There's another on I-65 by the Peytonsville Road exit (TN 248).

Quote from: kphoger on August 21, 2025, 09:06:43 AMCorrect.  The highway is signposted as the Sam Houston Tollway on the tolled portions, but signposted as Beltway 8 on the free portions.  I'm not aware of any place it's signed as both.
This take may be correct or incorrect. The highway is signed as both on the ship channel toll bridge SB:

But it is signed as the SHT only heading northbound:

So I'm not sure what to believe.

Almost certainly, I've seen those on I-65 in the Franklin area before.
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

Do you happen to know what that ramp goes to? Google aerial imagery is over two years old.

Oddly, it seems to go to a construction site. The ramp and the road it connects to aren't on the regular Google Maps imagery either.

And no, nothing has ever graced the lonesome right side of this sign.
This sign has since been replaced.

And if you can't see the UR Medicine logo on the side of the building a half a block up on the left...
