photos of old signs on the internet

[NE2]

An eBay seller is offering the negative of this photo, titled "Vintage 35mm Film Negative 1970's Connecticut Highway Traffic Jam".

It looks like a Super 2, with a BGS reading "US 1 / Providence / New York / Exits 1 mile". Any idea where this is (was)? Car buffs can probably narrow down the year. (Edit: the seller has tagged several similar photos as New London)

Perhaps RI 138?
It was two lanes in 1970.

Saw this on Facebook today. Taken at what is today the I-70/I-270 interchange in Maryland Heights, MO. I-244 was the original designation of the part of the St. Louis beltway from this location south/east to the I-55 interchange in Mehlville. It was re-numbered I-270 in 1974.

See that 'NAT' patch on the left? That replaced (presumably) 'IMP' in or soon after 1870, when the Second French Empire became the Third French Republic (silly Napoleon III). Yes, 19th-century greenout.

Here's one that was never patched: https://routes.fandom.com/wiki/Route_nationale_fran%C3%A7aise_91?file=38_PlaqueCocher_RN91_Sechiliennes.JPG

Another patched: https://routes.fandom.com/wiki/Route_nationale_fran%C3%A7aise_146?file=03_Saint-Pour%C3%A7ain-sur-Sioule_ex-N146.JPG

Looks like here the whole word was patched: https://routes.fandom.com/wiki/Route_nationale_fran%C3%A7aise_181?file=Cocher_-_60D1001_-_Froissy.JPG

An obvious patch: https://routes.fandom.com/wiki/Route_nationale_fran%C3%A7aise_203?file=RN203.jpg

In the Southington (CT) bicentennial history book, published 1979, there's a neat photo from the 1920s where CT 322 and Norton St intersect now:



State highway 111 became CT 14, then US 6A, then CT 66, and is now CT 322.
SH 116 became CT 10.

I've only seen a few of these pre-1932 highway signs from CT.
