Terminus-to-terminus distance signs?

[TheStranger]

I mentioned it in the Road-related Illustrations thread, and thought of it again today when Ocean City was brought up there - how many roads that cross state lines have signage for the opposite end of the road from one terminus? 

California does this for US 6, I-40, and US 50:

(from Mike Ballard's site)





I know for sure that I-80 and US 101 do not have this, and don't think that I-5 or I-10 do either.

5 and 10 do not, though 10 does have the Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway sign near its western terminus, acknowledging it as a coast-to-coast route.

US-6 has, at the Provincetown end, a very unofficial sign for Long Beach.

There has been a sign in Copper Harbor, MI, which gave the distance of 1990 to Miami, FL. Unfortunately, I have no idea whether the reverse is true in Miami.

[agentsteel53]

speaking of Florida, there's a sign in Fort Kent, ME for US-1.

There's one on the NC end of I-40 as well.



Maryland has them on US 50 in Ocean City as noted, as well as I-70 just west of the Baltimore Beltway.

It's a lousy picture, but here's my shot of the US 50 sign in Ocean City.

Here's the one in Copper Harbor.

Funny thing is, there's one minor error with the sign: US 50's terminus is not the city of Sacramento (not since 1982), but West Sacramento on the other side of the river (and in the county of Yolo)!  I don't think that's too significant of a difference though for the casual observer.

...US 50's terminus is not the city of Sacramento (not since 1982), but West Sacramento on the other side of the river (and in the county of Yolo)!

Tangent: is this because I-80 originally followed today's BL-80 through town, and US 50 ended at today's exit 6?  And then the current I-80 was opened in 1982, so US 50 was extended to the west, along the old I-80?

Somewhat correct - US 50's terminus from about 1972 to 1982 was at Route 99 and I-80 (where today's Business 80, then I-80, takes ramps from the WX Freeway to the 29/30 Freeway) at the Oak Park interchange.

When 50 was extended to West Sacramento, the eastbound direction between today's exits 1 and 6 received US 50 signage - but not the westbound direction!  West of 65th Street, the route is signed as follows:

"TO I-80 West" (at Stockton Boulevard)
"Route 99 NORTH TO I-80/I-5" (at Route 99 south and 26th Street)
"I-80 West" (at I-5 west, signage installed in late 2009)
"Business 80 West" (from 16th Street west to terminus)

Now, current I-80 had existed from about 1968 to 1982 as I-880, but when the planned realignment for then-I-80 in North Sacramento (along the rail right of way) to bring that up to Interstate standards was shelved in lieu of funding local light rail, the move of I-80 to then-I-880 was enacted, with the freeway that had been built as US 99E becoming Business 80/hidden Route 51, and the freeway that was built as either I-80 or US 40/99W becoming US 50 and Businsess 80 and hidden I-305 (in addition to the already-existing segment that was Route 99).

Last I heard (and seen), I-70 has one of these leaving Baltimore heading west.

[agentsteel53]

there should be one heading east from Cove Fort, UT as well.  "Park and ride facility: 2600 miles"

speaking of Florida, there's a sign in Fort Kent, ME for US-1.

...and likewise, there have been several counterparts on US 1 in Key West (although I don't think there's anything there currently):

There's a local sign job at the east end of US 80 in Georgia, referencing the historic San Diego western terminus:

I'm just wondering, is there one for I-10 in Jacksonville, FL to Santa Monica (or essentially Los Angeles), CA, for that matter?

There is not one.
