I was amazed how Rhode Island sign the US 1 and RI 122 split in Pawtucket with not only a little green sign, but a very petite US and RI route shields as well.
Any other finds like this other than traditional mile markers?
The ones on street name signs.

Kansas Highway Commission souvenir (roughly 4x4)
I have seen them on street signs (specifically, US 30 in Philadelphia and County 537 in Camden).
Mercer County loves to use rather small county route markers for their street name signs.

West Virginia uses some tiny markers for some of its county routes.

To see how small, here is the marker next to a standard speed limit sign.

FTFY. (they do it randomly on the state intersections ones too: https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.37228,-74.798183&spn=0.014746,0.066047&cbll=40.372273,-74.798173&layer=c&panoid=8-8vLXnHKsoiwjqg1T3LAQ&cbp=11,156.87,,2,-0.06&t=m&z=15 )
Those of us who were at last year's Portsmouth, NH meet (when the US 1 bridge was still closed for construction repairs) may remember seeing some orange contruction signs that had small US 1 shields on them.

RI is terrible at consistently signing US 1 through Providence and Pawtucket.
Found this tiny interstate sign in Peoria, Illinois.

Yes, it is part of a mile marker, but it is a separate mini shield nonetheless:

While a sign like this is an interesting find, it's terrible for a DOT to post something like this. How would it be possible to navigate with a sign this small?

The roundabout directional signs on BC roads . . . I think they're around 6 or 8 inches tall.

DOT? More like the City of Peoria.
Here it is on GSV (next to, of all things, a FYA signal): https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=40.691163,-89.595617&spn=0.001651,0.002642&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=40.69121,-89.595654&panoid=rFmnHhB47-SJStIeCRyi8A&cbp=12,114.05,,1,-7.54
It has a friend as well at the same intersection (William Kumpf Blvd & John H Gwynn Ave):

Found these really small shields/markers on the US 1 Freeway when you are about to enter Trenton:

I don't think I would notice them if I were going anywhere near highway speed driving past those signs.

New Jersey uses them on the cross-street-name signs hanging under traffic light arms.

That usage is defined in the MUTCD (2D.43, D3-1a).

I wouldn't count this one for purposes of this thread. While the route sign is separate from the mile marker sign, the purpose of this one seems to be to achieve the effect of an enhanced reference marker sign without fabricating an entirely new mile marker with all the information on one panel.

These don't look tiny at all...
Well, time to bring this thread back.
If you look above the arrow on the right sign, there is a tiny ON 11 shield with "one block north" written next to it. I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to read that.. :hmmm:
The signs have since been replaced with better, more decent signs.
