Hi everyone,
Stumbled across these 'ALT US 93A' shields on Google Maps today. Are there any others found elsewhere?

You can see them in DC. They messed up, however, by making it "ALT 1A." There shouldn't be a suffix on the route number there.

commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.
