In general, how well-signed are the Appalacian Development Corridors? I live in Columbus, and I know from research that US 23 south of town is Corridor B (or is it C?) but nobody here calls it that. Besides Wikipedia, I haven't even seen any maps with these lettered corridor routes labeled, though I think I've seen photos of some Corridor X signage. So when people on these roadgeek forums talk about, for example, Corridor H, I have only a vague idea of the road(s) involved. It seems unlikely to me that these Corridor _ designations were meant to be used by the public. If they are, what's with the lack of signage in Ohio and nearby states, and why aren't they marked on AAA or RMcN maps?
They are very well signed in WV. Each route has mile markers on it with the respected corridor letter going inside of the WV shape.
Alabama has those distinctive blue route markers for the ARC routes, and Georgia uses them in places.
I think a specific supplemental marker should be developed, based on the ARC logo, and posted on the ARC corridors.

http://www.arc.gov/adhs has a map and detailed maps by state ('status of the ADHS...').

Georgia's (Corridor A) say 'APD Hwy': http://www.interstate-guide.com/images575/i-575_ga_nt_08.jpg The other supposed corridor in Georgia, Corridor Z, is not part of the ADHS.
As for public usage, Corridor H was the only name before US 48 was designated.

The only one in Ohio that gets any kind of run is Corridor D, aka Oh 32, aka Appalachian Highway.

It's not signed as Corridor D anywhere, is it?
Not in Ohio, it isn't.

It's signed Apalachian Highway, is that not good enough for you?
