ENDS/CONTINUE ON signs in Missouri

[bugo]

I'm talking about these signs:



There are at least 4 more signs in Missouri (at the western end of I-64, the western end of I-72, and both ends of I-49.) Do any other states use similar signs? If not, where would be good places to place signs like this in your area? What state has the most situations where signs like this would be appropriate? When were these signs first used?

Is there one at the eastern/northern end of I-470?

At the east end of US 212, the sign says "END 212/BEGIN 62", which isn't accurate because MN 62 doesn't end at the interchange with 212. A "END 212/CONTINUE ON EAST 62" would work well there.

Though speaking of MN 62, that could feature a "END 62/CONTINUE 55 EAST" sign at its east end as MN 55 takes over the 62 mainline from its Hiawatha alignment at that interchange.

I-35/US 8 ("END US 8/CONTINUE ON I-35 SOUTH")

This is a case when BEGIN would not be correct (not that that's stopped NJDOT).

There's one in Massachusetts which is END 1-395/BEGIN I-290 going north and vice versa when going south.

Unlike 290/395, this actually matches the original post, in that the route you're entering doesn't begin.

Make that six for the Show-Me State. There are similar signs in each direction where I-255 and I-270 transition.

Do any other states use similar signs? If not, where would be good places to place signs like this in your area? What state has the most situations where signs like this would be appropriate?

Plenty of examples where Kentucky could use these.

End I-265, Continue on KY 841 (twice)
End Hal Rogers Parkway, Continue on KY 80 (twice)
End Mountain Parkway, Continue on US 460/KY 114 (Until the "Restaurant Row" Salyersville portion of US 460 and then KY 114 are widened as part of the Mountain Parkway expansion project and the Mountain Parkway name is applied to those routes.)
End Purchase Parkway, Continue on US 51
End Pennyrile Parkway, Continue on US 41
End Bluegrass Parkway, Continue on US 60

There could have been an End Cumberland Parkway, Continue on KY 80 sign until the Cumberland Parkway was relocated to end at US 27 north of Somerset with no continuation route.

Michigan has one with I-96 ends / Bus US 31 begins and vice versa at Norton Shores.

This sign in Virginia on then—Route 7100, now Route 286, advises of what most people driving on that road would probably consider a TOTSO if they knew of that abbreviation. The route numbers have been replaced with primary routes 289 and 286 since the sign was posted but I haven't bothered to get a new picture.

Could be like Illinois's signs like that:



Which isn't exactly true.  While I-294 does end here, I-94 does not begin here.

To my recollection there are no End/Continue signs on I-470.

I-255/I-270 have them, though.

And, of course, I-49.

[bugo]

I already said I-49.

Another historical example was at the old signed end of I-44 at I-55 south of downtown.

Good - I don't have to travel to Key West to find a 'Begin US 1' sign now.

[Alex]

It appears to be a MoDOT standard signing practice. You can find one on Missouri 370 as well:

[roadman65]

New Jersey has them at the I-287 and NJ 440 transition in Edison, NJ on both sides.

[US71]

End I-255




and the old 44 Ends Sign

[bzakharin]

The AC Expressway westbound could really use one. Instead, all we get is "Philadelphia via N.S. Freeway", a sign that is never followed up on, nor is it a name that anybody knows (or is signed anywhere else), and a sign thanking you for driving on the AC Expressway. Continue on NJ-42 could be so much better. For that matter, the transition from NJ-42 to I-76 and vice versa is not clearly marked either (unless you count a Mile 0 / Mile 14 markers), but I suspect most people don't care about that one, and it's just 42 the entire way.

Hawaii seems to do this.  Here is an example from Kauai, where Hi-56 becomes HI-560 in Princeville.  Also note the reset of the mileposts at this sign.

There should be a reverse of that sign that reads
"86 ends
84 to Portland"

It would have been even better if Lovejoy had won the coin flip to name Portland "Boston".

This one near Bowling Green, Virginia, always annoys me, being nowhere near either of the beginnings of US 301.  I'd much rather see the Missouri alternative.

Nothing like this currently exists at either end of I-470, though both ends are signed with END signs.

A Michigan ends: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.289396,-83.806012,3a,75y,270h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1simJsTRWGW9qtBUx2152MJg!2e0?hl=en

Where M-14 ends, it just says I-94 West.
