My examples:
US 19E in western NC is labeled on street blades, and locally called, "Nineteen E Highway". Also, the long US 15/501 duplex through central NC is labeled "Fifteen/Five-O-One" in some rural places.
Nashville's I-440 is called the Four Forty Parkway (https://www.flickr.com/photos/therealkurumi/5231728107/in/album-72157625403354483/).
I've heard truckers refer to I-95 as "95th Street"
Primary and US route numbers in some rural parts of Virginia are spelled out on street sign blades if the road doesn't have another name...for example, US 1 is "Highway One" (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.6891528,-78.2009129,3a,75y,160h,71.14t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1srdP1bAIA--4Dy0nxIJa-lw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656), US 58 is "Highway Fifty-Eight" (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.6717374,-78.2883427,3a,75y,22.09h,92.63t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1spIP8KtaFa0bl_dXeblyDdA!2e0!7i3328!8i1664), VA 47 is "Highway Forty-Seven" (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.7655087,-78.1789296,3a,75y,65.57h,86.52t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1szX9Qyrw_8d-TzUVP_CQb7g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656), and so on.
SR 634 in Sussex County is an old alignment of VA 40, and is named Old Forty Road (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.9150398,-77.2793598,3a,41.3y,117.68h,85.43t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s240PgNwKBKt1wZNlxHPw6Q!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D240PgNwKBKt1wZNlxHPw6Q%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D241.73657%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656). There is also an "Old Route 33" in Henrico County that was an old alignment of US 33.
^I've always had mixed feelings about the infamous US 58 shield on this mast arm, though I'm almost certain this is Atlantic St since it's inside South Hill (thus disqualifying it from this thread), VDOT posted the shield instead as if it didn't have a street name at all

That's a strange intersection. On the Shaw Street side, US 58 is posted as Atlantic St. On the Cycle Lane side, it's posted as Highway Fifty-Eight. At this point it should definitely still be Atlantic St.
Of course, Google Maps also misidentifies US 58 BYPASS as Atlantic St, when it's posted as "58 BYPASS" (Atlantic St is on US 58 BUSINESS instead).
The 42 Freeway in NJ. Though it's not signed like that anywhere. Roads without names in NJ don't usually spell out the numbers on blades, just "Route xx" or "Rt. xx", e.g. https://goo.gl/GBnAqP

Every blade on that side says Atlantic St but none on the eastbound side, strange indeed. There's even an Old Hwy 58 blade for SR 618 with no blade at all for current US 58, also on the eastbound side.
On the I-74/US 74 duplex in southern NC, many of the locals have started calling it "The 74s".
