North Carolina

Fewer direction signs are probably common, I never really noticed that some weren't part of the signs.

NC581 (and NC561) begin in Louisburg, where I grew up.

I like the simple diamond shield for state highways. I've never cared for the outline of state's shapes.

NC at one time used the symbol for UNC Chapel Hill, the N and C on top of one another was at one time the state highway shield, in the 30s, 40s, maybe 50s.

For the use of the interlocked NC and UNC, they are not completely the same.
