Route 208 is signed for all of 0.8 miles. There's also an END sign at it's western terminus (no need for one at the Georgia border).

AL 151 and AL 209 are even shorter, haven't seen the signage for myself.

AL 151 was signed from what I remember.

Indeed, AL 151 is signed.  It is a 0.4 mile long connector between AL-75 and AL-79 in Pinson, in northeast Jefferson County.  Heck, there are even traffic signals at both termini, so you know it's gotta be really important!   :-D

Allow me to add LA 805 in Athens:  .4 mile, as measured by my company truck's odometer.

Also:  LA 798-1 & 798-3, both in Arcadia, are both less than .5 mile long.

CT shortest is 125 which is about 1.24 mi. It connects routes 4 and 128 in Cornwall.

I would have expected it to be one of the 3xx routes...
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

CT 78 is shorter (about 0.2 mi), which is the extension of RI 78 into CT.

KY 913C has to be in the running for shortest signed route in Kentucky.

FL 160 is about 500 feet and VERY well signed from FL 61 and US 319, in addition to reassurance markers...

https://goo.gl/maps/CkJXI

Virginia has some short ones that are signed:
VA 79 - 0.23 miles
VA 162 - 0.17 miles
VA 292 - 0.39 miles
VA 300Y is sorta signed - 0.04 miles

A number of others are under a mile but most are VA 3xx series routes

North Carolina's shortest route NC 400 is signed and is 0.49 miles WB.

Off the top of my head I believe South Carolina's shortest primary route is US 701 Bus for Tabor City NC, signed on its 900 ft length.

How about NC 610 in High Point?  Is that shorter?

KY 913C has to be in the running for shortest signed route in Kentucky.

Where is this route?

913C is 1/2 mile (Blankenbaker Access Drive in Jeffersontown). There are probably shorter ones.

I only see one shield referring to that road as a state route, and that shield refers to it as "913", not 913C. I'm sure 913C exists but I'm not sure if it's signed or not. Given how extensive Kentucky's state route system is, I'd love to find an official log of all of it's routes, both signed and unsigned. Looking at KTC website thus far has proven fruitless.

NC 610 is 2.1 miles.  Recent NC Official maps state outright that NC 400 is the shortest state highway.

It's not exactly a log, but http://apps.transportation.ky.gov/HIS_Reports/TruckWeightLimitsParam.aspx is a (poorly-sorted) list of all routes. If you have the number, it's simple enough to use the Goog.

Look at "SPRS Lists" and there is a county-by-county listing of routes, with descriptions, mileage and classification (Interstate, parkway, state primary, state secondary, rural secondary and supplemental).

CA-480 was one of California's shortest state route but Loma Prieta quake cease 480's operation.

KY 913C actually was KY 913 until Blankenbaker Parkway was extended to Taylorsville Road (KY 155).  The "C" looks like it was affixed to the existing sign.

Not even close to the shortest (which has been mentioned earlier in the thread, Route 265 in Weed). 

http://www.cahighways.org/stats1.html

Using the most broad definition of "signed" (that is, with ANY usage of the route shield, even if only at junctions), it'd be basically 77 (though I haven't seen that in person), 153, 265, 282, 207, 262, 114 (which has one or two shields off of 101).

I'm not sure if NJ 59 or NJ 64 have any signage referring to them.

Both get a single traffic light blade: 59 64

Right.  And NJ 62 is posted on one of the overhead signs on US 46.

State Route 906 Spur in Washington is the shortest signed highway I've driven, I think. SRWeb says .44 miles.



Washington State Route 504 Spur is pretty short too



as


I would have thought SR 9 Spur in Sumas would be shorter.  Then again, I haven't been to Sumas in about 10 years, so I'm unsure if it is signed anymore.


SR 529 Spur could also be a contender, with is just the 3 blocks between I-5 and Maple Street (The real SR 529).
They said take a left at the fork in the road.  I didn't think they literally meant a fork, until plain as day, there was a fork sticking out of the road at a junction.

North Dakota 91 in Harvey is signed (per GSV) along 7th St between ND 3 and US 52.  I think this is a newer state highway and it's hard to find any information about it, but from ND 3 to US 52 is roughly 1500 feet.

WIS 159 is the shorted *signed* route at 1.27 miles. It gives drivers from the south on US 12 a shortcut to Devil's Lake State Park near Baraboo.  The shortest *route* is Miller Park Way - designated but not marked as WIS 341.
