They're using a new reassurance shield design along I-90 in the Moses Lake area in Washington: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nADzwaDF8bMPtg4z9

Quote from: wanderer2575 on August 17, 2026, 07:28:36 AMIf it's like Michigan, ENDS is a verb and not a noun.  It should be below the route shield, although even Michigan didn't always get that right.

Meanwhile, Kansas went and did the opposite with K-42:

Another interesting thing at that interchange is KDOT using control cities on a 3di other than I-135—itself pretty unusual—meaning we get the rare fully-spelled out "Oklahoma City". (Every state that borders Oklahoma has their own control city fairly close to the border, and in Oklahoma itself it is nearly always abbreviated as "Okla. City".)

Ends?  Is this only one end?

They got it right in Charleston though for US 78.



Plus here they have the proper END.

Here's a potential worst... this sign was intended as a borough limit sign, but was instead modified very sloppily to be a distance sign:



Note that the edits are in yellow, and that the number is unclear (it's 1, not 7).
