Cross-state logo sign advertising

[Pink Jazz]

I would like to know, has anyone seen examples of logo signs in one state advertising services at an exit in another state?

Looking at ADOT's Grand Canyon State Logo Signs website, I actually discovered that they actually have two logo signs on I-15 advertising services for Exit 122 in Mesquite, Nevada on the Arizona side of the border.  I presume the businesses who signed up for these signs must have deep enough pockets to feel it is worthwhile to pay both Nevada Logos as well as GCSLS to advertise on both sides of the state lines. 

In truth, as far as state DOTs go, ADOT is actually benefitting more than NDOT, since ever since ADOT took full control of the state's logo sign program they now receive 100% of the logo sign revenue.  Nevada's logo sign program on the other hand is privatized (operated by Lamar subsidiary Nevada Logos), and in the current contract NDOT only receives 20% of the total revenue.  It's a bit ironic that a business in Nevada would be giving more revenue to Arizona than their own state.

I think there are blue logo signs in Kentucky on southbound I-75 for the US 25W exit in Jellico, Tenn.

Going to the Kentucky Logos website, there does not appear to be any logo signs for that exit on the Kentucky side of the border (their website has an interactive map for every logo sign in the state).  Perhaps those signs you saw might be owned by Law Signs (the logo sign contractor for Tennessee), who may have signed an agreement with the state of Kentucky to allow the installation of the signs on their side of the border.

I don't know about logos, but I'm pretty sure that there are services at least mentioned on a sign on the Mass Pike heading westbound that they are available in NY.

What is now exit 357 on I-69 in Indiana is less than a mile south of the Michigan state line. I know the 1-mile advance sign southbound is in Michigan, and I remember a logo sign on southbound I-69 within Michigan. Google Street View confirms that there was one in October 2008.

All of the logo signs for Indiana Exits 156B-A westbound on I-70 are in Ohio.  Exit 156B returns you to Ohio immediately anyway, so there is at least one business in Ohio whose logo is on a sign in Ohio via an exit in Indiana.

The only signing on the MassPike westbound for services in New York state is a generic sign indicating "Full Service Truck Stop at New York Exit B3".  It's located prior to MassPike Exit 1 for West Stockbridge.

This sign here is still in Maryland, but you're really close to the state line, about 1/4 mile away.

Any idea as to what's the purpose of having the logo Maryland state seal next to the 'Attractions Exit 1' legend?

I have no idea why the Maryland state seal is on the sign, but my guess is that the sign is advertising an upcoming exit in Pennsylvania but was erected by Maryland. I don't know if the sign is done to PennDOT standards.

Probably not.

Since this sign does not show on Kentucky Logos' website, it was probably erected by Tennessee's logo sign contractor Law Signs, who probably signed an agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to allow its installation on their right of way (Law Signs does not have an interactive map on their website that shows which exits logo signs are installed).

I don't know if this counts, but along I-95 in Virginia and North Carolina, there are billboards encouraging motorists to travel to Myrtle Beach, SC.

I'm surprised you didn't bring up South of the Border.

I-84 Exit 1 near Port Jervis, NY.  It has some gas stations that are probably on the logo signs that are in New Jersey as the state line is just south of I-84 by a few hundred feet.

So? The sign is still in Kentucky and lists businesses in Tennessee.

I-84 doesn't enter New Jersey, but close to where it crosses from NY to PA, there are these:

The McDonald's, Dairy Queen, Village Pizza, Valero, Pilot, and BP are definitely in NJ. Citgo's address is in NJ, but I believe the welcome signs are actually south of it.

Even though the exit is half in Pennsylvania, the attraction being advertised is in Maryland. It looks as if the antique store advertised doesn't have a corresponding sign in PA for southbound traffic.

And if you're just referring to the Maryland insignia on Attractions signs in general–this doesn't seem to be terribly uncommon. New York has the I♥NY logos on blue attractions signs, Ontario has a stylized provincial logo on attractions signs... I know I've seen them elsewhere as well.

Missed it by that much!

The exit 1 ramp is in Pennsylvania - the Welcome to PA sign is actually still in Maryland (the dividing line is the center stripe on PA 163). The attraction advertised is in Maryland, but why would you enter Pennsylvania just to re-enter Maryland? Couldn't you use exit 9 or exit 10?

This is on I-10 in Florida, advertising a location of a Texan chain of gigantic convenience stores...
