I've seen something similar with CT shields inside Penn Station but for the vehicles actually being used rather than parking.
I feel like this thread is a duplicate...
Route shields as parking spot numbers. Ya see something new every day then!
Two interstate-shaped shields used for "Gate A" (https://maps.app.goo.gl/5EaekC6D4vR46VtM6?g_st=ic) and "Gate 1" (https://maps.app.goo.gl/6YrnLbb82XbXFmJE7?g_st=ic) at a residential neighborhood in Boynton Beach, Florida.
Some Virginia jurisdictions use secondary route shields as memorial markers.

Chicago used US route shields for brake guide markers during the NASCAR Chicago Street Race this past season, which was pretty cool.

This is trippy and cool at the same time.
Has anybody been to DeLand, Florida. There's a group of road signs turned into a work of art, and it includes some route shields.

South Carolina does as well, with the inverse blue and white. (Can't find a specific example to post, because I don't regularly pass by one)

At least they're not reflective...well, they're not supposed to be, but I have seen some reflective ones here and there.

I guess Noah took the Austin challenge himself.
A moving company in the DC area calls itself "495 movers" and uses the I-495 shield as its logo.

As you might imagine, it is a common occurrence to see these vans when driving on I-495.

I think they were short-lived, I remember seeing a few that were installed and removed later on. I haven't seen new ones recently.
