Has anyone mentioned Tx route "OSR" Old San Antonio Road.
And a highway will be there;
    it will be called the Way of Holiness;
    it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean will not journey on it;
    wicked fools will not go about on it.
Isaiah 35:8-10 (NIV)

Pena Blvd to DIA, and, as well as the E-470 Tollway (not a state highway, owned and operated by the E-470 Public Highway Authority).

Also, the Franconia Notch Pkwy in northern New Hampshire, which is technically not a part of I-93.

It's US 3 anyway. So double failure.

I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

Back in the 70s, when the section of Future I-90 between Detroit Road -- SR-2/SR-254 -- and West 117th St. in Cleveland was opened, It was simply known on BGSs as "Fwy." until the missing link between W. 117th and I-71 was completed, then the I-90 Freeway was signed as such.

When I went thru there a few years ago, most of the signage I saw stressed the Parkway and either didn't mention I-93 and US 3, or said "To" I-93/US 3. Of course, there is only one exit within the park that is not actually between I-93 and US 3, so small sample size.

Pena qualifies, but E-470 does have its own route shield.

Two interchanges along the overlap, both of which had clear signage for I-93/US 3 as of the Goog's 2008 photos (still there in 2011).

I realize that it has its own shield, but it's not a state highway (nor is the NW Parkway, which has its own shield). So there is no "route" to call it, other than its name, which happens to be E-470 (or Extension 470).
