Only in this state....

[cjk374]

On the Southeast board is a thread talking about Louisiana's hyphenated "route families".  The entire time I was reading it I was thinking "only in Louisiana".  What else is out there that makes you say "only in this state"?

The fractional route numbering of West Virginia.

[kphoger]

There are hyphenated county road numbers all over Missouri.

In Hawaii, county route markers identical to the state markers (except on Maui island, where county roads often have slightly different and uglier versions of the state marker).

Arkansas: Multiple occurrences of a route number (AR 60, AR 74 come to mind right away)

I can attest to Missouri's hyphenated county roads (and lake roads) such as 86-3 or JJ-6 as kphoger mentioned. I wonder if they ever get double hyphened such a JJ-6-A ?

If I'm not mistaken, California is the only state route shield that is never displayed in a square/rectangle.

Oh, absolutely.  Here is a portion of Stone County.  Toward the bottom center area, you can easily pick out a road named DD-20-C.  On the other side of the point is D-25-B.  Et cætera.  Sorry, Louisiana.

Only in Florida: a route marker that looks like a drooping penis.

[jp the roadgeek]

Only in Connecticut:  BGS's with reflective button copy and route markers on the signs with green backgrounds.

Only in Mass.: Signs that say "Thickly Settled" when reaching a town

Only in Vermont: Yellow signs that warn of frost heaves.

Only in New York: The little green reference markers every 1/5 of a mile

Only in Delaware: Blinking green signals.

[bugo]

How much time do you have, buddy?

Only in Delaware: Blinking green signals.

Where exactly in Delaware have you seen flashing green signals? I've heard of them existing in Massachusetts, but I didn't know anywhere else in the US had them.

I remember seeing one on DE 1 between Dover and Rehoboth.

Outside of the U.S., but pretty close, Ontario has blinking green, at least they did when I visited Toronto in 1997.

I too remember seeing flashing green on DE 1 in that vicinity....it was at least 15 years ago but I definitely remember seeing it and thinking "hey! I thought flashing green was just a Massachusetts thing!"

Vancouver BC had them as of 2011.  On major street only. Cross street had stop signs and push-button pedestrian signals on those intersections.

Interesting. I had no clue that Delaware had them, so this is news to me. I'm willing to bet that these are gone by now?

Does any state besides New Mexico have the "Dust Storms May Exist" signs?  [I think Texas and maybe other states have "Watch for Dust Storms" signs.]   

We were pretty tired by the time we drove thru and the wording just seemed very...existential...to us. We were somewhere between philosophical and punchy....

Most people think jughandles are only in NJ, but they definitely exist elsewhere. Here's one that's pretty uniquely NJ: traffic circles with ambiguous traffic control and at least one leg, if not two or more legs, where the entrance has priority over the circle.

Only in Quebec: road signs in French.
Only in Prince Edward Island - everything is on an LGS
Only in Pennsylvania - the roads follow the landscape instead of being built straight

"Do Not Drive Into Smoke" signs on the Will Rogers Turnpike here in Oklahoma.

Oregon's "SPEED" signs.

Are there any other states other than Wisconsin that exclusively use letters to designate county highways?

Missouri

[mcdonaat]

Louisiana: Route families (LA 1208-1, -2, -3, -4, -5); parish markers instead of county markers; four state gravel highways.

Mississippi: numbering each old US highway alignment with a 1XX, as in, Old US 84 is 184, even if it exists twenty times.

Arkansas: Business routes are XXB. In Huttig, AR 129 is AR 129B.

Missouri

Some lettered routes in Missouri have a number after the letter(s).  And unlike in Wisconsin, lettered routes in Missouri are secondary state highways rather than county highways.

The Kansas Turnpike has those as well.
