Signs that tell you where you are not

Very similar to Quebec's standard method of showing changes: https://www.google.com/maps/@45.3157883,-73.2229158,3a,20.9y,147.66h,93.47t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s0MDqf_JkLN2MyQangQQfNQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Ce n'est pas sortie 3, mais sortie 39?

I can't tell what the crossed out 3 is saying -- not ROUTE 3, or not EXIT 3?

It's former Exit 3. The current numbering is distance from the US border, but there is still a gap between I-89 and A-35.

I have the other sign from I-70 Exit 18 in Maryland.

In the spirit of the MD 68/I-68 example, this sign on US 11-15 in Liverpool, PA (between Harrisburg and Selinsgrove) warns you that PA 17 is not NY 17–in case you thought that you inexplicably made it all the way through Pennsylvania in two hours less than normal.

That almost looks like the New York Route is 17 miles from the sign, because of the real mileage sign posted just below it.

Wasn't I-86 originally designated as PA 17? I thought PA was a no duplicate state. How were there two PA 17s?

This is a sign that tells you where you are not going.  It isn't a sign that tells you where you are not.

This is a sign that tells you where you are going.  Basically, it's a trailblazer.

Long story short, it was numbered in order to be consistent with NY 17, and was being upgraded to interstate standard. It became I-86 in 1997.

An interesting thing is that both PA 17's were inventoried as SR 17, however, I speculate there would be a 17N and 17S to differentiate the two.
