Interstate Shield/Logo Painted on Pavement

[coldshoulder]

Was in Toledo, Ohio this past weekend and traveled on I-75 and I-475 near Perrysburg when I noticed the I-75 Shield/Logo painted (in color) on the concrete pavement in certain lanes as a further directional guide for travelers.  I had never seen this before and wonder if it is commonplace anywhere else in the country?

I was in an area where some construction/reconstruction was nearly finished, so perhaps the lane markings were only temporary during construction?

Anybody?

I can think of a few roads in Northern Virginia and DC that have them, though I wouldn't say it's common here.

–Northbound Van Dorn Street (Virginia secondary route 613) just south of I-495

–Inbound I-395/US-1 on the 14th Street Bridge (inbound-only span)

–Arlington Memorial Bridge outbound lanes (outline shields, not in color unlike the others noted above)

I-184 used to at I-84: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.6031142,-116.2808647,3a,75y,224.65h,77.86t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sU5f-8uYSRFI9aUsL0Pr1PA!2e0!5s20110901T000000!7i13312!8i6656

Gone now though (or just faded to zero visibility, not sure which). EDIT: The adjacent ramp from Franklin Rd./Milwaukee St. might still have them. Still show up on GSV as of 2015 (though somewhat faded), can't remember if they were still visible more recently.

I didn't realize they are THAT elongated...

In the last year or so, I have seen them pop up more frequently here in Tampa.

Ubiquitous in Texas. I think we actually pioneered this usage - I remember seeing them on the 20-820 East split back in 2000 or so.

We've had it for awhile on Ohio 28 Westbound approaching I-275. One lane is marked for Northbound I-275 and the other is marked for Southbound I-275.

I've also seen it in North Carolina. In the following aerial view I-40, there are Interstate shields on the pavement for I-40 and I-73:

SB I-75 / US-23 in Flint, at the split.

And I saw it somewhere else in SE Mich, but I forget where.

WVDOH has I-70 shields along the pavement in both directions of I-70 approaching Wheeling tunnel, where through traffic needs to be in the left lane.

Last year, I-79 shields were added along US 19/WV 7 and CR 19/24 heading out of Morgantown to show which lanes to use to get onto the Interstate.

Popping up all over Birmingham on I-20/59 and I-65.

[US 81]

It wouldn't surprise me. Ubiquitous, indeed - can be found in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Ft. Worth, El Paso....

They used to have them here:

but they got scraped off. The area is on a hill which made it hard to see them.

Maybe they should be used on M-22, so they can't be stolen.

Before they repaved the Bulkeley Bridge on I-84, there was.

I've noticed them on I 10EB before the I 12 split in Baton Rouge, LA

The I-87/I-287 shield picture is I-87 South, after the Tappan Zee Bridge but before I-287 East in Westchester County.

[DandyDan]

I've seen them on I-35/I-80 as I-80 splits westbound in the Des Moines area and I-70 westbound approaching Topeka, KS, where the Kansas Turnpike turns into I-470.

Popping up in Massachusetts in places, which I've seen on MA 2 for I-190 and on I-90 for I-84.

Popping up in Massachusetts in places, which I've seen on MA 2 for I-190 and on I-90 for I-84.

Huh.  The ones at MA 2/I-190 must be quite new.  Over the years, I've wondered about all the safety signage at that intersection from MA 2's perspective.  The intersection never seemed to be that complicated to me (and besides, it's Leominster, not exactly a thriving metropolis).

A couple of pavement painted shields in Chester, PA:

Though not an Interstate shield, Painted US 322 shield along I-95 South approaching the US 322 West exit
